POLITICS AND POLITICIANS
Harry Tucker May Enter the Arena Again
Labor Candidate.

The retirement of ex-ConEressman
Harry St. George Tucker from the head
Of the law school Of the Washington anu
Lee University is creating a great deal
Di talk in political circles, and is thought
by many to mark the re-entry of the
brilliant leader into the political arena.
Mr.. Tucker has from the time he sue
ceeded his distinguished father as Con-
gresham from the Tenth District been
2ne Of the popular idols OF mat section,
and he Is already being looked upon as
a. Congressional probability in the future.
Il is not known that Mr.. Tucker has any
further political aspirations, but his re-
cent moves are certainly creating much
talk among his admirers.
Nhen here the other day Mr.. Tucker.
while in conversation with former con-
stituent, asked concerning the people
n a certain county in the district, and
his bright eyes sparllleo as he said: 81
IAN never forget them; they have always
been my friends 1t is said that Harry
Tuckec came as near Knowing every
yoter in his district as any man who ever
represented a.. In Congress.
A prominent la,rar leader said last
uixl,t that there would be an early move
along the line of putting 81 labor can
eidate in the field for Mayer Of this CITY
at the coming spring, election. He says
It is probable that the matter will come
I'M al the meeting of the Central Trades
and Labor Council next Tuesday night,
and he expects a convention to nomi-
nate candidate to be called by that
body.
The labor candidate will not go in the
Democratic primary, but Will be resu-
larly nominated liz a labor convention.
While no man has been picked out to
make the race. .theges Is q great deal of
talk about Mr.. ". r. TEtsgs and he is
evidently a tavorite with the. labor lead
ers. Politics may take a lively turn
here by election day if things that are
being talked of are done.
