General Election Next Tuesday
Tuesday, November 2, the entire House of Representatives and one-third of our United States Senators will be elected. That makes the occasion an extremely important one, yet little interest is apparently being engendered. This election is of considerable interest in Virginia. One of our two Senators is up for re-election—Mayor A. Willis Robertson former Representative in Congress from our Seventh District and, for the past eight years, a member of the United States Senate.
Pursuing the skein of the election further, we find that our own Seventh District Congressman for the past eight years, the Hon. Burr P. Harrison, likewise comes before the voters for re-election.
Major Robertson has two opponents—Clarke _T. Robb, a Socialist-Democrat, and Charles William Lewis, Jr., who lists himself as an Independent but who, most assuredly, is blessed by the inner circle of the Republican! party. Certainly he makes no bones about the fact that he woos GOP. support.
Mr. Harrison, too, has opposi_tion. John Paul Ruddick, of Highland County, is the nominee of the Republican party. Mr. Ruddick, equipped with an artistically engrossed station wagon and aided by a professional promotor, originated in Canada and came to Highland a few years ago by the way of Washington, D. C.
In fact, according to official information provided by the Chief of the Miscellaneous Services Sec| tion of the Office of Internal i Revenue, Mr. John Paul Ruddick.
