Attorney General Montague, Hon.

committee will be called within n short
time after the request is received. I'M
mediately upon the decision of the COM
mittee being announced Mr.. Jones will
declare himself q candidate.

interesting incident in connection with
the meeting of the Resolutions Com

to serve because Mr. T. NJ. Braxton, of
Newport News, railroad attorney,
was also Il member.
Mr.. Hughes said Mr.. Braxton was
his friend. and he had no objection to
him personally. But in the face OF the
denunciation of trusts and certain cor
porations, he thought no railroad at.

eatchel and went home.
