Suffolk, Va. Sept. 2.-{Special.)-State
Senator James N. Stubs, Of Gloucester,
believes In the legislative worth OF
Representative Booker, of N~ansenond.
He was here this week, and In talking
over the political situation with The
Virginian representative he said, in
reference to Mr.. Booker:
MIR. Booker is honest, faithful and
true to every interest, both local and
State; has the ability also requisite to
make a good representative. His pccu-
liar fitness to grapplc with the oyster
question is patent when you recall his
experience and observation on the Fox
Island investigation. He Is exceedingly
popular with his colleagues In the
House, and necessarily has a vast In
huence. Then n change will not prove
beneficial for the grand old county of
Nansemond. The coming winter the
Ttdewater people will need all the in
%1uence. experience, fidelity and ability
that possibly be brought to bear
against those who will urge dangerous
legislation to u oyster industry. !
do not know whether Mr.. Booker Will
V opposition In the Democratic party;
l hope he will not. I don't care who
may oppose him the Democrats can't
go wrong to let Mr.. Booker go back to
the House."
