OTHER ENTRIES SEEN
Third Man in Senate Race Being
Talked; Filing Period Expires
Next Saturday and Names
Must Be In

Political contests warmed still fur
Their today in the entry of three mem
bers of the present Vance Board of
County Commissioners into the race
all seeking reelection.
All of the three members of the
board whose terms expire this wear
announced they would seek re-elec-
ton. w. w. Grissom and w. p. Par
IRISH, whose four-year terms are ex-
plrlng this this year, announced for
reelection, as did also w. w. Currin
whose tWO-year term runs out this
year.
c. B. Reavis is the only entry al
ready in the field for county commits
sioner, and whether or not there
would be others was not learned.
There was talk today Of third en-
try into the race for the State Senate
but no formal announcement was
made. Candidates already in the field
are w. S. Corbitt and w. w. White.
Meantime, the period for filina
grows shorter and shorter, and those
who will be on the ticket for the Dem
ocratic primary of June will have Ia
Tile their names and pay their fees
with the County Board of Elections
not later than next Saturday, which
is the deadline. For that reason. it is
thought there will probably be other

most of the elective offices of most
interest to the public, although there
are few in which incumbents have
as yet developed on opponent.
