Mr.. ingalls, says the effect of this was
to greatly decrease the tonnage OF grain

tiers and give the Virginia seaport a
heavier export trade. 1t Is predicted
that the Pennsylvania and Baltimore

1t Is stated that many, If not all. OF
the friend of Senator Martin will stay
away from the Senatorial Conference.
They have learned that a conference of
the most pronounced anti-Martin men
was held in Washington before the
convention was called, and they are
convinced that the movement Is de-
signed to defeat the Senator. The sign
ers of the call are mostly anti Martin
men.
These people argue that If the move
ment were not one intended to in1ure
Mr.. Martin, some Of his friends who
are known to be in sympathy with the
proposed change in the method of cleo
ton and nomination would have been
asked to attend the Washington con-
ference and to sign the call.

pulpit of the new Monroe Baptist
Church at Monroe Hall. on West Main
