PRITCHARD PREDICTS SMATHERS ELECTION Says Thinking People of Dis trict are Going to Disre gard Party Lines. That the Hon. Zebulon Weaver, who has represented this district in Congress for the past ten years will go down in defeat on November 2, at the hands of Captain Kenneth Smathers, Republican Nominee for Congress, is being predicted by Geo. M. Pritchard, Republican Congress ional Chairman. Mr. Pritchard not only believes that Captain Smathers will be elect- Smathers will receive a majority of ed, but he believes that Captain over two thousand votes, and that the election will be a repetition of what happened when John Grant was elected to Congress. Mr. Pritchard based his prediction upon several things: First, he says that Congress man Weaver has absolutely failed as a Congressman; that the thinking people of this district want to send a Congressman to Washington who will be recognized and receive some Fed eral aid for this district. Second, Mr. Pritchard pointed out that even The Asheville Citizen, the Demo cratic mouthpiece, had voiced its ap proval of the Republican Nominee in ■ an editorial, of which the following is an extract: 1 "The Citizen congratulates both the Republican Party and the people of the Tenth District upon the nom ination by the Republicans as Con gressional Representative of a gen tleman of such high character, abil ity, and unimpeachable reputation as Captain Kenneth Smathers. "The Republican Nominee is of the type which we think would have appealed to Theodore Roosevelt, a clean-lived up-standing man. . Third, that Captain Smathers has made the most vigorous campaign that has ever been put against Mr. Weaver. Fourth, that the thinking people of this district are convinced that a Congressman at Washington who will be in harmony with the Ad ministration can accomplish more than has been proven can be accom plished by a Congressman who is in opposition to the progressive policies of the National Administration. Mr. Pritchard points out that the election of Captain Smathers will as sure the Federal Building for West ern North Carolina, which will be located at Asheville, and also post- office buildings for many towns and cities in this district where they "are needed. The National Park will be made a certainty, more National For ests will be established, National Highways will be built, and Federal Aid will be received in many ways by election of Captain Smathers. "Western North Carolina should not be held back by keeping in Con gress a Congressman who has proven himself pqwerless," says Mr. Pritch ard. "Progress is knocking at our door. We should have a Congress man who will, and can, obtain our share of Federal Aid. There are on ly four states which pay more Fed eral tax than North Carolina and it stands to reason that we are entitled to some of this money to be return ed to this district. The election of Captain Smathers assures progress— that's why I believe the thinking peo ple of this district are going to dis regard the party lines and vote for a Congressman who will be recognized at Washington. "Congress recently made a large Appropriation for Federal Building, but we have been informed that the amount is inadequate to take care of Asheville and other needed places in this district. The same old story— just another way of saying that Con gressman Weaver has failed to get the buildings he has assured. And it is interesting to note that the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, realizing that recognition is what counts at Washington, has adopted a delegation to be headed by our good Republican friend Mark W. Brown to present the Asheville needs to the Postoffice and Treasury De partments. Had the Chamber of Commerce thought that Mr. Weaver could obtain the Federal Building for Asheville that delegation would not have been appointed." The election of Capt. Smathers to Congress means progress for West ern North Carolina because' he will be recognized at Washington and will have the support of the Admin istration. To vote for him is to vote for progress. —Political Adv.— A real bargain opportunity that comes only once in a life time at the Fair Store. . MOVIE PROGRAM OCT. 28TH to NOV. 3RD, INC.

When any district demands the issuance of such bonds neither board can justly refuse the right of any district to bond itself. PLATO GETTYS MRS. C. B. WISEMAN W. W.
