With everything else, rugs have
taken a wonderful upward climb.
Nearly every day the merchants
receive notice OF another advance
in the price OF carpets and rugs,
then have to mark their goods ac-
cording. y We were fortunate in
our buying and still have about
fifty rugs left which we can sell
at before the war" prices. These

ROBINSON STRONG IN
SOUTHERN SECTION
With Hundreds of Democrats
There Out and Out for
Him Now.

WINFIELD, Oct. 23.-Judge Ira e.
Robinson, Republican nominee for
governor, opened the eighth week of
his campaign here this afternoon by
addressing large crowd Of voters.
Within the last two weeks there has
been most percepttble rise in the
stock of the Republican candidate.
The judge has spent the last ten days
in the southern end of the state and
while here has received such assur-
ances from party leaders and the
rank and file as would leave no doubt
Of Republican victory in this end Of
the commonwealth. The northern
end of the sttae has never been re-
garded as other than safely Republi-
can by the usual majority for the en-
tire ticket.
Since Judge Robinson's meeting at
Huntington last week when he defied
the small coterie of men, who, as
representative of special interest, are
opposing him, and challenged them to
open combat, hundreds of Democrats
have nocked to his standard and de-
clared that they will support him be-
