ss Captain Shepperd II would seem
L,e chances are excellent. In the

.,r The President is said TO appreciate

HNTIrLLD TO ONE.
Tho politicians in the Danyille district,
,errcssnted by Mr. Swanson, claim that
,seg are entitled to one of the bis places.
,f,svp poiDt 70 the tact that their district
80 surh an enormous Federal revenue
lat they should be recognized. They
t.xo relinnuished all hopes so far as
,bs Collector "a concerned In supporting
Csutain onepperd. Ii is understood they
o,.g go,ng TO nut IN their heaviest hicks 10
har the district attorneyship. ana the
fr.onds OF Sir. A. J. Montague. OF Dan;
,,lle. contend that he should be pressed
vigorously on the ground tha1 ne .ep,e, ,'d
e.nfe the vigorous Younger element ana
"a erninentlv qualified, ID addition to being
generally popular.
AZ EMBARRASSING SITUATION.
The a,torneyship for the Western Dis
1t,ct promises. however, TO be the most
embarrassing question that the Virginia
daleration will have to settle. MIR. Mar
s,,if will 20 into the conference from
me Southwest, with several candidates
asking recognition. but OF course when the
time comes to act he Will have 10 make MS
tight with ono man.
Mr.. lucker has two or more candidates,
with Captain Opie. of his own town, asA-
ING the appointment.
Nr Edmunds. il is said, will insist on
having Colonel j. Hampton Hoge. OF Rad
ford. endorsed.
Colonel OFerrall has more candidates,
perhaps. than any of the members tor the
t.-tuc; attorneyshlp. They ore Mr. II. II.
Uowplne. of Front ROYAL: Mr.. X. +. Byrd,
4 Winchester Mr.. James Baker, OF Shen-
aDdoah Mr. James Stephenson, OF Rock
iurham, and MIR. George Perkins. OF Abe
marie.
4 part of Mr.. Meredth's congressional
district is embraced IN the territory C@sr
which the attorney will have jurisdictSs,
and as be has no candidate from any OF
tie counties of his congressional district
lil, sad be leans towards Mr.. Downing.
colonel Gibson, of Culpeper, is. how
ever. one Of Mr. Meredith's immediate
constituents who wants to be District
Attorney again, but he is in the Eastern
District OF the State and does not come In
competition with the other gentlemen
L-mtI.
EQUALLY COMPLICATED.
The contest for the Eastern District,
l.'l as 10 ATTORNEY and Marshal Will be
equally as complicated, ana the delegation
WILL Lave 10 easy time IN setting the
question Of patronage.
Will We HEAR THE BAND PLAYG
u lasuo been definitely settled whether
O. uoi the Marine Band OF Washington can
liye the proposed concerts in Virginia and
North Carolina. and for which dates
have been selected. IL seems that
waen the leader OF the band made
ile arrangements he had no doubt
Tat PERMISSION would be granted.
Colonel HAYWOOD. the commander OF the
ralre barracks, however. would not give
BIZ consent. He so informed tho Navy
u,p4-tment. Now efforts are being MADE
go 80 an order from Secretary Herbert
permitting the band 10 20 Sonth. They
wan, 70 give concerts at Richmond,
Norfolk. and Charlotte, and possio'y IN
o'H,r cities. 1t is understood thar the
Governors of Virginia and North Carolina
have teen asked to write to the Secretary:
.ii Senator Hunton will also be requested
o. ujefcedc with Secretary Herbert.
I.r ,aad - poorly paid, and unless
ties can occasionally 90 on tours
',s men cannot earn good IVlng'
o., people outside wan. to hear this great
bad play. and it is thought an arrange
lrlt can probably be made.
Congressman Settle, Of the Fifth North
Car lil District. IS In the city.
Sir. Auson 4. Xix. of Newport News, Is
Aere.
VANCE AT THE TOP.
Senator Vance has been for many years
cl.rluAn OF the Senate Committee on
Woman Suffrage. but now he not only
steps up 10 the head OF the big Committee
ol luvl.eges and Elections. but the change
gives HIM a pleasant room In the top oil
tac bIg white building. Heretofore

Constituent and friend who start
a. to hud that room has gotten lost
d.. ainding about through the crooks and
'.ru. " the poorly lighted stairways lead.
.rc thereto. Mr.. Charles Vance. son OF
the senator, will continue to be tho clerk

TWO coSTEsTANTs.
The fight tor the governorship Of Arizona
seems to have narrowed down between
M. Ia. Burgess, formerly Of Calpeper,
Ns. Tut for some years resident OF Pres

1te friends Of Mr.. Burgess claim that he
LAS tho backing of Delegate Mark Smith,

House Of Delegates from Northampton
county. IS ia the city. He Is not an appii-
