RETURN OF STUART
GIVES THEM HOPE
Democrats of the Ninth Take
Cheer at Coming Home of
Their Standard Bearer.

Political interest in Richmond al
over the State has been stimulated by
the cabiegram from Liverpool, Eng,
conveying the news that Henry c.
Stuart, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the Ninth District. had sail
ed for the United States.
Mr.. Stuart was called to Paris i'm
mediately after the convention at Bris-
tol had nominated him as the man to
redeem the Ninth" by his wiffe's Sc
rious illness. For many weeks he was
adverse to accepting the nomination
because Of Mrs. Stuarts precarious
condition.
Ills countless friends In the SOUTH
western part of the State and in Rich
mond We're not only glad to hear of
his sailing. because 1t probably means
Democratic victory next fall, but be-
cause 1t undoubtedly implies that Mrs.
Stuart is much improved.
