CAMPAIGN GROWS TENSE
One of Warmest Fights in Years i

Near

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 15.-The
race for the mayoralty of Rich
mond is becoming one of the warmest
since the days when "Dick" Taylor
was an aspirant, being opposed by
three men and receiving more votes
than all of them combined. This time
Mayor George AinSlie, who has been
, holding the office for several years.
is being opposed by DIR. j. Fulmer
Bright, well known physician and
formem member of the Legislature.
Mayor Ainslie has the support Of a
very wide circle of friends and the
city officials are believed to be largely
for him.
DR.. Bright has organized largely
among the young men of the city and
has been conducting a busy campaign
for the last three months. He has
strong organization and there are
meetings almost nightly. The report
is that the women's organizations are
for him, but this is not admitted by
