Campaign Warming Up IN 7hst
County.

GOVERNOR ATKINSON AND HON. J.
v. BLAIR MAKE SPEECHES IN
BENWOOD SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE COMMISSIONER FIG H T.
AGED BENWOOD CITIZEN DIES
SUDDENLY-POLICE SUMMONED
TO MOUNDSVILLE-LIvE TIME
EXPECTED AT COUNCIL-oTHER
BENWOOD NOTES.
The campaign is becoming warm in
Marshall county. During next week
speakers OF both parties will invade
the county, and from now until cleo
ton day the political contest Will be
lively. Governor George Wesley AT
kinson is scheduled to make speech
In Belwood next Saturday night, and
Hon. J. " Blair, the Democratic can
didate for Congress, will also speak in
Benwood the same night.
The local politicians of Benwood are
somewhat perplexed as to how the two
meetings will be arranged for the
same night The City Hall has been
leased for several weeks by a patent
medicine company, and they give a
performance in the hall every night.
Consequently, the Republicans secured
Dolan's hall for the Atkinson meeting,
and the Democrats are hopeful that
they will be able to induce the medl-
cine company to give UP the City Hall
for one evening. 1t has been suggested
as a way out Of the difficulty that
Joint debate be arranged between Gov.
Atkinson and Mr.. Blair, and that they
both speak in the same hall.
Hon. John ]. Davis, of Clarksburg,
is also scheduled to make an address
in Marshall county next Saturday
night in behalf OF the Democratic
ticket, and will likely speak in
Moundsville. Congressman Dovener
Is expected to make speech in Ben
wood the first week of November.
The County Commissioner fight in
Marshall county is interesting. The
fact that the present Board, one mem
Der OF which is seeking reelection, is
charged with official misconduct and
malfeasance in Office, is causing a large
detection among htlest and public
spirited Republicans towards the Dem
ocratic candidate, j. W. Dunlevy, Of
Cameron. Mr.. Dunlevy's character is
above the slightest reproach. He is
well known and has the respect of all
citizens Of the county.
Republicans as well as Democrats
confidently predict his election over mis-
Republican opponent, Silas Davis, a
member of the present Board. The
case against Davis will come up in the
Circuit Court on the last day of this
month, and as the time draws near the
Republicans get more anxious in regard
to the outcome. Chairman Mahood, Of
the County Democratic Committee, is
very confident of the election of the
Democratic candidate for County Com
missioner, and says that the Republi-
can vote for the balance of the ticket,
particularly for Congressman, will be
greatly reduced below the usual major
ity.
