The fight in Indiana is fierce
Thousands of dollars Of Republican
money has been sent into that State
to carry the election. The notorious
United States Marshal Davenport is
already there, armed with thousands
of blanks, ready to arrest Democrats
who are comparatively unknown,
challenge their votes, and delay a
hearing untilithe election is over
This is what Republicans call purity
of the ballot.box, The man who
would accept q position like that
held by Davenport is unfit to live.
Vote for Capehart, Roush and
Brown for County Commission
ers. They are men largely
identified with the interests Of
this county, and they will see to
it that the peoples money is not
squandered.
We have not a bit of doubt but
that West Virginia will cast her five
electoral votes for Hancock and Eng
lish. We have no doubt, either, that
she will elect the Democratic State
ticket by u good round majority
But what is demanded Of her is, that
she shall either maintain or increase
her usual majority. AS an October
State she must do this. The Nation
al Republican party must gain no
encouragement from West Virginia
in October. Let there be no scratch
ing, no trading, no staying at home,

D. w. Polsley will carry every
county in the Senatorial District
The people are fast determining tc
have good men in the Legislature
next time, because the State requires
good sound laws for Republicans
Democrats and Greenbackers alike
and this is fast becoming plain ant
apparent to the people. See thai
