REPUBLICANS
WANT SLEMP
Tazewell County is Instructed
for Congressman as Long as
His Name is Before the
Convention.

A meeting of the Republicans of
Tazewell County was held in the
court house last Saturday afternoon,
and large delegation appointed, to
attend the Congressional convention
to be held in Norton next week. A
resolutio was adopted endorsing the
course Of Mr.. Slemp in Congress and
pledging the support of the Taze-
we'll delegates for his denomination.
The list of delegates consisted of six
hundred names, and, of course, space
VIII not permit the printing of the
list.
r. 0. CROCKETT AND l.. p. SUM.
MERS POSSIBLE CANDIDATES.
From news letter in Roanoke
Times from Washington and Bristol,
in regard to Mr.. Slemp's withdraw
al, the following extracts are taken.
"On at least two previous occas-
ions Mr.. Slemp has announced he
would not again be candidate for
Congress, but later, when the Ninth
District Republicans refused to ac-
cept his decision, consented to again
make the race. He may change his
mind again this time.
A contributing reaso nfor Mr..
Slemp's decision to retire In his dread
of campaigning all over the district
and making speeches ut almost every
cross-road. Neither does he relish
shouldcring alone tho cost Of the
campaign
With the Democrats Of the Ninth
District out and hustling and with
George Peery, formidable Demo-
cratic candidate in the field, Mr..
Slemp several months ago realized
he would have to actively stump the
district and be prepared to meet the
reported large campaign fund tho
Democrats are said to intend to spend
in the Ninth this summer
Crockett Is Favored.
Robert O.Crockett of Tazewcll is
generally looked upon by Mr.. Slemp
and his friends as the most likely
candidate to get the Ninth District
nomination for Congress.
Mr.. Slemp has often within the
past three months expressed his con-
fidence of reelection of he decided
to run himself against Peery and
has statel his belief that the Repub-
licans are so much better registered
in the Ninth than the Democrats that
any other Republican candidate who
would take his place would meet with
success"
Bristol, July 10-With the an
nouncement by Congressman G. Bas.
com Slcmp that he will not "under
any circumstances" again consider
becoming a candidate for Congress
in the Ninth Virginia District, Re-
publican leaders are casting about in
hope of being able to pick the man
most likely to be nominated at the
district convention to be held July
20, at Norton.
Giving due consideration to de-
velopings of the past two lays, it
appears almost certain that L. P.
Summers, of Abingdon, United States
district attorney for the Western dis
trict of Virginia, will get the NOM
ination. The situation may change
later but it looks like Summers now.
There seems to be popular demand
for him among Republicans.
