HUTCHINSON IS
GOOD VOTE GETTER
Believes Marion Should
Have Republicans in Re-
publican Legislature.

Brooks S. Hutchinson. Republican
candidate for House of Delegates from
Marion county, is one of the rising
young lawyers of the community and
Is well fitted for the office to which
he aspires. Coming from a well known
and honored Marion county family,
he has left lucrative practice OF his
profession to offer his services to his
party and to the people of the county.
MI Hutchinson Is young man and
has been practicing law In this coun.
ty only since 1912. but he is known
| to practically every voter IN the coun.
ty and is especially popular among
the younger element many OF whom
have attended school with him an !
been his friend since boyhood. He
. Is the son Of Clyde E. Hutchinson and
Is the first of his family that have
ever aspired to a public office.
Mr.. Hutchinson has been making
an able campaign and has been one of
| the active speakers in the county
! school house addresses that have fea.
tured the past two weeks. At each
and every appearance made he has
won over the voters with his sound
arguments and straightforward expo.
sition Of state issues. He plunges into
the midst of his subject and attacks
the misrepresentation of his opponents
fearlessly but in the same sportsman
like manner in which he used 10 at.
tack his opponents in football.
He takes the stand in his arguments
that the minority should be represent
ed in the state house at Charleston
| and that Marion county will profit by
sending Reublicans instead of Demo.
Gratis to the state legislature. He urges
the voters TO think for themselves and
! to support the candidate as a man
rather than as a party representative.
Throughout the county in his cam.
paign Mr. Hutchinson has come into
contact with many OF the better class
of Democrats who have pledged him
their support. He says that many who
have long voted straight Democratic
ticket regardless of the quality Of the
candidates have this year awakened
to conditions in this county. Becom.
Ing disguised they are now planning
to do much scratching Of their tick.
cts next Tuesday.
A graduate of the schools of tho
county and the Fairmont Normal MIR.
Hutchinson attended the state uniyers.
ity at Morgantown receiving his
Bachelors degree. afterward gradual.
Ing In law at Yale University.
He has keen common sense view
OF conditions in the county and state
and has the interests Of Marion coun.
ty at heart. Coupled with this is
the courage Of his convictions while
his record speaks for his ability. A
vote for him is vote for the con.
tinued prosperity OF Marion county.

II 1t had not been for the war the

The European armies will return 10

If these products of cheap Europenn
labor are allowed to come into the
