EXTRAORDINARY CAMPAIGN

the climax was capped last night when,
Immediately following conference.
several OF the judges leading support
ers supporters admitted that their
candidate would not carry the city.
Who ever heard OF politician ad-
hitting anything like this? Judge
Mann will throw up his hands In nor
ror when he hears about II, for no
one knows better than the judge that
such a proceeding is contrary to all
the rules of the game.
The Mann forces made their start
In an unusual manner, to say the

or not he was "a friend of Judge
Manu. When the reporter said that
he did not know exactly what that
meant. and declined to commit him
self to vote for the Nottoway candi-
date, h was requested to remain out
side. and a written report of the pro-
ceedings was sent 10 the paper. The
paper did not object to this. and per-
haps there was a good reason for do

IL was contrary TO ali the ordinary

lively supporting The opposition, every
effort is made to give its representa-
