THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET

The Republican legislative ticket in
Ohio county represents a fine combi-
nation OF character. ability and expert
ence. Captain w. T. Otto and Hon.
Harry Weiss, have served three terms
and four terms respectively In the
House of Delegates. They have become
two Of the most influential and valuable
members OF that body. and at Charles
ton next Winter they will certainly be
able TO exercise a very strong influence
in behalf OF those things which are OF
value TO the citizenship OF Ohio
county. Mr.. Wright Hugus, the legal
member Of the quartet. Is a member OF
one Of the oldest and best known fam
lilies Of Ohio county. q lawyer Of splen-
did training and Is altogether we'll
equipped TO take an active part In
legislative work. Mr.. Milton McCol-
loch. the farmer candidate. is also a
member Of a well-known and prominent
family. a citizen Of high character and
splendid ability. 1t goes without say
ing thai these four gentlemen will be
elected and will represent Ohio county
in tho legislative sessions of next Win
ter. The Intelligenccr believes II will
prove to be ono OF the strongest and in
fiuential delegations in that body.
