CANDIDATES FOR
CONGRESS SPEAK
Congressman w. A. Oidfield and
Walter Wells Discuss National
Political Issues Here

Congressman w. A. Oldfeld and
w. A. Wells, his Republican op-
ponent, addressed the voters here
Tuesday night.
They discussed national political
issues and were given close at
tention. They are making a cam
vass of the district to get the
voters aroused in order to get out
a full vote in the election on the
5th of November. Mr.. Wells has
no hope of being elected, but he
enters into the discussion with as
much ardor as if he thought he
were actually running neck-and-
neck with Mr.. Oldfield. But the
district is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic and has never had a more
popular congressman than Mr..
Oldfeld, so it is safe prediction
that his majority on the 5th of
November will be one of the
largest ever given a congressman
in this district.
