LIVELY CONTESTS AT THE NEXT
PRIMARY ELECTIONIN RICHMOND

term At the next election MIR. smith
ran against young Epps and was beaten.
AS already stated, however. Ar. smith
was successful in 1900.
Squire "Lonnie'' Graves has recently en-
tered the race and he promises to make
it lively for the others. He Is widely
and popularity known Throughout the city
and prcsides over the Police Court our
ing Justice Johns absence.
Each OF these gentlemen has many
friends already at work for him. The
City Sergeant has a number of deputies
to appoint and the office is generally look
cd upon as one Of the most lucrative IN
tho city. It is presumed tina Mr.. Smith,
if successful, reappoint his present dePu-
ties There are quite a number who
hope TO get positions should Mr., Epps
win out and they are as actively at work
as the candidate for the sergeantcy.
OTHER CONTESTS:
Sheriff John T. Hughes has a strong
opponent i'll Mr.. John L. Epps, who began
his canvass more than year ago, MT.
Epps declined to run for the House or
Delegates again because he did not wish
to appear so often before the people ask
ing for their votes. Mr.. Hughes has been
the incumbent of the office for a plumber
of years. having succeeded the late sMr.
D. S. Gates.
D. c. Richardson would not have oqposl-
ton. No one has opposed him since ne
was first elected. The fact is he IS
generally looked upon as a man that
coed not be beaten for this position. He
has made an admirable officer.
AS far as is known now no one viii OPP
pose Commissioner of the Revenue Q. a
Hawkins. He came within a few votes
nearly four years ago of defeating Mr..
r. B. Munford. who had LONG filled the
Office. When Mr.. Munford died the Cam
Gil elected Mr.. Hawkins to succeed him.
The new commissioner retained all Of
Mr.. Munforo"s deputies and they VIII
seek to secure his election Tor the run
term.
No one has come out against High Con-
stable E. c. Garrison or City Collector
Frank w. Cunningham. who have always
been able to easily defeat those who os-
posed them
There arc q great many offices that the
Council will have to FILL but yet there are
no candidates out against the incumbents
of the various positions. 1t is reported,
however, there may be opposition to Two
or three Of the officials.

No Opposition.
POSITIONS TO BE FILLED BY COUNCIL
Written for The Sunday Times.

Mr.. Mccarthy will. it would appear, ae-
Tocatc many reforms in the city govern
mont. He is man OF ideas. and has the
faculty OF expressing them very clearly
ana forcibly either in speech or upon
paper.
Mayor Taylor has been the incumbent
CT the office of the chief executive of
the city ever since Mr.. Ellyson vacated
the position. He has three times had OPP
position. but each time easily won out.
He is bold, fearless and courageous when
it comes to expressing his views. There
is perhaps, no man in the city who has
a stronger or larger personal following.
Mayor Taylor is not SO accomplished a
writer as Mr.. Mccarthy, but on the
stump, in a rough, roll and tumble de-
i,ate, he would be amply able to take care
OF himself.
CITY SERGEANT.
There will be almost as much interest
in the contest over the Office OF city SER
geant as over that of Mayor. Former
Sergeant II Claiborne Eprs is in the
race against Mr.. James c. Smith, who
defeated him by small majority at the
last election. Mr.. Smith has been a can
didate for this Office at every election
held from 1856 to the present time IN
that year he was elected sergeant and
filled the office at the time of the execu-
ton of Cluverius. He was defeated of the
partys nomination two years later by
Mr.. Carter. Later on Mr.. Smith and
the late Captain Charles Fl. Epps had
several lively races and the latter al
ways won out. When Captain Epps died
his son, Claiborne; was chosen by the
City Council TO fill out the uneXpireo
