almost solid congressional delegation
from Virginia as almost certain.
The delegation visited the headquarters
OF the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee. where they had a heightened in
terview with Chairman Faulkner. Mr..
Hay said the silver sentiment In his dis

he had visited was increasing every

an overwhelming majority for the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress in Novem-
Der. and IL was Mr.. Hays opinion that
the State would send a solid Democratic
delegation to the next Congress- Messrs.
Flood and Rosser agreed with Mr.. HAY
IN his prediction as to the result Of the
next election.
