ALONE IN DOUBT
Republican Chances Better There
Than in Ninth, Where Stuart
Will Scalp Slemp.
WORK HARD FOR SAUNDERS
Democratic Forces Determined
to Send Him Back to Con-
gress Again This Year.

With the decision last Thursday OF
the Eighth District Republican Com
mittee not to call convention for
the nomination of party candidate
for Congress, the lists of asp'rants In
Virginia Is complete, with the excep-
ton, of course, of the nomination of "a
Democratic candidate in the Second
District.
Representative Carlin. of the Eighth
District, was in Richmond last night
on his way to Louisa, where he Will
speak to-day ip the interest of his
candidacy. While Republican oppost-
tion would haze caused perhaps
stronger effort on his part to bring
out the full Democratic vote. it would
have made no difference as to his cleo
tion.

Enky for Four.

/ It is equally certain that Represen-

surface. Mr.. Jones will get 3-to-1
vote. CAPTAIN Lamb may do even better

This leaves only three districts II

i Fifth liz Doubtful.
The Fifth, the Democrats frankly ad

i the State. Although the Democrats
there have been attempting to organize
the party to the best OF their ability
there seems to be lacking the tendency
i toward a Democratic landslide which
