UP THE VALLEY.
Cumberland Democrats AIe
Positive Of Victory.
Candidates are Growing Stronger
Every Day Throughout the Town
D.. Garvin and His Colleagues are Veterans
and Deserve United Support.

AS election day approaches the more GER
tain becomes the success OF the Demo-
cratic ticket In the town OF Cumberland.
The Democratic candidates are growing
stronger each day and now 1t is only the
question of tho size of the majorities the
Democratic candidates will obtain. Tn
present members of the Legislature and
the nominees for reelection by the Re-
publicans, who, as legislators, have been /.
fat failure, and the citizens are recogniz
ing the uselessness of trying any more ex-
periments of that kind.
In DIR. Garvin the town will have the
benefit OF an experienced legislator and
one who knows the ins and outs of the
complicated political machinery at the
State house. His colleagues are men emil
nently well qualified to assist him In the
important measures which are sure to
come up for consideration during the next
session.
In Lincoln IL Is to be regretted that the
Democrats are not stronger, and better
able to put up winning fight. This fact,
however, ought not to deter every Demo
crat In the town from coming out and
polling the full party vote. The voters
should bear in mind the fact that the
State ticket needs every vote in order to
make 1t a decided victory.
