COL. BOB A'ELDONNEY
Thinks the Outlook for Democratic
Success is Very Bright.
Silver Sentiment is Strong Through
out the State, and is Making Con-
verts Daily-A Big Vote at the
Primary Election in Wetzel
County-The Col is Not Con-
gressional Candidate.

Col. Bob McEldowney, the Wetzel
county editor and statesman, was in the
city yesterday accompanied by his wife,
who departed on the Panhandle ex-
cursion for Atlantic City. When seen
by a Register reporter he talked freely
OF political matters, and took very
sanguine view of the outlook for Demo-
cratic success next November
There is a strong and growing silver
sentiment in the agricultural districts,
ha sad, independent of party lines.
The Republican ticket will undoubtedly
lose many votes among The farmers.
| have not been in position to judge
whether this gain will be offset by de-
fect.ons from the Democratic ranks in
the cities. but a better knowledge OF the
financial question will certainly mean
votes for the Democratic ticket, and
with 4 campaign of education | think
there can be no question about the sue
cess tof the Democratic national and
State tickets. West Virginia will re-
main in the Democratic column. The
silver sentiment IS by no means con-
fined to the farmers. | was surprised
to find the number OF oil men who are
deserving the Republican party on ac-
count of its platform declaration fer a
single standard"
You held primary election in Wet
eel recently. What did the vote indi-
cate?" quer.ed the scribe.
yes, we had a Democratic primary
election, and the vote was 2,725, the
largest vote at primary election in the
history of the county. There was no
unusually hard fight among the candi-
dates to bring out the vote. 1t was
simply a contest for the county offices.
The result shows, in my opinion, that
the Populist vote which deserted the
Democratic sarty has returned. The
Republicans also lost in Wetzel, but the
Rcpublican-POpulists returned to their
party in the last election. The Demo-
crate party is now united and harmon
ious in Wetzel, and will roll up an old
time majority for the ticket this fall"
