COMMERCE BODIES FORMAN CANDIDATE FOR VIRGINIA HOUSE Member of Virginia Zoning Commission Enters Dele- gates’ Race. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., June 1—While the present encumbent remains silent as to his intentions in regard to the coming State and county elections, | Roberc H. Forman, landscape garden and member of the Arlington Coun Zoning Commission, today formally & | nounced his candidacy for the Demc | cratic nomination for the House of Delegates. His announcement is a varification of rumors to the effect that | the office would be sought by some one heretofore little known in local politics | That Forman's entry into the political !arena pressages a real fight for the | only county office affected by the com- | ing election was being predicted today by county officials. While he has as | yet made no declaration as to his in- | tentions, it is the general belief that | Hugh Reid, the present member of the | House of Delegates, will be a candidate |to succeed himself. He refused today | to discuss the matter, other than to | say that he was not yet ready to make any announcement. NO_G. P. Candidates Announced. This year's campaign is not expected |to slow down immediately after the | Democratic primaries, as has been the |case in the past, due to the political upset that was State and county wide |in the last general clection. The Re- | publicans have not yet named their | candidate, having delayed the selection at their recent county convention. They will undoubtedly do so after they have | observed the strength of the Democratic candidate and it is the general belief of those familiar with conditions in | the county that there will be a real | contest for the seat by the Republican nominee.
