Will be their banner district, with the
POSSIBLE exception of the home district
OF their candidate-the Seventh.
In the Tenth, Amherst county is re-
garded as doubtful by the Martin peo-
pie, and as largely for Jones by the
opposition. Nelson and Fluvanna are
also claimed for Jones. but this Martin
people say there Is no doubt OF any

Senator Martin ere said TO be those
who have Just nominated an indie
