For the most part, the congres?
sional campaigns o( this year tiro
Without spectacular features. Attacks
'?ii the records id the congressmen
have bccii practically unknown, Little
hitter luling has been developed.
Discussions have been bonllncd inosll)
to issiti s and not to personalities, in
this respect the lights have been inticll
more dlgntllet1 than others which have
been iind in recent years.
Begin I hi. Week.
The first primary of the season will
be held Thiiraduy of tins week in the
Sixth Congressional District. The in?
cumbent, Carter Class, of Lynchburg,
is opposed by former state Senator
Don iialsey, of tin same city, and
by i it> Sergeant T ii. Tlllett, of Roti
noke. Mr. Ilalsoj has been a candi?
date for ne.uiv eighteen months, pre?
senting Iii? lltilllo at about the inline
mm with F. IV. Harper, who later
withdrew1, lie has visited the counties
jmlid cities and has made addresses.
'Sergeant Tlllett, while not so long on
spcechnidking, ha* made a careful
cuuvass, going from house to house in

both his opponent;, combined. The re?
moval of Halifax ami Charlotte coun?
ties considerably weakened the oppo
sitlon to Mr. oiass, and rendered Mr.
Ilitlsey's cause practically hopeless, j
according to the general view. He Is i
a very effective speaker. 1>ut It is |
lindcistood to- lias not 1? en able to
rally many people to his support. !
While Mr. Tillen will receive a large !
complimentary vote in ids home city, |
his success i Hewhere Is not expected. I

Third District Fight.
In the Third District, on August IS,
win be held tiie sound primary of
tb<- year. Congressman John l.Uinb has
lor his opponent former CiOVi rnor Au?
di, w liokson Montague, who became
it candidate on the same da> that Col?
on, l .lohn S. Harwood withdrew from
lit,- contest. Both candidates have
uindi many speei lies over tho district.
Captain bnmi. hrts. for the most part,
cunlliled himself to a discussion of his
record of s.xtecn years, while Gov?
ernor Montague bus talked of popular
government and advocated certain re?
forms which he deems desirably for
tin common good.
Clubs were organized early In tho
Campaign by the friends of each man,
and these ..lub-' members have been
doing more or less e(T. < tlvc work. But
alter the first meeting of Captain j
Lamb's forces little was accomplished I
'for probably a month. In that time I
the organization for Governor Moid |
I tiiguc w.is far advanced. Now both I
i have Hielt- lists of voters ami their j
j own conclusions as to the result. Both
I men claim Hie city of Richmond nnd

) Were one to ludge from the expres?
sions heard on tin street! and In the I
offices and In oilier places of the tilty
where men do congregate, It Would
seem that C.nvernor Montague has an
excellent chance for a large majority
in Richmond.

The First District primary will be
held August 21. Former Mayor Samuel

of his personality. But tt Is generally
believed that the majority which will
be registered by Mr, Jones In the dis?
