full Trend Toward WiIlkie
WILLKIE TRAIN PAUSES

With the trend toward Wen
dell Willkie growing by leaps and
bounds during the last few days
of the campaign, Republican
workers throughout the county
prepared to make a final drive
here along with workers thru
out the entire country, in an at
tempt to repudiate Mr.. Roose-
welt, the third term candidate,
at the polls next Tuesday.
Mr.. Willkie entered Maryland
yesterday for the first time dur
ing the campaign and was met
everywhere by cheering thous-
ands that eliminated last night
in a meeting in Baltimore.
Train Pauses Here
WILKES train passed through
Oakland at 1:10 and he and Mrs.
Willkie stood on the rear platform as
it slowly moved through the town.
When the word came about noon that
the train would barely move through
Oakland, the news was quickly spread
and it ITO there were 1000 or more
people at the station to greet him. He
was cheered as he went through and
the town and also the Young Republi-
can Club of Oakland presented Mrs.
Willkie with bouquets of chrysanthe-
NUNS and red roses.
At Cumberland his train paused
briefly and he spoke to about 10000
there on the unifcation of labor, in
dustry, and agriculture. Willkie was
introduced by Walter P. johnson, Con-
gressional candidate.
A huge crowd heard WILKES speech
at Baltimore where he cited the broken
promises of the New Deal and Presi-
dent Roosevelt. julius C. Renninger,
chairman of the Republican committee
here, boarded the Willkie train at
Cumberland and rode to Baltimore,
while the Young Republican club was
represented also at Baltimore by Lewis
Jones, chairman, Mrs. Jones and Mr..
and Mrs. Francis Sanders.
County Rallies Continue
Meanwhile the rallies throughout
the county have continued. Last night
Neil C. Fraley, E. Ray Jones, Mrs.
VERNE Smouse and Mrs. George Hanst
spoke at Accident, while on Monday
and Tuesday nights meetings were
held at Sang Run and Red House.
Tonight's meeting is in Friendsville,
while tomorrow the group will go to
Grantsville. Col. George Henderson,
Cumberland, will be the chief speaker
at Grantsville. Meetings are scheduled
at Bittinger and White Church Oh
Saturday night while the final meet
ing will be held at Crellin on Monday
night.
During these meetings the speakers
have been pointing out to the people
the danger of third term and other
reasons why the New Deal should not
be allowed to continue.
Newspapers all over the country are
showing the trend toward the election
of Mr.. Willkie and his uphill fight to
GUST the New Deal. 1t is felt here that
Garrett county will give a substantial
Republican majority in an effort to
swing the state to the Republican
column.
