Fairmont, Oct, 2o.--This county will
give an unprecedented Democratic ma
jority. Cox will carry the county by
bigger vote than Wilson received, plus
a heavy women's vote drawn in sup
port of the League of Nations. cwina
to the Morgan Montgomery split of the
Republican vote, E<oontz will have a
big plurality. Neely's vote VIII be 8

Martinsburo, Oct. 2O-The Second
District not Only will elect Forest w.
Brown to Congress. but Cox and Foose-
welt also viii carry il With two or three
thousand to spare. The turning to the
Democratic standard bearers in the
last two weeks, owing to Harding's
Scrap the League" stand, is a real
landslide. kcontz will have Z biu
plurality over his two Republican OPP
poncnIs.
Wheeling, Oct. 2o.-Desp,te the
claims of the Republicans, the PAN
handle Industrial section is very favor
able to the election of Cox and Roose.
Welt Senator Hardings labor record
and his "Borahized" stand on the
League of Nations have turned hun
dreds of Republican votes away from
him in each county. Arthur B. Koontz
has the best chance of being elected
Governor, and the Morgan-Mo Montgomery
division of the Republican vote will
add to those chances.
Parkersburg, Oct. 20.-The attempt
Of the local Republican candidates to
petition themselves on the Nonparti-
san League ticket in this county, as
good indication of the Wood county
situation. II is Democratic for both
National and State tickets, as we'll as
local, and will aid materially in elect
ing Arthur B. Koontz Governor and
giving the states electoral vote to
Cox.
Huntington, Oct. 2o.-John L. Con-
nor is the best bet for election to Con-
gress in the Fourth District, according
to information from reliable sources
in the several counties, and the turn
ing from Harding to Cox in the last
ten days looks like a landslide. The
division of the Republican vote be-
tween Morgan and Montgomery will
give the district to koontz by a good
sized plurality.
Williamson, Oct. 20.-This congress
sionaI district-the Fifth-regarded in
times past as Republican as crock
ribbed as Maine" is going to furnish
the surprise of this election in West
Virginia. w. w. McNeal, Of BIuefieId,
has an excellent chance of election to
Congress. Montgomery will give Nor
gan a hot chase for the Republican
vote and koontz will receive a pIur-
ality for Governor. Cox also will run
strong.
CIarksbure, Oct. 20.-The most
frightened politicians in the Third
Congressional District is Congressman
Stuart r. Reed, who is admitted by
many Republicans to be running far
behind Robert r. Kidd, the Democratic
nominee. The industrial vote will give
Cox an advantage over Harding
Montgomery will have an advantage
over Morgan in Harrison county and all
mining sections, but Morgan will get 65
to 20 per cent of the Republican vote
in the rural counties. The district
will give koontz a plurality for Gov
srnor
Charleston, Oct. 20.-With less than
two weeks Of campaigning yet To be
done in West Virginia, the political
