THE Democratic Congressional
Invention Of the 18th District met.

AVID c. KENNoN, of Guernsey
bunty, was nominated by acclama-
pm. Mr.. KENNoS is a well-to-do
smer who is well qualified for the
sition. The district is largely Re-
lblican, but the honest farmer can
aate of the Democrats as against
e boss Doodle nominee of the Re-
Ablicans will no doubt dwindle the
Rge Republican majority at AMI
erming rate, if not overcome it.
IRE is good opportunity for the

Ike. Let the people Of the 18th
strict rise above party and elect
honest man to represent them in
next Congress.
