Best Glass For Hubbard.
TITS a positive fact that a canvass
of this city and the country districts
bring out the best evidence, the peo-
pies own word. that the better class
OF men in theb usiness and profess
slonal walks of life are with Congress-
man Hubbard In this fight. In this
city alone OF large number Of busl-
ness and professional men who have
been talked with the sentiment is al
most unanimously for Mr.. Hubbard
and they areE ding to stick to him to
the finish. while out in the agricul-
tural districts the tillers of the soil
have been for him all through the
fight and will continue their present
attitude. ~
r 1t has been n favorite theme of the
opposition that Mr.. Hubbard would not
get the votes OF. miners. oil men and
the employees OF great many OF :the
industrial plants OF the city and coun-
ty. but In this they are sadly mistaken
as they will eventually find out prac.
tically all the voters in the classes
mentioned are not only for. the pres
ent Congressman. but they will con.
tinue with him to the end and In nd-
dition to voting for him will use their
efforts to persuade their friends. II
they have any who, are against him.
to vote the way they Intend to.

majority. AS an Instance OF how the

man in question Is DIR. Charles N. sla.
ter. one OF the, rising and prominent
young physicians of the city. who Is
widely acquainted in the county and
has been doing a great deal Of work
In the Interest of Mr.. Hubbard. Last
night In talking over the situation DIR.
Slater made the remark that he be.
lieved Mr.. Hubbard would have the
largest majority of any man who has
ever been voted for in the district for
years.
People In all sections of the coun-
tE where visit" said DIR. Slater, "are
with Congressman Hubbard and they
are going to stick to him and vote at
the primaries 1t is fact that many.
have been stirred up because of the
attempt that has been made against
