paign for the Legislature. lie was
assured OF the support of the people
whom he met. Mr.. Baber's candi-
dacy is highly endorsed by the
County Committee. Some of his
private and personal views on GER
tain questions are not exactly I'm full
accord with the views held hereto
fore by some leading Democrats, but
these questions are not now issues in
the campaign, and Will be waived
as unimportant, and the candidate
given hearty support.
Mr.. Baber, as stated In His an
nouncement, is Democrat, and
stands squarely on the main ques-
tions before the people, with Judge
Mann and the other Democratic can
didates He says he is n local OPP
ZIONIST, and on all questions will be
governed by the wishes and opinions
OF the majority of his constituency.
He is thoroughly honest, con-
scientious man, and will do what he
believes TO be right He can he
counted on 10 be true To his princi-
pies. For years he has been in bus
iness in Pocahontas, and has now,
and has always had, the respect of
the people.
Mr.. BabeI will get large vote.
He ought TO he elected. He would
make n representative of whom his
district and the State would be
proud. He knows the needs of his
district, and If elected, as he should
be, he will not only be able To find
a remedy for these needs, but will
have the ear and sympathy of the
lawmakers OF the State. Let every
body rally To Mr.. Baber's support,
and elect him.
