STRUGGLE Is SPIRITED.
Tucker-Trinkle Contest Stirs Vot-

Special patch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
FREDERICKSBURG Va, August
Much interest is being displayed
In tomorrow's primary election. as
shown by activity on the part OF sup
porters of the several candidates and
by some betting on the outcome of the
gubernatorial race.
The vote between Trinkle and
Tucker in the city of Fredericksburg
and the counties of Spotsylvania,
Stafford. King George and Caroline
will be close. In Stafford county the
fight is particularly warm. with party
leaders of influence on opposite
sides. battling hard for supremacy.
Reports from the counties indicate
that the newly enfranchised woman
voters are taking but little interest.
1t looks as if Spotsylvania. where
most of the county officeholders are
for Trinkle, will likely give him a
small majority. Stafford is appar-
emily so close that a prediction as to
the result there would be nothing
more than a guess. and the same is
true of King George. Caroline early
but Tucker has made large gains in
that county Still it looks as If Trim
kle will carry it by fifty to seventy
five majority.
Essex county Will give Tucker a
good majority. Fredericksburg will
have little caring on the fortunes Of
either candidate.
State Senator Gum will probably
carry Fredericksburg and Spotsylva-
mia by large major;ties in the fight
for lieutenant governor. with Gilpin
second and West third. Gum Is like
wise expected to carry King George.
Caroline and Essex. while Stafford
will be close between him and Gilpin.

to a fair vote here. but a small one
