will. the adherents Of Hon. Lorenzo Dan
ford cannot help but remember that Poor
man is the man who was the Democratic
candidate for Congress against Daaford IN
1872, and who villified him IN every way
he could a thing he has done TO nearly
every prominent Republican IN Belmont
county, so that instead OF 500 he may not
have any majority at all in his own county.
Thus il will be seen that the contest IN the
Sixteenth district IS very undecided one
and Judge Pearson stands an eXc5lleht
chance of succeeding himself.
The registration thus lar has been very
full, and the indications are that q large
vote will be polled this fall. There are only
two more days for registration, Friday and
Saturday, October 2Sth and 29th, and any
voters who don't get in at that time who
who have so far failed 10 record their
names on the books Of registration will be
deprived Of their vote.
