There Is little doubt that every coun-

Mr.. Hiden lives not far from the Orange

"Of course, Orange is overwhelmingly
for MIR. Tucker" he said. "a fact which
became well known some months ago.
All the 4esAlAllS democrats OF lHe GO4u-

George ShacklefOrd. who has been prom
inent in politics for years. is an ardent
supporter Of Mr.. Tucker. An Orange
County man. who lives near the Abe
marie line, told me a few days ago that
that section OF Albemarle, lying next to
Orange IS strongly for Mr.. Tucker. and
expressed the opinion that. with proper
effort Tucker would carry the county.
Among the most enthusiastic Tucker
men IN Virginia is Judge r. T. W. Duke.
of Albemarle. who is a very close friend
OF Senator Martin. his neighbor, and is

Mr.. Hiden said that HIS information

effect that the Tucker sentiment IN the

followers believed they could carry It fOr
