Throughout the county and has made
9. tnost Favorable impression and
many votes. The Republicans chim
their normal majority, but this is bas
ed more upon the fact that the county
usually goes Republican than for any
other reason, but they have failed to
take into account the fine impression
which Mr. Byrd has made in every
precinct. which with the general Re
publican apathy and disatfectio will
reduce tAe majority. This county
Nill not give over 600 Republican
majority, if that much.

while the Democrats confidently
claim and assert that Byrd will car

Pike comty-Hcre the battle has
ragged the hottest. In 1908 Langley
,'suied the county by 1886, but in no
county in the district has there been
such an insurgent Republican move
ment as here. nor have the Democrats
better organization tAan in this
one The Republicans have sent
lere their best speakers and most
prominent men. and the Democrats
have met them at every point and
gone them one better. During the
past week the Democrats have had
Hon. Robert Friend, of Irvine, speak
ing in each precinct in one portion
fthe county, and Hon. +. d. Steph-
enson. Of Pikeville. and ". T. Stat

immense vote will be poIed in thi;
county, and bets are now going beg
siug th2t Langley will not carry it b,
over 800. Some OF the most en-
thusiastic Democrats predict it will
be set oil. The Republicans viii
not say what will be the result. and
appear to be discouraged and down
hearted, while the Democrats are ex-
ultant and iubilant. 1t is safe 10 pre-
diet that Pike will not give over 500
Republican majority.
Powell county-This county is very
close. In 1908 it gave Democratic
majority Of 40, but this year the
Democrats are much better organized
and are enthusiastic. and confident
that Byrd Will cary il by at least
100. Tie Republicans do not seri-
ously dispute this claim. Ii seems to
be conceded on ell sides that Powell
