with conditions. will not carry his
own county, or even reduce the nor.
NAL Republican majority. Bennett,
in his home town and county, is a
most unpopular man. He will lose
hundreds of Democratic votes in this
section because Of his unpopular per.
sonality. But aside from personal
reasons his opposition to the new tax
laws, and the we'll founded suspicion
that he is the candidate Of the corpo-
rations who are seeking lowering
of property assessments for taxation
and of the brewery interests. have
operated seriously against his candt.
dacy here. Bennett is large land
owner and appeared before The coan.

might the assessment paced upon
his estate and then and there spoke
against the new tax system vigorously.
He has never retreated from that pr
sition, and in his speeches to-day Is
assai1ing the justice and equity Of
these laws.
Mr.. Bennett is regarded here as a
representative of class. He is looked
upon as an aristocrat He is not IN
touch with the people here nor is his
family. They spend their winters in
the eastern cities ami reside here only
in the few pleasant months OF the
year. He will not receive his party
vote In his home. town or home couu.

behind his ticket by reason Of the
fact that he is personally unpopular
with his nelghbors.

ROMEO H. FREER,
Harrtsyllle, W. Va.
The people Of West Virginia should
elect Hon. w. E. Glasscock Governor
for tho following reasons:
LIST. Because he is amply qualified
by education and experience for the
position; morally and politically
sound, and is the very imbodiment Of
tina trre independent American man.
hood that bides not the dictaticn Of
any man or set of men, but has the
courage and the will TO do the right
as he may see the right,
Cd. because he is resigning the po.
sition of internal revenue collector he
sacrificed a position wherein the emol,
uments were as great and the duties
less arduous than that Of Governor,
and only for the patriotic reason that
he loved his state and party, AMI,
hoping thereby to cement and heal the
factions in the party.
Sd. Because he came from the COM
mon people and is therefore one OF
them, and il elected will be their Gov.

now sweeping the country. And Il
there be any disease or ills in our
body polite, they will be thoroughly

he is one Of those true, honest, well.
