LAST NIGHTS MEETING

The opening meeting OF the Repub-
hcan campaign in this city at the Car
roll Club auditorium last night indi-
Gated the interest this community
holds in the issues OF the hour. In
spite OF the inclemency OF the wealth

attentive and responsive audience.

logic and arguments of the speakers.
who convicted the Democratic party
Of incapacity to govern and its inef.
fciency in the administration OF the
AFFAIRS OF the nation.
The speakers. the Hon. George e.
White and the Hon. Joseph Holt
Gaines. dealt in no platitudes, but
condemned the delinquencies OF De.
mocracy by the humiliating confes-
sions and admissions of its own party
leaders. The size and the character
OF the audience was a definite assur-
ance that the Republican party of
Ohio county is practically reunited.
and that the First Congressional dis
trict is to be redeemed from its pres.
ent misrepresentation in Congress on
November 3.

playing his usual warm interest In
the affairs OF the Republican party in
his native state. which he SO capably
represents in the national capitol.
United States Senator Nathan Con
has sent assurance TO the congress
ional committee that he will enter
the first district the latter part of the
month In behalf OF Senator George L.
White. the Republican nominee for
congress.
Senator White Is honored with q
warm personal acquaintance with the
known TO his people as the Little
Giant" This fact alone will have
great weight in the fight and when
Senator Con enters the district there
Is no doubt but that he will receive
royal reception upon his every
stop. and great benefit to the popu-
lar Republican congressional nominee
will result.
The dates for Senator Gor's tour
have not as yet been arranged. The
committee Is now In communication
with him and these details will be
closed In the very near future. While
II has not as vet been announced Just
where he will appear. II is probable
that meetings in Wheeling, New Mar
tinsville. Clarksburg. Fairmont. wes-
ton and probably Grafton will be the
principal stops.

Over two months have elapsed and
there has been no Official sign from
Mr.. Nicely that he is on his Job in

cants TO choose from. There was no
occasion for delay in picking out a
qualified man and one entitled TO the
position from the party service point
OF view. Why. then. has he refused
to perform a simple duty?
In his anxiety TO secure his frs,
nomination for Congress. Mr.. Nicely
resorted TO a dicker with a Demo.

as the y. ]. o. Ring" The ring de.

II is generally understood that Con.

POWER OF ASSOCIATION.

The Progressive candidate for Con.

continue his standardization with the
Democratic party without CONTRACTING
some OF its most pernicious habits.
