ENCAMPMENT
FOR CHATTERTON
Will Send Solid Delegation to the coun-
ty Convention in his Interest Views
Of 7. r. Smith, President Of Encamp-
ment Mercantile Company.

"Iou can say that Encamp-
ment and surrounding country is
solid for Chatterton." This was
the declaration of 7. r. Smith. in
answer to the enquiry as to how
the Governor stood in his coun-
try.
Mr.. Smith, the president of the
Encampment Mercantile Compa-
ny, is n of the important men
of Encampment, and what he
ssys goes. He stopped over in
Saratoga, on his way out to the
railroad, bound for New York
City, where he is gone to lay in a
spring stock of goods for his
firm.
Il believe the town of Encamp-
ment is solid for Chatterton, dem
ocrats and republicans alike. You
don't hear anything but good
words for him from all classes of
men, and if he is not nominated
think the republican party will
make a mistake. Brooks was
promised the nomination for gov
ernor when Richards time was
out. 1t seems to me he should
wait until his term expired. let
ting Chatterton serve ont the I'M
expired portion of the term.
"Chatterton is the peoples
choice, and when | say that !
mean both political parties. |
very much doubt whether the
democrats would put up a man
for governor against Chat. If he
is nominated there is no use Tor
any one to run against him, for
he will sweep the state. Brooks
is undoubtedly "A fine man. and
would make a most excellent gov
ernor, but the people want Chat
terton, and if they don't get him
there will be some fun"
