OYAMA, Japan - With Japanese national flags in their hands and wearing headbands that read ''victory,'' supporters of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party headed by Prime Minister Taro Aso listen to his stump speech in Oyama, Tochigi Prefecture, on Aug. 29, the last day of campaigning for the Aug. 30 House of Representatives election.
