SENATOR WEST

Editor Richmond Virginian:
The present session Of the general
assembly has attracted a large num-
Der OF men to the capital city from
every section of the state, and as
they are more or less active in pub
lie life in their respective communi-
ties, their opinion concerning politi-
cal matters is worth much in any
forecast of the future. Before an
other session OF the general assembly
the people will be called upon to
elect a full state ticket In this con-
nection it is interesting to note the
favorable comments upon the can
didacy of State Senator j. +. West,
OF Nansemond county, for lieutenant
governor by those who have visited
Richmond the past few weeks. Those
who have been interviewed do not
hesitate TO say that they regard Sena-
tor West as the leading candidate and
that in the August primary next year
he will be the winner by long odds.
Senator West is a true and tried
Democrat and has been active In
party affairs since attaining his ma
iority. He was for a term or two
president of the councn of Suffolk, his
home city. In 1909 he was elected to
the house OF delegates and two years
later was chosen to represent the
thirtieth senatorial district in the
state senate, a position he has held
ever since
During his incumbency of a 1egisla-
! tive position, Senator West has been
in the front rank of those who have
stood for progressive policies and the
upliff of the people. His record is an
open book and his friends are salts
| fed that upon his record he will be
promoted by the Democrats when
! they cast their ballots in the state
| primary
! Senator West is in the prime of life,
! has been successful in business and is
| ever ready to give the common
! wealth the benefit OF his services in
promoting the best interests Of the
rnonle. His friends regard him as the
right man for the place and they do
not hesitate 10 say mat his candidacy
