Political Situation Lively.

The political situation has un-
dergone several changes since our
last issue, and is now in a very
lively state.
Mr.. ChaS. NJ. BrOun, the well
known lawyer, has announced his
candidacy for the position of Com
monwealth's Attorney for Clarke
county, to succeed Mr.. William
Travers Lewis. Mr.. Lewis is a
candidate for reelection, and one
of the most interesting and holly
contested campaigns ever made in
the County will undoubtedly in
result.
lhe announcement cards Of Mr..
Lewis and Mr.. Broun appear in
this issue of the COURIER.
An article in yesterdays Win
chester Star stated that Sheriff w.
w Smallwood will be opposed for
reelection by Mr.. l.. VI. Welton.
of Boyce.
The COURIER endeavOred to YER
ify this report this morning. but
as the telephone lines we're not in
working order it was impossible to
get Mr.. Welton on the line. The
editor of the COURIER had a con-
versation with Mr.. Welton a few
days ago, upon general topics. and
he made no mention of his proposed
candidacy. \ gentleman from the
Boyce neighborhood stated this
morning that he believed the report
of Mr.. Welton's candidacy was
erroneous, although he had no
positive knowledge concerning it.
The contest between Mr.. John
X. Castleman and Mr.. j. f. Bar
nett for the SupervisOrship of Bat
tletown district, and the contest
between Mr.. II. +. Boyer and Mr..
Ihos. d. Gold, for the Supervisor
ship of Longmarsh district, seem
to be waxing warm, and the friends
of each candidate are on the qui
vive for anything that may help
their men on to victory.
The primary will not be held
until September -, and it is pos
slble that some surprises may come
before that time.
