Lvnchburg. expects to enter the race
for the gubernatorial nomination III
creases the number OF active CanIi'
dates to four
While there have been limitations
heretofore that the Sixth district CON

Mr.. Glass would be satisfied to retain
his seat in Congress. to which body
he was reelected last month.
Especial interest Is lent to the
Lynchburger's proposed candidacy by
one paragraph OF his secretary's pro-
clamation, which is as follows:
81 am authorized further to state
that in addition TO many other strons
men who will support Mr.. Glass, ne
will have the active and cordial as
sistancc of Senator John w. Daniel

will have in influencing choice by

Will Win Journal Courier
Free Trips,

At the lodge, sewing club, mothers

notice q bunch of persons talking ami
matedly, you can rest assured that
they are discussing the most import

win the Journal-Courier contest trips?
Seemingly all days look alike to a
vote-getter In the Washington, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City and New York
free vacation contest, and each day
seems to increase the vote-gettns
spirit.
Perhaps It's because the time" Is
soon to be called and then the victor
will claim the spells. But the win
ners won't claim those trips without
vast amount Of activity" remarked
one of the candidates yesterday,
"They will have to go some and all
the way to win
II will be a red hot finish. A large
amount of reserve votes will be cast
on the last day, and the final figures
are hard to estimate at this time,
Conjurers are busy, however, figuring
out how many votes will be necessary
to win, but it's no use as you can't
tell. Spend your time working, not
figuring as no one can give the remot-
est idea till the final canvass is COM
pleted.
