FIFTH EXPECTS LIVELY FIGHT
Generally Believed Swanson Will
Enter Congressional Race,
Governor Has Made No Announce
ment of His Political Plans
for the Future.

Special 20 Tho Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va, Aug. 23.-Although Gov.
Swanson has made no public announce
ment as TO whether or not he will go
back 10 his old district and run Tor Con-
gress next year, after he surrenders his
present Office to his successor, ii is the
general belief that he will do 50. and that
there win be a lively fight for the nomi-
nation between the governor and the in
cumbent. Judge E. w. Saunders. OF
Franklin.
The governor has never denied that he
may make an effort to return to the seat
in Congress. which he held for nearly
fourteen consecutive years. on the other
hand. many OF his close friends believe
he will run. for it Is well known that
the governor is by no means averse to
remaining in public life.
It is believed that his ultimate ambition
is to go to the United States Senate.
though It is doubtful II he will ever op-
pose either of the incumbents, to both
OF whom he is attached by warm ties OF
personal and political friendship.
The governor is a popular Stumper
having carried his district seven times
over strong Republican opposition. Judge
Saunders desires TO remain in Congress
as he voluntarily gave up what was
practically a lifetime position on the
bench in order TO become a member OF
the national legislature
1t is practically certain, therefore, that
ne and Gov. Swanson will lock horns for
the nomination next yea, with every
prospect of a warm struggle. They are
both men Of recognized ability, each
being endowed with his share OF bulldog
determination
The fact that Judg, ars came
near losing the district Repub-
leans in the two last elections is having
a stimulating effect upon Gov. Swanson
probable candidacy, it beng urged thai
the latter always ran far beyond the
danger line when contesting with the va
rious Republicans who opposed him from
time 70 time.

The readjustment Of the Congressional

problems which would require much nice

Richmond. Va. Aug 23.-Although the
gubernatorial campaign has not struck
its gait, the indications at present are
that the Republicans will have a big
barrel OF funds to open up. while the
Democrats will have to make every cent
count.
The statement Is made that the usual
sources. upon which the Democrats have
relied IN the past for contributions to
pay legitimate expenses, will not come
70 the financial aid Of the party this
fall 1t is further said that these con-
tributors are holding back on account
Of the nomination Of Judge Mann for
governor.
Big Roll for G. o. p.
On the other hand, there are many indi-
cations that the Republicans will have
no end OF campaign funds for the fight
this fall It is reported that the national
committee may help finance the Virginia
campaign. and certain individual Repub-
licans. who are taking more interest
than ever in the campaign, may come
up with a big roll.
Alvah II Martin. Of Norfolk County
member Of the Republican National Com
mittee from Virginia, a near-millionaire,
according 10 those who profess 70 know
the state of his bank account, is throw
ing himself into the campaign with a
great deal OF ardOr, II is said. and this
leads some Of the rank and file to be-
lieve he will contribute even more liber-
ally than heretofore.
Mr.. Martin attended the conference OF
the Republican executive committee In
Roanoke Saturday night and left that
night for New York. II is reported that
his presence at the meeting meant that
the national committee was interested
In the fight the Republicans Of Virginia
propose TO make, and that this interest
would extend 20 financial aid.
SIemp Now Well Fixed.
Representative Bascom slemp, chair
man OF the State committee. recently has
made a great deal of money in coal land
deals in Southwest Virginia and Ken
lucky and will undoubtedly support the
campaign with money. He does not bear
the reputation Of being a stingy man
when II comes 10 contributing to the
cause.
In addition to all this. it is understood
that the Republican ofiicehOlders under
the Federal administration may be called
on 20 contribute. Representative Slemp,
as chairman Of the State committee. can
solicit contributions from a Federal
office holder, though he could not do so
were he a Federal official. In addition.
Mr. Slemp's position as the only Re
publican member Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives from Virginia gives him a
prestige In Washington. where the ap-
polntments are made, such as is not en-
joyed by the average member OF Con-
greSs.
