Richmond, va, April 4.-The inter-
view published in the Dispatch this
morning. in which Senator Daniel de-
clared against primary plan of choos-
ing n Senatorial candidate so far as
making such plan apply to all the
counties. created the greatest interest
acre.
It would not be correct to state that
the views expressed by the Senator
created surprise. These who oppose the
movement have all along claimed he
also opposed 1t. Those in sympathy
with it have feared so and. almost
knew SO. They do not regard the Sen
ators attitude as any other than one
of opposition to the movement, though
qualified
1t is pointed out that it is not possible
to carry out Il plan framed in accord
ance with the views of Senator Daniel
that each county in the State must de,
eide whether it will have a primary
for the purpose of selecting a candidate
for the Senate. a State convention,
composed of delegates regularly ap-
pointed, is argued to be the only prac-
ticable method of settling the ques-
ton, and one III full accord with Dem
ocratic tradition and polity.
Opponents of the primary plan. upon
the other hand, insist that Senator
Daniels view is the only one which
can be taken by those who believe in
the old Democratic doctrine of home
rule. They hold that every county in
the State must choose whether it will
have the primary, whether such plan
be easily practicable. or not. They in
eist that this Is not a case in which
majority rule should obtain.

locations of summer schools for teach
ers had been selected:
The Summer School of Methods, at
! Roanoke; Normal Schools for white
teachers, at Pulaski and Frederieks-
burg, ard for colored teachers, at Pc-

Owing to the fact that the School OF

miles distant Mr.. L. c. Glass, superin-
tendent Of the former school. fears he
Will not be able to bring the attendance
up to the usual 500 mark. An effort
Will be made to induce the Pulaski peo-
pie to consent TO have the School of
NieliouS anu iHc HOTlIlul promised them
Tor this year, consolidated at Roanke,
with the understanding that next year
one OF the summer schools shall be
located at Pulaski. Mr.. Glass will go
up TO Pulaski in a day or two TO look
into this matter. Mr. Glass selects the
location of the School Of Methods and
the State Board Of Education that of
the normal schools. hence the location
of the two so close together.
