Brought here dileatly ~ visitors, would
seen to Indicate that the chances of Nr.
Hume are becoming less day by day,
and he will be defeated by much
larger majority than was anticipated l.
be persists in remaining in.such hope
less race. There hes been too much Re-
publican endorsement OF Mr. Hume in
the arst place to warrant many OF his
Democratic friends in voting for him Oh

quency win which so-called straight Be-
publican candidates pop up il the dis
trict is believed to mean that tde Ae-
publicans working the scheme are try

The statements freely made here by
both Democrats and Republicans that
Frank hume is too good a man TO much

basis for the statement, it has been whis-
pered around that Mr.. Hume will pro-
baby withdraw from the race and put
an end to the peculiar methods that are
being used by some Of the men in the
district, who have their eyes and mouths
vide open for any iaYors that be may
throw IN their way.

nominee Of the Democratic parry. Men
who at first said they would not support
General Lee are reported to be rapidly
Wheeling into line.
