Politics Picking Up.
Simultaneously with the opening of
I campaign headquarters of the four
candidates for the United States Sen?
ate in Richmond, the local Democratic
leaders are beginning to .stir them?
selves in the Southside and feel hov.'
the political pulse of the section is
beating.. So far activity in .State poli?
tics has been confined to the leader*
and personal friends of the several
candidates, but the unusual amount u|
political talk heard on the street cor?
ners indicates a particularly warm
battle in South Richmond.
Couhty politics is suffering slightly
among the SoiithSide residents as a re?
sult of the greater interest in the sena?
torial tight, but it seems probable that
as. the time of the election draws near
Interest in local politics will revive.
With five candidates for the office of
County Treasurer, each of them with
a strong following, and two popular
men struggling for the office of Com?
monwealth's Attorney, the coming
county election promises to be keen.
