The secession from Virginia was headed by
Lewis E. HarTie-tho same gentlemen who
seeded from the Democratic organization
in 4S46-bolted the caucus nomination of
Gov. Smith for the u. s. Senate, and by
combination with the Wings, succeeded in
electing r. NJ. L. Hunter over him This
movement IN Virginia now is similar re-
bellion against the Democratic party. Can
Gov. Smith cooperate with men whom he
knows are determined either to rule or ruin
