Publication Of the report that Senator
C. Walter Mapp of Accomac was
"sounding" in connection with the
race for the United States Senate next
year failed to produce much of rip
ple on the political waters. No decla-
ration regarding the matter has come
from Senator Mapp that he Will be
candidate.
, At this time it is accepted that
Senator Swanson will make the race.
and his friends are pleased at the
showing he made when the state
democratic committee met here. Of
course, Senator Swanson may run.
but it is possible that his health will
prevent his entrance; In that case case
Senator Mapp would be next In line.
Opinion is general that there will be
two, and no more, candidates In the
race for the United States Senate here
next year, but 1t Is within the prov
ince of a dozen men to make the race
If they feel so inclined.
Since the primary of last month
when the women and the prohibi-
tionists and the workingmen scored
such a signal victory for Senator
Trinkle over Mr.. Tucker, the ele-
ments have been given full credit for
the victory which came to them:
Senator Mapp was the champion of
the same principles and policies as
carried Senator Trinkle to victory.
being a little stronger in his prohibi-
tion principles than Senator Trfnkle.
So. with these same lines holding.
there would be considerable weight
behind Senator Mapp II he did enter.
