SLEMP FACES FIGHT OF LIFE
Democrats Hopeful of Defeating Only
G.. o. p. Congressman.

Washington, Sept. 11--Democratic
leaders of Virginia have decided to
make the hardest fight of their lives
to defeat Representative Bascom
Slemp, the lone Republican in Con-
grcss from that State and they think
they have good opportunity this
year to elect Democrat from the
Ninth district.
The Democratic prospects in the
Ninth district are so encouraging that
Senator Thomas S. Martin, regarded
as one of the shrewdest political or
ganizers in the country, will go to
Mr.. Slemp's district as soon as he
closes up his Senatorial work here
and organize the campaign for Lee
Trinkle, the Democratic nominee
This is the first time in six years that
Senator Martin has undertaken this
task in the Ninth. He has made poll
tical speeches for the Democratic
candidates against Mr.. Slemp but
has never gone so far as to direct
the campaign.
Mr.. Trinkle has opened his cant
paign and in his first speech charged
Representative Slemp with "absen-
teeism." He said that Mr.. Slemp had
not made speech in the House in two
years; that he was seldom seen on the
floor of Congress and spent most OF
his time looking after his private
business affairs instead of devoting
his energies to his Congressional
duties. The Republicans realize that
Mr.. Slemp has a hard fight on his
hands, due to the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson is immensely popular in
Virginia and will strengthen the Con-
gressional candidates. For that rea-
son the Republican leaders want all
their energies placed behind Mr..
Slemp instead of scattering them in
making a fight on Senator Swanson
