TRINKLE GAINING

The Bristol Herald Courler's sum
marv OF The situation is as follows
I "The face of the situation has
changed, end the reason IS not tar
to seek. Saaator Twinkle IS a sue
cessful business man who believes
in progress, and that is the type OF
man the people Of Virginia want at
the head Of the State Government
Mr.. Tuc:er is not successful busl-
ness man and he IS not forward
looking. Hi campaign slogan, back
to the Constitution" holds no prom
ise of progress and does not appeal
to the people. .
Senatr Trinkle's campaign in the
Ninth District resembles a trium-
phant TOUR. He is met. at every
point in the Southwest by lie people
in la.ge numbers demonstrating
their interest in their homc candi-
date. It is daily more evident that
his majority in the Ninth District
will be larger than his own head
quarters 'las calculated.
The Southwest people, more than
any others, know how Senator
Trinkle has responded in every
campaign since he LETT school to the
call Of his party, giving lis time,
energy, thought and means freely,
whenever called upon.
Throughout his campaign Senator
Trinkle has repudSted al thought
of sectionalism. He will be Cover
nor of the while people and not of
any part.
Senator Trinkle has made no
pledges with regard 20 the future
or medical or other education in
Virginia, except his general state
ment to do all in his powet for its
advancement. He has been too busy
in his campaign to read either the
majority CT the minority reports or
the onsol:dation or location of a
State n"dical cllege. E[e will be
either Governor of Virginia or Sen
I ator from Wythe County a. the
next session of the Legislature and
will be ready, as always, to cen
slider every problem that arises ir
| that boly on its merits.
Womer should remember that
they me:- qualify TO vote up until
the day of the primary. 1t is as.
sumed that they will vote in force
with tha exception of these who
prefer to go back to that Constitu,
ton which gave them no c.ghts Of
citizenship.

asking the guards outside his cell

dividing his time between the Bible,
