is extremely popular here. With fair
opportunity and wise leadership he might
reasonably hope TO develop great strength
I'm this section. But he enters the race
under many disadvantages.
The preliminary campaign for the nom
nation Of senators by the people has
been unwiscly managed. II Mr.. Martin
had been able 90 direct the fight against
his reelection the campaign mp TO this
time could not have been more favorable
10 his interest. The candidacy of General
Fitzhuph Lee kept other aspirants out
Of the field and put Mr.. Martins friends
10 work. I'm this way Mr. Martins cause
has gained great Roadway.
Again. after Lee was out Of the fight
public attention has been directed only
20 am abstract question: Whether our
senators shall be named by a primary
election. The people do not care for alb
stracuons
Mr. Martin has the prestige Of success.
Iio IS reckoned machine man"
he has never been defeated. These
things give him strength with those
commonly called practical politicians"
So long as the issue IS one Of personal
popularity Tyler seems likely to get the
hurrah and Martin 10 get the votes. but
II by any chance some question Of Do'iti-
cal principle or OF public policy should be
brought into the campaign. it will be diff
hcuit TO foretell the result. Such de-
parture on the part of the Virginia De-
mocracy is. however. wellnigh incon-
