VI -sVNN ONti 1tOfkt NTeSS. the Dtln-
ocratic candidate for reelection. was
the statement made last night. backed
up by the offer TO bet large sum OF
money that his prediction will be full
filled by the result OF the election.
White a Sure Winner.
White Is a certain winner" said
Congressional Committeeman Geo. W.
Otto yesterday. in speaking of the
candidacy of State Senator George f.
White. OF Weston. who aspires to
represent the First district in Con-
gTess.
After a careful study OF the re-
ports OF all precinct captains in the
district, | predict a general Repuhli-
can landslide" DIR. Otto said. White
will be elected by a handsome plural
fly.
He will carry Hancock county by
$50 votes. and Brooke county by at
least 500. A conservative estimate OF
his plurality in Ohio county is 100
totes. | believe. and Marshall county
is certain TO go in his favor b. 500
votes. His home county OF Lewis will
pile up a plurality of 800 in his favor.
Granting the Democrats their claims
that Nicely will carry Marion county
by 200 votes and Harrison county by
500. with Wetzel giving him 1000.
White will be elected by a neat mar
gin. and I will not be surprised to-
see his plurality run more than 1000.
Harmer. the Bull Moose candidate.
will receive less than 1000 votes in
the entire district iie will run a poor
fourth. with the Socialist candidate
third in the Congressional race"
