MRS. BROWN MAY
BE HERE TODAY
Reports Say She Will Arrive
About 3 O'Clock From
Harrison County.
Rv THE WATcHMAN

Mrs Izetta Jewell Brown OF
Eingwood, candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for United
States senator against Maj. NJ. NJ.
Nelly in the primaries on August
i, will be visitor in F'alrmont
some time today according to word
drifting in from Clarksburg. Just
how long the candidate will be IN
the city and with whom she Will
confer while here has not been an
nounced. The report from Clarks-
burg said that she was due there
early this morning, and that she
would leave for Fairmont ABOUT
noon, following a conference with
leaders in the C1arksburg section
this m orning.
It is possible that Mrs. Brown
may call on Major Neely while
here, and while it is hardly likely
that she will ask his support in the
race, she might possibly make
formal and personal request in re
gard to the alleged series of de-
bates she is anxious to have with
the Marion County orator. 1t IS
said that Major Nicely will not be
in town until o'clock this evening
so if Mrs. Brown desires to see MIN
she will at least have to remain in
the city that long.
Another conjecture today con
corning the visit of Mrs. Brown is
to the effect that she is coming
over to see C-E. CtNed") Smith in
regard to his sudden resignation
from the race as a candidate tor
the House OF Delegates from Ma
rion County. Mr.. Smith unh1tched
himself this morning from the poll
teal band wagon with the follow
ing notice in his own newspaper.
Being under the impression last
Saturday that the lists would close
without a full Dem ocratic ticket
for the House of Delegates, and be-
ing DESTROYS that the party sh ould
have sufficient representation IN
the primaries, Titled notice OF my
candidacy.
Later I read where a number
Of very worthy Democrats, with
the same party interest at heart,
he'd done likewise
And now, wishing SO far as
possible to avoid any contest
among the Democrats during the
primary campaign, / am pleased
to announce my withdrawal from
the race.
Might Withdraw.
It was rumored among the poll
ticians on the street corners TO-DAY
that perhaps Mr.. Smith had be.
come so imbued with the spirit OF
party, harmony that he had lnVlt-
ed Mrs Brown over today to DIS
cuss the matter of having her
withdraw and leave the field free
to Major Nicely, thus making tor
PARTY harmony and ccnteStless
NJaior Naalv. OF
course, in the race first and is not
entitled to withdraw, as is Mrs.
Brown. Just how the proposition
would set with the Watson or
cauization is not known, but 1t
might go down we'll
A third suggestion as to Mrs.
Browns visit was that perhaps
she was coming over to ask Glenn
Shaver, "the big little man" of
the Watsonian Democracy, If all
was we'll on the housetops OF
politics. Glenn Shaver is said to
be the original political watch
man.
H. G. Ogden of Wheeling, can
didate for the Republican nomlna-
ton for United States senator, is
making great headway in al parts
of the state, according to the best
available information, He was
at Grafton last night. where he
addressed large number of Tay-
lor County voters. Tonight he is
booked for an address in Clarks-
burg.
All the candidates are said to
be taking advantage of the cool
wave to put on little extra work
and extra visits here and there
While the weather is cool they
can stand a faster pace than when
the mercury is hitting up in the
nineties-
