Democratic Prospects in Harrison County

Democratic Prospects in Harrison OouA'y'
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, October ID.
To the Editor Of the REGISTER.
SIR:-The prospects for Democratic
success in this county never has been
more fattering for years. 1t IS true
that the party has been in the minority
in the past three or four campaigns.
However, at the recent county conVen-
ton the Democratic party acted wisely
in the nomination of an exceptionally
strong ticket. Both Hall and Gerard
are making q strong and effective can
vass for the Legislature. Chester Og-
den is in the lead for county superin-
tendent OF public schools, and 1t is an
assured fact that Wesley Post Will
be the next commissioner or the
county court. The Democratic execu-
tive committee has provided appoint
ments and speakers in this county for
every night until election. The party
is well organized and getting ready Tor
the fight. The announcement that Mr..
Howard, our next congressman, is TO
spend a week in Harrison county
and address its citizens, has
created an uneQualed enthusiasm,
especially as Dovener declines to
meet him. But we do not blame Dove
ney for this after listening TO Towards
mastery, eloquent and persuasive ad-
dresses. II was perhaps the best thing
for Dovener to do under the circustan-
ces, however he cannot escape the
charge of having showed the white
felther." Indeed Of late, there are
some so sangulne as to think Howard
will carry this county. To say the
least November will furnish the Dis
trict a greatly reduced Republican ma
inritY in the county.
