CONFESSION
THEIR HANDS
1ncumbents iii Three Districts
In This State Have Opposi-
ton in Primary.
PRETTY FIGHT IN FOURTH
Triangular Campaign on There.
Contests Also in the Ninth
and Tenth.

The tine for the congressional contes Is
will be several hot contests on. This Is
notably true of the Fourth, Ninth and
Tenth Districts. The indications now
are that Congressman Jones In the First,
Congressman Maynard in the Second,
Congressman Lamb In the Third, Con-
gressmHn Swanson In the Fifth, Con-
gresham Hay In the Seventh and Rxey
in tic Eighth, will be declared the nom
inecs In their respective districts with
out the fornlality Of primary. Two
years ago MIR. Maynard had considerable
a Eight for his honors. Now, no one is
suggested as an aspirant for the posi-
lions they hold.
In the Fourth District there will be a
very interesting triangular fight. Con-
gresham Robert G. SouthalI now serv-
ing his first term, is In the field for re-
nomination.. Ex-Congressman James
Fletcher Epes, Of Nottoway, Is in the
field for his old seat, and Colonel VIII
liam Z. Cameron, Of Petersburg, editor,
lawyer, Ex-Governor. member Of the Con.
stitltional Convention and a powerful
debater, Is now among the nspirants Mr..
Southall is from Amelia, and VIII proba-
bly, carry that county. Prince Edward
and Iunenburg, and possibly others. Mr.
Epes will probably carry Nottoway and
others. and Colonel Cameron will be
strongest In the eastern end of the dis
trict, embracing Petersburg, Dinwiddie,
Prince George, Grcenesville and Sussex.
Iowliatan and Mecklenburg will be fight
ing tlounds, as will be Brunswick. 1t
Is too early yet to form an idea of the
relative strength Of the three, but Col
onel Cameron Is looked upon always as
a very formidab BILE contestant. Mr.. South
ali has the prestige Of incumbency and
has made good representative. Mr..
Epcs made the fight when the district
was very doubtful.
III the Ninth District, Hon. j. G. wy
sor and ex-Congressman William F.
Rhea will probably fight 1t out at the
polls. There may be others who will
compete for the opportunity of defeat
ing Mr.. Slemp and restoring Virginia S
solid Democratic delegation
In the Tenth District, Congressman
1Tlooe. is being opposed by Captain John
y. C.pie, of Augusta county, now menu
Der OF the State Senate. Congressman
Floods friends say they are not concern
ed as to the result.

Ilcan party and promise to continue the
finances of the country upon sound
