STATE COMM1rTEE"S ATTITUDE.
The friends of Senator Martin arc
claiming to-day that thirty-one of the
members OF the Democratic State Com
mttec are opposed 10 the popular selec-
ton of Senatorial candidates. leaving
nineteen who favcr this method.
The promoters Of the conference. how
ever, say that there is no doubt that if
the May meeting is at all representative
in character, and adopts Il resolution
calling u:,on the committee to order Il
state convention the request will be
needed
Apparently, the confidence of the
friends OF Senator Martin is un-
shaken. They say he will win in any
method adortcd for the selection OF n
Senatorial candidate The letters re-
ceiNcd at the conference bureau here
however, show that the sentiment in
Virginia against Senator Martin is very
strong. Whether Il majority OF the
Democratic voters arc against him can
not be said, of course. In II popular
contest he would have few votes To
spare. of he won out.
