PETERSBURG. VA, Oct 25-From
the interest being manifested, it would
not seem that the congressional election
is but two weeks off The fact that for
the past few years a Democratic nomi-
nation in this district is equivalent to
an election has transferred most of the
interest from the election itself to the
primary. Under the new registration
a vast number of negro voters of the
district are not qualified to vote at this
election. It was doubtless due to the
knowledge of this fact that the Repub-
licans failed to place a candidate in the
field this time. knowing of nothing
better to do they endorsed the candi-.
dacy of Mr.. r. r. Vaughan. the inde-
pendent Democratic candidate. and GER.
tainly if Mr.. Vaughan hopes to make
even a respectable showing at the polls
on election day. his hopes lie in Repub-
aHcan votes but from the dissatisfaction

element, it is doubtful that even from

Hen. r. CT. Southall the Democratic
nominee for Congress, who defeated Con-

primary for the nomination, is carefully
guarding his interests, although he sees
no need Of any special effort. He will
represent this district in Congress for
the next two years. and. doubtless, his

contest and allowed the election to be
unanimous The vote will. probably. be

feel confident that in Mr.. Southall they
will have an able and efiicien Congress
man. who will devote all his energy to
the interest of the people he represents
