GENERAL AND PERSONAL
Evening Star Bureau,
No. so King street
(Bell telephone No. 1860,

delegate to the Virginia legislature from
Alexandria city and county, left for Rich
mond yesterday afternoon to get ready for
the opening of the legislature Wednesday
next. Mr.. Barley has begun active can
vass for the judgeship of Alexandria and
Fairfax counties against Judge James NJ.
Love, the incumbent, who was appointed
by Gov. O'Ferrall to fill the unexpired term
of the late Judge D. NJ Chichester. AL
though it is said that Mr.. Barley will make
strong fight for the position, it is believed
that Judge Love, in view of his long ex-
perience at the bar and the fact that he is
the apparent choice of the people of both
counties over the courts Of which he is to
preside, will be elected by large major
ity. Judge Love has the Endorsement of the
bar of Fairfax county and a majority OF
the Alexandra county bar.
Many citizens of Alexandria city who
have always held Mr.. Barley in high regard
regret to learn from an article published liz
morning paper that he has moved his
residence from Alexandria city to the coun-
ty. AS an Alexandrian he has always beer
a useful citizen, and the people regret to
learn that he will in future sever the con-
nection.
A citizen of Alexandria county told The
Star reporter this morning that petition
containing the names of more than 200 of
Alexandria county's best citizens, who
heartily indorse the candidacy of Judge
Love. has been handed to Mr.. ]. E. Willard
of Fairfax county to be used before the
legislature when the election comes up.
The fact that Mr.. Barley did not come
out openly against the resumption of such
racing as was carried on in Alexandria
county previous to the last session Of the
legislature in a recent interview, 1t Is
thought, will be of decided disadvantage
to him. What the people of Alexandra
county say they want is a judge who will
10 forvr, If loo tn no "
tent. Representative Barley says, how
ever. that he will abide by the wishes
of his constituents in the matter should
it come up for action at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature.
Mr.. Joseph E. Willard, member Of the
house of delegates for Fairfax county, is
in Richmond, and will handle Judge Love s
canvass. Mr.. r. Walton Moore OF Fairfax
in Virginia as any young politician. Is also
an ardent advocate Of the cleo ton OF Judge
Love. The term Of the incumbent does not
expire until next November.
