POLITICS WARM
IN LURAY COUNTY

Especial to The Richmond virgin.an.)
LURAY. VA. Nov. The politi-
cal muddle In this county is without
parallel In "the memory of tho
oldest inhabitant." Tho strangest
feature of tho strenuous campaign
just drawing to a close II that few,
II any. Will venture a prediction of
the outcome
Occasionally one runs across "a
Democrat or Republican who knows
1t ALL" In every case his party In
going to wipe up tho earth" with
the opposition. He never fails to
confirm his opinion by the affirmation
mo question about it, or 'I'H go you
two to one"
Thinking people who have made a
study of the campaign and who for
years had kept In touch with the
slender margin OF votes when ii
comes to division between the DEM
ocratio ana Republican parties In this
county, are not making any predic-
tons,
There are some candidates for Of
Ace who until few weeks ago were
regarded an invincible. Reports, some
OF them true, and some not, have
damaged the prospects OF these can
lIdates until there is nothing GER
tain as to who will chpture the prize.
In fact, those who are standing for
reelection have been no more sharp
ly subjected TO these reports than tho
'outs."
Every nook and corner OF tho coun-
Fly from the Blue Ridge to the Massa-
mutton mountain has been ransacked
to find out deroxatory reports about
opposing candidate Even tho small
