Austin kinsey. assistant secretary at
the headquarters OF the Democratic State
Committee. returned yesterday from his
home in Carrollton. where he vent TO at
tend the Folk meeting last Saturday Il.
was the best meeting imaginable" he
said. The crowds were there, everybody
liked Mr.. Folk. speech and there f. ab-
solutcly no doubt about our carrying the
county.
Alex. Trotter. president Of the Carroll
ton Exchange Bank. sat upon the Plat
form and told everyone that he intended
TO vote for Folk and TO induce ever, one
whom he could 70 do the same thing. NJ.
Trotter is one of the strongest Rep1b-
licans in the county. and his worC: gol< a

every point was large. and the Democrats
enthusiastic. The organization Of the party
in the close cocnties is being perfected
rapidly, and IN the close counties visited
by the Governor the Democrats have nom
mated local tickets Of unusual strength
and popularity.
In the heavy Democratic counties the
efforts Of the Democratic managers are d.
rectR largely TO prevent any "stay-at-
home" vote on election day. Reports from
the counties. visited by the Governor last
week. and from others In the State. show
that the soreness which existed in some
localities growing out of the contest for
Governor. already has substantially disap-
peared- and the outlook promises an old
time Democratic majority.
Governor Dockery makes campaign
along lines which takes nothing for grant
