! as to his intentions in regard to the
coming State and county elections,
| Robert H. Forman, landscape gardener
and member of the Arlington County
| Zoning Commission. today formally an
/ nounced his candidacy for the Demo-
! cratic nomination for the House OF
Delegates. His announcement is
ratification of rumors to the effect that
the Office would be sought by some one
heretofore little known in local politics.
! That Forman's entry into the political
arena pressages real ngnt 1or tne
| only county Office affected by the COM
! ing election was being predicted today
by county officials. While he has as
vet made no declaration as to his in

Hugh Reid, the present member of the
House of Delegates, will be candidate
| to succeed himself. He refused today
| to discuss the matter. other than to
say that he was not yet ready to make
any announcement.
No G. o. p. Candidates Announced.
This years campaign is not expected
| to slow down Immediately after the
Democratic primaries, as has been the
case in the past, due to the political
upset that was State and county wide
in the last general election. The Re
| publicans have not yet named their
candidate, having delayed the selection
at their recent county convention. They
will undoubtedly do so after they have
observed the strength of the Democratic
candidate and it is the general belief
of those familiar with conditions in
the county that there will be a real
contest for the seat by the Republican
nominee.
Forman is native of Baltimore and
has been resident of the county for
the past seven years. a greater part of
which time has been devoted to the
! DEVELOPMENT of his nursery and land
scape business on Glebe road near Ball
ston.
Active Civic Worker.
He is charter member of the Cham
Der of Commerce and Rotary Club and
is a delegate to the Arlington District
Council from the Glebewood Citizens
Association. He is credited with having
| been largely responsible for the reallo-
cation of sufficient funds by the State
Highway Commission to widen and re-
pave Glebe road, the only connection
between the northern and southern
ends Of the county, this year. The
work on the road was started this week
and will extend from the Lee Highway
almost to Columbia pike.
