WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The prevailing
opinion among Virginians here is that Rep.
rcscntative Barbour will succeed General
Malone as United States Senator. Messrs.
Barbour and Daniel, both members of the
House OF Representatives, are candidates,

has been mentioned in that connection,
but his friends do not believe that
he will enter the race. They say he will
take the executive chair to which he has
been elected and fill out his term. Mr.. Bar
bour was Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee and manager Of the canvass, and
it is thought that a feeling of gratitude
within the party toward him will give him
all easy lead in the Senatorial race.
