TO tAs Ed0i or no Register:
SIR:-N( twithstanding the financial
depresslontand difficulty Of the country
Jackson county is in q fairly prosper
Gus cOndiG On. True, money IS not
plentiful, but our people are in no dls-
tress. We have three banks In the
cOunty-One IN RavensWOOd and two 10
Ripley, and while they have not court
ed business in the way OF discounts,
they have kindly met all the neeoIOl
and pressing business demands OF our
citizens; and, upon the other hand, the
patrons or depositors OF the banks have
taken q broad and sensible view OF the
situation, and have left and conunue1
to deposit their money with the BANKS
Politics seem TO retain atenaclous
hold upon our people, and claims thelr
attention more than the financial strln-
Rency, as there is already much speeu-
latlon and many predictions as 10 VINO
will be our next Democratic nom
ipee for Congress In this dis
trict. There are quite number
who have the bee In their bonnet bad,
few OF the most prominent mentioned
now, are Judge Harvey Of huntington,
Judge McCuer Of Parkersburg, and
Hon. John HameltOn OF Calhoun eoun-
". and they are all worthy men, and
no doubt either OF them would repre-
sent the district with credit aud ability
n they could DO elected. In selecting
candidate care should be taken 70 Sc
lect an available one. We have every
evidence that We have such q man, one
who will meet all the requirements
necessary 70 lead US 70 triumphant
and successful election. BE has supe-
rior natural gifts, unusual skill In the
use OF Them. and while he makes no
pretentions 60 OratOry or public speak
ing. still his influence over men and his
success in the field OF politics is mar
yelous. He Is endowed with clear
tact that masters assemblies. He is
kind. courteous, sOciable aud possesses
the e.OQuence OF earnestness and SIN
cerity and above all be has the courage
20 carry out his honest convictions and
perform his sacred duty 70 his country,
and that man Is our present worthy rep
resentatlve the Hon. James Cape
hart of the county Of Mason.
He has been twice elected
10 Congress and has faithfully and hon
estly performed his duty.
he bears the proud distinction OF
having redeemed aud rscued the dis
trlct from the bondage Of Republican
ism 10 1890 by q majority Of 1925, the
largest majority ever won by any pre-
vious candidate, and 10 the election OF
1892 his majority was more than 1000
over the eloquent and redoubtaole
Charlie Caldwell, showing conclusiVeiy
that he IS the illogical" and most avail
able candidate for the Democracy Of
the Fourth Congressional district.
Mr.. Capehart is q farmer, was born
and reared on farm, he is also prom
ipent and influential member Of the
Farmers Alliance, his party is the great
Democracy 70 which he Is thoroughly
and consistently devoted, and he is
without doubt or question the choice OF
the Democracy OF Jackson county and
We have no doubt but what he is the
choice OF the district and that he will
be re.nominated as he merits to be.
We have Of late frequently heard the
name Of the Hon. j. L. Armstrong, OF
Ravenswood, mentioned IN connection
with the State senatOrship. Jackson
County is entitled TO the next candidate
fromth Fifth district by agreement
and custom of EOtatloO- .batge9n the
Mr. sAxScSslIssf1 if~'I and sound judgement
ripe In years and full OF experience,
and Is esteemed by all who know him
for his high sense OF honor and integ-
rlty, and II he will accept the nomina-
tion he is the most available man In
the district, and could be elected with
ease, and he would make q safe, wise
and PrOdent and industrious senator.
FARMER.
