Zeublon Weaver, ivho has represented this district in Dongresa for the past ten years will ?o down in defeat on November 2nd it the hands of Captain Kenneth Smathers, Republican Nomminee for Congress, is being predicted by Geo. VI. Pritchard, Republican Congressonal Chairman. Mr. Pritchard not only believes , hat Captain Smathers will be elect- , d, but he believes that Captain , Smathers will receive a majority of iver two thousand votes, ana tnat he election will be a repetition of vhat happened when John Grant was sleeted to Congress. Mr. Pritchard lased his prediction upon several hings: First, he says that Congressnan Weaver has absolutely failed M i Congressman; y.hat the 'thinking >eople of this district want to send t Congressman to Washington who vill be recognized and receive some federal aid for this district. Second dr. Pritchard pointed out tht even he Ashevllle Citizen, the Demo:rat!c mounthpiece, had voiced its pproval of the Republican Nominee n an editorial, of which the follown is an extract; 'The Citizen congratulates both he Republican Party and the peo>le of the Tenth District upon the tomination by the Republicans as Congressional Representative of a ;entleman of such high character, .bility, and unimpeachable reputaion as Captain Kenneth Smathera. "The Republican Nominee is of he type which we think would halve ppealed to Theodore Roosevelt, a :lean-lived up-standing tman." Third, that Captain Smathers has ade the most vigorous campaign hat has ever been put up against Veaver. Fourth, that the thinking >eople of this district are convinced hat a Congressman at Washington ..u_ ...in ha In harmnnv with the Ad- ' * UU *? *SS MC 1U H?M ^ ninistration can accomplish more < han has been proven can be accom- I dished by a Congressman who if in 1 ipopsition to the progressive policies ' if the National Administration! 1 Mr. Pichard points out that the lection of Captain Smathers will issure the Federal Building for Vestern North Carolina, which will te located at Asheville, and also ;ost office buildings for many towns 1 nd cities in this district where hey are needed.

Com i !Y WEEK IN THE "N HURSDAY AFTERNOON, I wn As C :\ ; Predkts s Election ?le of District are ird Party Lines will be made a certainty, more National Forests will be established, National Highways will be built, and Federal Aid will be received in many ways by election of Capt Smathers. "Western North Carolina should not be held back by keeping in Congress a Congressman who has proven himself powerless," says Mr. Prltchard. 'Progress Is knocking at our door. We should have a Congressman who will, and can, obtain our share of Federal Aid. There are only four states which pay more Fadera] tax than North Carolina and it stands to reason that we are entitled in nnmn of this money to be re turned to this district The election of Capt. Smathers assures progress ? that's why I believe the thinking people of this district are going to disregard party lines and rote for a Congressman who will be recongnized at Washington." Jh ; . "Congress recently made a large Appropriation for Federal Building, but we hae been Informed that the amount is take care of Asheville and other needed places In this district The same old story? lust another way of saying that Congressman Weaver has failed to get he buildings he has assured. And, t is interesting to note that the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, -eallzing that recognition is what xrnnts at Washington, has adopted i delegation to be headed by our good Republican friend Mark W. Brown to present the Asheville needs ;o the Poet Office and Treasury Departments. Had the Chamber of Commerce thought that Mr. Weaver rnuld obtain the Federal Building lor Asheville that delegation would lot have been appointed.' ' The election of Capt. Smathers to Congress means progress for West;rn North Carolina because he will ie recognized at Washington and ivill have the support of the Admin stration. To vote for him is to rote for Progress.

WEAVER HAS FINE RECORD Has Served This District Faithfully For Years In his campign for re-election Congressman Zebulon Weaver Is being combatted by his own popularity in the District. The majorities that have been given him tor the last several elections would go a long way to prove that he is one of the best loved Congressmen the 10th District has ever had. and in fact since he first took his seat in the House of Representatives his majority has climbed from a meager plurality of over nine thousand, which he received in the elections of 1922, and 1924. For this reason it is understood that his friends are somewhat apprehensive for they fear that it will be believed that such a large vote will be polled it will not be necessary for them to go to the ballot box on November 2nd. Reports would indicate that Mr. Weaver .is making an active campaign all over the District in the hope of carrying several Counties that have frequently giv4n Republican majorities. After making a whirlwind campaign in Transylvania and Henderson Counties Cogressman Weaver will speak in the the Western Counties of the District. He spoke Monday at HayesI ville. Tuesday at 1:30 he spoke at Murphy and at~V:30 on the same day he spoke at Bryson City. Wednesday at 3:30 he spoke at Franklin anj at Otto on the same day at 7:30. Thusday at- 2:00 he will speak at Cowee in Macon County, and on Friday night he will address a Haywood County Rally to be held in the Theatre Building at Canton at 7:30, which will wind up his campaign. Mr. Weaver in his speeches is reported as having denied that the Republican Administration has instituted startling economies since they took over the reins of government, and that as a matter of fact the Republican Administration appropriated |4,201,000,000, more for 1935, 1926 and 1927, than the Democratic Administration under Woodmw Wilson anDroDriated for 1914, ? m-m- " ^ 1915, and 1916 exclusive of all appropriations made necessary by tbe war. Also he is reported to have stated in regard to Mr. Coolidge's personal economy in the operation of the Executive Office and the Whiite House that under Woodrow Wilson their upkeep had amounted to$197,000, but that in 1926 under Coolidge this had increased to $483,000, or an increase ?f nearly 150 per cent In answering charges of his opponent that be had not obtained appropriations for Federal Buildings and for other purposes, Mr. Weaver is quoted as having declare^ that there had not been a post office building built in the United States before 1914 that was not under construction prior to that date, date, and that an appropriation had just been passed, the first since the war, to take care of this situation. Mr. Weaver is understood to have added however that he did not like put the matter on a dollar basis; that to do so was to seriously misconceive the duties of a Congressman, and that if every member of A K. nlflrtlnH nn n UOllglCSB 8UUU1U uy viwvhvu v? ~ platform based upon the views of Mr. Smathers it would not have been possible to have made the tax reduction last year, and that it would be further necessary to place again upon the people the execise and nuisance taxes to take care of the demands that would be made upon the Treasury if it should be tapped for eveything in sight In bis same speech Weaver is quoted as having stated that probab't if f - ? ly there was not a single District in the United States that has more Federal activities than the 10th North Carolina District, which had a permanent govermental hospital at Oteen, a Forestry Experiment Station thousands of acres that had been set aside for national forests, (Continued on lAst Page) .
