Many Enter in Fight.
Congressman William a. Jones. for
mer Congressman Tucker, S. L. Kelley,
Of Richmond: Judge G. II. Fudge, of
Marion; e. Lee Trinkie. of Wythe. and
W. II. Werth, of Tazewell, are among
the popular speakers, other than those
already mentioned. who Will assist Mr..
Stuart in the latter days OF the fight,
ments between now and the day OF
election In almost every section OF the
district
There is a striking contrast be-
tween the management OF Mt stuart's
campaign and that OF Mr.. slemp's,
with reference to the policy Of procur-
ing speakers. The Democrats have
confined themselves entirely to Vlr-
ginia talent, while outside OF the Fed
eral ofticeholders, who have been al
most constantly on the stump for the
all their campaig ners
have come from other States.
This latter list embraces two de-
teated ''standpat congressman, New
York lawyer. who Is professional
orator. and the colonel The
Republicans are saying very little
about the bare mention Of Mr. Slemp
by the colonel at Bristol, for they
were evidently sorely disappointed at
what he did not say. Coming into the
district after the famous, now Con-
gresham, Duncan Mckiniay. who upon
being defeated for denomination in his
own State by an "insurgent,' con-
tributed so much toward Democratic
success in the State OF Maine. by
speaking for the Republican ticket
there, is former Congressman j. Adam
Bede, of Minnesota. who was the fSst
"standpatter'' In the country to fall
"outside the breastworks' on the Cans
non issue. Mr.. Bede was defeated two
years ago, and may justly claim that
he was the first martyr to the cause
of "Cannonism." Mr., Bede, however,
is a noted humorlst. 1t being said or
him that he even saw the humorous
side Of his own defeat, and has never
taken the result seriously.
Democrats Are Confident.
Apparently the Democrats are stout
~ holding the bulge they claim to
have secured over the Republicans IN
the campaign Mt the outset, and their
best informed leaders appear to be
absolutely confident that Mr.. Stuart il
going to win his 1ght by q perfectly
safe majority. The last three Weeks
of the battle Will be marked by the
hottest lighting known In the district
for many years, and both sides may
be expected to contest every inch OF
ground in sight 1t is a noticeable
fact that the stuart leaders talk with
much more confidence concerning the
result than 40 those OF Mr., Slemp.
