Democratic Plans in Ninth
District.
PARSONS WILL TRY AGAIN

Representative John Lamb returned
TO his home In this city yesterday
from Washington, after an almost con-
ttnuous absence Of seven months. at
tending to his duties in Congress.
Captain Lamb says he is ready for
anything which may come up in the
campaign for reelection in which he
will now embark. The next six weeks
will be spent by him In seeing the
voters of the Third District
In the meantime. his opponent for
the Democratic nomination. Judge I.
Ashby Wickham, of Henrico, has not
been idle. There have been indica-
tons from time TO time that he is
seeing not q few OF the sovereigns.
He is much encouraged by the prom
ises of support which have been given
him.
There will doubtless be some public
speaking during the campaign. yari-
Gus organizations OF voters in Rich
mond will invite the candidates to
address them. and in this way Joint
debates may be the result The Clay
Ward Actives, the Henry Clay Club
and the East End Citizens Associa-
ton are among the societies which
are likely to have public sessions for
the purpose of permitting the voters
to find out what the aspirants stand
for. and what they propose to do for
the people of the district.
Nothing personal has developed. nor,
judging from the spirit exhibited by
the two men, is anything likely to.
Both express the kindliest feelings for
each other.
Parsons Likely to Run.
Elsewhere in the State there Is little
that is new in the political situation.
The impression prevails that the &C
tion of the House Committee on Elec-
Lons in voting to unseat Representa-
tive Saunders and to seat State
Senator Parsons will result in the lat
ter's denomination. The contest will
not be voted upon by the House be-
Tore December. and 1t is commended
that Mr.. Parsons should demonstrate
his standing in the district by securing
his election before he expects favor
able action from Congress. The Demo
Gratis. however, seem confident Of the
reelection of Judge Saunders, al
though unless he secures more than
1000 majority he may be again I'M
seated since the election of November
will be held with Floyd county still
out of the Fifth District, this being
the point on which the committee de-
cided the contest Floyd gives about
1000 Republican majority.
The liveliest sort of scrap is brew
Ing in the Second District between
Congressman Maynard and ex-Con-
gresham Young, with the result, as
seen in Richmond, very much in doubt
While at first blush il would seem
that Mr. Young's chances should be
excellent, the friends of Mr.. Maynard
will not admit the possibility of hi
defeat.
In the Ninth. where the centre o
political interest will continu
throughout the year, the Democrat
are completing arrangements for al
extensive campaign of public spea king
The full list has not yet been madi
out. but it will be ready for publi'
cation shortly. AS soon as the issue
is joined by the denomination of Rep
resentative Slemp al Abingdon on July
10, and by the adoption of fRepubli.
can platform. the Democrats will be
ready with broadsides for the national
Republican record, and with reasons
for the election OF Henry C. Stuart
The fight which Will be the result is
likely to be one which will be long
remembered in the political annals OF
the State.
