Virginia Indians, most of whom re

pastime in hunting and fishing, pretty
much as they did in the days of Cap

*e,» very peaceful In disposition and
give the authorities practically no
trouble. Few of them make a prac

•Ojacent cities, and there are perhaps
many person^ln Virginia who do not
even know that any redskins still re

Xtaminion. _ '

Supervisor Moore has asked that ev

"With the exception of the distance

Without bract* band* or presu

Virginia Congr«w4e»*.l DMrlcl
Since he announced hi* candidacy
ten day* ago in responno to questions
| a* to whether or not be would make
a contest with Captain John lamu,
| Ywho ha* represented the Third seven
times, Judge Wickham'* friend* have
1 been bu»y and his strength Is growing
daily, according to them.
Although It has been rumored that
former Governor Montague and Dele
gate John Harwood would also enter
the field for the congressional Job,
| nothing definite has been heard from
either of them, and their friends are
unable to speak for them. It 1* un
derstood that X>elegate Harwood,
i being a distant relative of Captain
Iasmb'*, will not contest with him for
!the office.
1* Will Deliberating.
As far as can bo learned ex-Gover
1 nor Montague has not Intimated that
he would like to be congrtf.iman
from the Third, or believed he had a
chance to get the Job, but it is well
: known that Ills friends have urged
him to make the race. Mr. Montague
bus put his friends oft saying he
j would delltierSte over the matter and
alter giving It his most earnest
thought and consideration would make
Ibis decision known to them. There
I are- those who question the advisa
bility of Mr. Montague's return to
i politic* as it ha* not been »o many
, month* since, ho was said to be a re
j oeptive candidate for a Federal Judg
jshlp, while ills friends believe there
i would be little left for any othe rcan
| didate for the congressional position
If he camb out for It.
It Is said to be evident that Delegate
Harwood Is waiting to see If Mr. Mon
tagus enters the field. In the event
; th- latter does come out Mr. Harwood
will have a troublesome situation to
' face. Ife 1* known to be a staunch
supporter of Mr. Montague and an
i equally strong adherent of Mr. Lamb’s.
.It Is believed that Delegate Harwood’s
1 entrance tn the case would cause the
{vote to be so split up that Represen
tative I.amb would be re-elected.
Judge Wickham’s friends say they
{find very strong sentiment In his favor
throughout the entire district. In
1 Williamsburg, Charles City, Henrico
county, James City and New Kent,
nil of which he has campaigned for
| the posit Ion of State senator, senti

Lamb Is said to be especially encour
aging. In Chesterfield, Goochland,
| and King AVilHnm, which are In the
Third district but not In Senator
;1Vickham’« district, there Is reported
| to be a most friendly feeling f"r
candidacy and his supporters believe
be will poll an 'Appreciable vote hi
Ibo**.. JVaoes. In Rlchmand and
