ocratic ticket. Again. his frank and
open methods in politics and in bus
mess are appealing strongly to the
rank and file" OF both parties and are
winning for him the confidence ot
strangers he meets in. the campaign
from day to cay.
Democrats throughout the district
have assumed new courage and conf
dence since the results In Maine. Yer
mont and Arizona. while the Republic
cans appear badly confused and rat
tied"

not cause the Stuart people to relax
their energies through over-conndenco,
nor Will they cause the Republicans to
clay down their hands" in the face OF
a dismal outlook.
On the other hand, they appear to
have stimulated both sides to creator
activity, and there are strong indi-
cations that the last six weeks of the
battle in the Ninth will be fought more
desperately than any contest waged
for Congress in Virginia district
within the past twenty years.
