SUCCESSION TO MALONE.
Icpuricans here are eagerly watching
... contest for the Craftsmanship of the
virginia State Committee. made vacant
DID,. tho death of General Malone. OF the
many candidates mentioned for the sue
,.,-af~hip Colonel William Lamb Of
Norfolk. and General James a. Walker.
WVtheyille. seem 30 BE- in the lead.
,aloncl Lamb. who the Virginia Republi-
cans call zone OF the lily whites, has
strong white following In the state
bot ne Is very unpopular among the
aiored brethren. and he is also said 10
te weak because of his bad management
and abandonment of the Borland-Tyler
Contest. many attributing BOrland's de-
Fat To Lamb. The Colonel also wants
90 he the national committeeman. and
I'D both positions as Malone did. but
tho party will never again submit to any
,ue-man power as il did under the late
boss" and this ambition of Colonel
lambs. who is regarded as a Mckinley
man. has set all the Reed followers
against him II would seem for these
reasons that Lambs chances of election
are somewhat doubtful.
General James A. Walker. who is
,sw convert, and untried in Republican
.c,irs or warfare. has strong opposition
..n loo his own section OF the state, be
-.nse f his free-siIver fallacies; and he
lacks an the qualities of successful Re-
rthucan leadership. which can only be
...,..ir.i by experience and contact with
'ta rank and file Of the party. Walker Is
also regarded a. strong Reed man, and.
2 course. he Will be antagoniZed by the
-,I'uw.re Of Mckinley. and as he Is absO-
r,.iv unknown 10 the bulk Of the Re
publican voters of the State his chances
.il ,yt seem to be much better than
il.>, ~ Lamb.
Fur the same reasons Walker would
hardly b- named for the Virginia mem
t.rship - the national committee. ;"
tat 70 looks as II the party would have
20 take some Of the other leaders, whose
,sm,4 hay, not been so prominently mem
t.u,i as Lamb or Walker
HOW ABOUT BRADY
rolanI James u. Brady looms up next
as tte most available man, but IT is said
Hrs!y is not a candidate. and would not
rsy. the Craftsmanship. If II were offered
,o him ss he could not afford 10 give
+; bis present lucrative law practice.
Then comes Mir George Bowden. Judge
mlri Waddlll. Colonel Stith Boiling,
srf other lesser leaders. some Of whom
mav no found available to fill the two
political places left vacant by General
Aellr.s death.
