Witten-Stuart Race
Stirs Wide Interest
In Virginia
Porty Lines Virtuo|Iy
ObIiteruted in Some
Southwest Sections
BY the Associated Press.

e~Ss
RICHMOND. Va. Nov 4.-Politics,
swelled to a high tide of interest by
Democratic factionalism and local
issues, has swept across and Vir-
tually obliterated party lines in pre-
election campaigns in some sections
of Southwest Virginia to Offset the
apathy with which Tuesdays elec-
ton for the General Assembly and
county Offices is viewed In most parts
of the State.
Rivalry between Democratic fac
tions headed by United States Sen.
ator Byrd and Gov Price. which
flared during a number of cam
paigns in the Democratic primary,
is raging under the surface In the
general election in the lighting
ninth congressional district
A particularly hard-fought con-
test between Senator J. w. Witten,
-c--- r|-',cn6er'. cr,. y
C. Stuart of Russell. the Democratic
nominee in the Tazewell- Russell
Buchanan senatorial district, has
stirred political whirlpools in the
fighting NINTH" traditional strong
hold of hot politics in Virginia.
Party Lines Involved.
Political leaders, asked about the
conflicting alignments, talk "off the
record"-not to be quoted-because
party lines are involved.
DR.. Witten, a Democratic member
of the House Of Delegates until four
years ago when he made a success
full campaign as an independent
against Mr.. Stuart, is friendly to the
Price faction. Mr.. Stuart is q stall
wart IN the Byrd organization and
is expected to get its support. Witten
adherents include many Price sup
porters Both sides are openly court
ing the Republican vote-no Repub-
lican being in the race. The contest
is complicated by local issues.
The Republicans, with no can
didates in the field in several races,
may hold the balance Of power. In
others they are seeking to gain ad-
vantage from rivalry Of Democratic
factions.
Contest Is Watched.
The Witten-Stuartc contest is being
watched by Byrd Price leaders
throughout the State as well as In
Southwest Virginia Stuart parti-
sans contend the influence Of N.
Clarence Smith, chairman of the
State Conservation Commission. Is
being welded in behalf Of DR.. Wit
ten, while Witten supporters assert
Stuart forces are being counseled by
former controller E. r. Combs, long
leader In the Byrd organization.
Mr.. Smith Is from Tazewel, Mr..
Combs comes from Russell.
Former Gov. Peery OF Tazeweu Is
active in behalf of Mr.. Stuart.
In most parts Of the State the vote
Is expected to be light. There are
only eight contested senatorial dis
tricts out Of IS, and contests in only
q out Of 80 House districts. In the
States 100 counties there are 80
contests for treasurer, n for COM
missioner Of revenue, a for sheriff
and 81 for commemorative attorney
The election in many eastern
counties. where the Republican vote
Is negligible, is q free-for ali In the
Absence Of a Democratic primary or
convention.

Roscoe and Gatliff decided to go

Roscoe as he tied the empty jar on

and started out into deep water.
Well, that fish pulled their boat

ABOUT woMEN's FACE

Wandering here and there around
crowded tables, asking names Of
those found in various mite spots,
l see many faces, sad faces, strained
to the point of tears; misery lined
faces. taut with anxiety and worry.
| wonder why?
At times, all these women's faces
are masked with forced smile, as
though that particular woman was
kidding herself into enjoying the
fun and gayety found on the Silly
Go-Round.
Then when that forced smile has
fitted away, a tragic, stark naked
face reveals itself in misery and
loneliness. For perhaps that face
reveals the aching heart Of lonely
girl all too anxious for the
sweet companionship of the right
man or of that lonely girl all
too eager to welcome a devoted
love. One worthy OF matrimony, a
home and family. And whose lips
softly whisper Speak to me Of
love-
But now she smiles and hides the
aching loneliness in her heart as
she slowly sips a much unwanted
but bolstering drink Of some kind
or other
Or perhaps that forced smile
wells the face Of a woman who
dares not admit, even to her closest
friend, that she is incapable Of en-
sharing and holding the love of
some man, and who must therefore
flirt with every male near at hand,
all in the fond hopes of sharing
some man now. and thus establish
herself as capable woman. Deep
from the heart comes a sigh from
this woman, I'm in the mood for
love"
Then again that smile now mask
ing the face Of an attractive woman
may hide the aching misery of a
woman, writing in the depths OF
self pity because she has lost her
love. And whose heart now pleads,
Lover, come back TO me
Or perhaps that forced smile Of
