 TURNING ID WILSON G. 0.P. Candidate for Representa- tive Doesn't Like Hughes Attacks DEMOCRATS EXPECT SUCCESS

Local Followers O1 WnsoH Hioo P;ainville Will Go Democratic Simpson Hopes for Personal Suc- cess-Order for Ballots Cancelled.
 That there is a strong possibility that the followers of Wilson will carry Plainville at the November election is now claimed by democratic leaders and while the republicans will not admit that there is any ikel1- hood that their candidates will face defeat here they confess that there is a strong and growing sentiment in the town for the reelection of the president and unless the signs fail many of the mem bers of the G. Q. P will register their disapproval of Hughes although they may split in favor of state and local candidates.
 One of the towns most prominent democrats said today that during the past two weeks numerous republicans have signified their intention of en- dorsing the president and the former progressives practically to man, have declared that they will cast their votes for Wilson, refusing to follow their former leader. The democrats are jubilant over the out look and they predict that the town will desert republicanism, giving majority for the administration.
 William J. Simpson, republican candidates for representative, is among the leaders of the G. 0. F. who realizes that the tide IS turning towards Wilson. With chara cterist1c frankness, MT. Simpson said this morning that the outlook for the democrats in the country and state as we'll looks bright. He stated that in Plainville he knows republicans who are going to support Wilson but he has hopes that the town will re- turn majority for the G. 0. r. nom inee. MT. Simpson, with many other republicans in this section, does not believe that the campaign of Hughes and Roosevelt has been the success which had been predicted when the former supreme court justice was nominated Their attacks on the president have been unwarranted, he declares, and may serve as a boom- erang on election day. 'WilsOn has been president for four years" MT. Simpson said," and he is entitled to some respect as the nations chief executive"
 MT. Simpson has many loyal friends in the town who are no doubt anxious to send him to the general assem- bly,. His frankness in discussing the po- litical situation and his outspokenness against the Hughes style of attack should not hurt his candidacy with fair-minded men. Tn fact 1t Is like ly that it will attract the votes of independents and will bring him de- serving support. Although he is a republican and one of the party's nominees for office, MT. Simpson seemingly stands ready to treat his opponents with due courtesy and his attitude should add to his strength at the polls on election day.
