There are in Newport News about
1.8OO voters qualified to participate
In the national and Congressional!
election in November OF this number
something like 1900 belong In the
Democratic ranks. In spite OF THIS
fact. however, leading local Repub-
licans make the assertion, apparently
In all sincerity. that MIR. George
Nelms Wise. the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress. is going 10 carry
the city by majority Of three or four
hundred, and that the vote for Presi-
dent will be close. This, OF course.
will not happen. but the size OF the
Democratic majority will depend to a
certain extent upon the activity OF
the party leaders.
MIR. Wise is a Newport News man
and has many friends. He viii! poll
the Republican vote solidiy. and some
iukewarm Democrats will cast their
ballots for him for persona! reasons
or simply because he is local man.
Hence is is necessary 10 put in some
work for Mr.. Jones in order TO make
sure that he will receive the majority
he deserves as the Democratic nomi-
nee and as a man who has made a
splendid representative in Congress.
Bryan and Kern vii! sc: Virginia's

district In Congress. no matter what
Newport News does. But the Demo
