Hubbard VIII Win
In Harrison County

-
many instances they have deserted
from the ranks OF the opposition and
hnve gone over to the side which is
supporting the Hubbard cause.
Laboring Classes With Him.
In spite of the frantic work that has
been done by the opposition in this
county they have been unable to make
any serious headway as far as can be
'ascertainetl. In any district or among
any class and there. is really but one
way In which they can hope to win
out and that is by pure fraud In the
city of Clarksbnrg. to which they will
hardly resort. There has been a; great.
deal Of talk to the effect that hundreds
Of floaters have been brought in here
and are being colonizra IN some of the
words and that they are to be used at
the primary election on Monday to de-
feat Mr.. Hubbard.
There has also been n great deal OF
talk that Il majority OF the laborins
people OF the county are against Mr..
Hubbard. and reports have been Cir
culated that he had W-vrKed against the
interests of this class of people. but
there is absolutely no truth in eithar
OF the statements. Mr.. Hubbard is a
farorite with the laborinE classes bc-
cause they know that he has done cv-
erythinE for them within his power
and they also know further that lie
VIII continue to do so MS long as he
occupies his seat In congress. and they
know that even before he was elected
to congress he was always willing and
anxious to be of service to them. His
action alone In regard to the nlne-houri
law which recently went into effect ON
the railroads. which he practically
fought through the house, and on the
amendment Of Senator Clapp which
provides the extension OF the pass priv
ilege to the railroad men and their
families which he hal reported favorn-
bly, from the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce. of which he is
n member. shows that he has done
hard and effective work for this class
of his constituents since he has been a
member of the house of representa-
tfves.
Many Are Working Quietly.
While 1t is tnct that large ma.
tority of the laboring class are out In |
the open and working strongly for Mr..
there is also class which
is working quietly and doing every
thing they can for him. 1t will be !
big surprise to the opposition to learn
that some of their most trusted peopIe
are not with them In this fight, but |
are for Mr.. Hubbard. although. osten.
sibly. they are putting In their time i
talking in favor OF the opposition can.
didate. This Is fact and some OF !.
this class have come out in plain Ian. |
guaget and said that they were for Mr..
but that on account OF their
business affiliations or because they
must needs take care OF their position /
1t was not possible for them to do any
thing In the work OF hustllng for the
vote. /
1t is believed that the primary on
Monday will show, the largest vote ever
cast by the Republicans in this coun-
ty and there are conservative men
who actually believe and are willing to
10y wager that Mr.. Hubbard will 60
out Of this county with better than
700 majority to his credit. 1t is the
quiet people who are going to make
this possible and they are going toI
the polls at the primary on Monday
and cast their vote for the man who
has done things in congress and who,
they believe. is entitled to the; seat he
now occupies for at least ganoth ther term !,
if not several more. /.
