POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
To the Republicans
of Windham County

Sometime ago I told the people of Wndham county,
through the newspapers that would be candidate for
of the senators if lucky enough to the required
number of petitions the blanks the different
the county and they signed and returned to
very promptly enough comply with the primary law
and large number besides
In looking them found they signed by repre-
sentative in all walks of life. wish to take this oppor
tuniy through the newspapers thank all those who soc
tied and those who signed and the justices and noaes who
filled them out without pay should be thanked twice
Now if am placed in nomination the 18th of September
and elected in November, will plan my business that
attend the duties that would fall upon the best of
my ability as have always tried to do in the past.

From a local standpoint and the
standpoint of the players by far the
most important games to win are
those with the normal at Fatrmont n
with Marietta at Marietta. Fatrmont
normal looms up as a real champion
ship contender in West Virginia and in
order to again establish herself, Wes-
leyan must win the game at Fairmont
Wednesday night. Wesleyan teels
keenly the tie game at football with
| Marietta Of last fall and will go onto
the floor at this place to avenge y.
Fairmont Normal, through her VIC
tory over West Virginia, has shown
! co~nclusively that she has a fast nas'
ketball aggregation and all local tans
feel that Wesleyan will have to go az
top speed In order to win from the
Normalites on their own floor.
Marietta has her team OF 1915 prac'
tically intact and in addition mas q
wealth Of new material. Last year \
Wesleyan and Marietta teams split
even in the series OF two games play
| ed, but Wesleyan strongly desires 70
make a clean sweep OF the series this
year and in order to do this a magni
cent battle will have to be put up on
the Marietta floor Friday night. :
