1 AMHERST VA, Sept. l1o,-The hottest
political carnpa Ign that has been fought In s&g
any county in Virginia In years will close
in Amherst Saturday night. 1t has ragged Ii
with a fierceness that even this county Of =
political factions and feuds never knew 4
before as most every Office in the cout-
ty that Is filled at a popular cleo ton is to 4
be filled this fall and Democratic candi-$
dates are to be chosen at the primary &

Clarence j. Campbell is the sole issue Il

county, or district Office is Y known as 4 Il
Campbell or anti Cam pbell man and the n
friends or enemies Of the ex-1udge act 3toS.
a man n accordance with! NV ether the
candidate expresses satisfactory views res

"a political contest IN the State for years
In which the personal element was SO aps9

S From what I have heard several voters i
say should not ,be surprised II there arc Il
men the county who do not know that thss
Mann law could be made a ltical is-E

ward the law. nor the attitude OF DIR. n

seems that It has not occurred to any
body to ask 1t. It looks somewhat like
Campbell Is going to he elected. - decided
majority Of the men 7 have seen Will
support Or. Scott, Campbell Is the best
vote Eetter$ in the county. He is 9 hustler:
in everything he undert kes. He Is a. " won-sa
derful mixer: he knows everybody in Y
Amherst. It ] is probable that half the
voters have eaten at his ia BILE, his hos-s h
8pitality Is a proverb: he runs the now
Era county paper published here; he has y
made many friends with that: he IS above =
all great big, generous hearted man

Am terst. He is q fighter that duality \

Campbell claims he will carry Pedlaf
District in tho northwestern part OF the 4
county by q majority Of 400, II he Idoess
that he is elected, said one Of Or. Scott I
loading workers to-day. It is remarkable
fact that Dr., scotts supporters are not
confident, they have seen Judge Camp
bell win SO often in the past decade 1t is a
small wonder they have doubts OF beating
him finally. Mr., Scott Is "a candidate. he 4
Is lacking the political experience that
makes Mr.. Campbell so formidable, but
no Is a man of fine character. who has
many friends who have done much hard
work for him, and will keep at It until
the polls close Saturday night. f}sF
There has been no speaking during the
campaign. But has been a prodlgfous
amount OF house to house canyassing Z
done. The thunder doesn't kill. 1t Is clairn-
ed that every county official Is for Scott
It is even claimed that every district ofl-
cor elected by the people 1s opposed to tns Y
election OF Judge Campbell. A supporter
Of Or, scott's said to-day that the prt.5s
mary machinery was controlled by friends
OF Judge Campbell. Is.
