Mr. Giasscock was highly gratified
ut the enthusiastic ovation rendered

meeting and the interest displayed
by his auditors being beyond expec-
tation. as the Democratic press bu-
reau has been claiming o clean sweep
for the Democratic ticket in Lewis
county Right here in Mr.. BENEFITS
home town the Republicans are
strongly organized and working to-:
gethcr as n unit for the success of
the Republican ticket.
While Mr.. BENEFITS managers are
hoping. Lewis county will give the
Democratic candidate compliment
taryivote. present Indications are that
he will be cut heavily, principally on
account OF his record OF tax payer
OF this and adjoining counties. Be-
fore the publication OF the figures
showing the difference between the
value of land as estimated for assess

Mr.. Bennett was strong throughout

er of Lewis county has undergone
change and has decided to support

III now the Republican party presents
q much stronger front than four
years ago., AT every point visited by

TO be the concensus of opinion of all
the party leaders that both national

Looks Good In Ul,shur.
In Upshur county. where the Glass
cock party spent Sunday, Monday
morning and part of the afternoon,
prospects are indeed encouraging. A
majority of at least 1000, equal to
the majority given Roosevelt four
years ago. is estimated by the county
leaders for national and state tick
cts. Indications point to a heavy cut
In the Democratic vote and corre-
spending Increase in the Republican
vote. as a number OF Upshur Repub-
'cans are signifying their intention
TO vote the ticket straight, from Taft
down. in one large family ten voters

cratic party.

change in the tax system that every
member of the party is making 1T his
