ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 8. 1901
The question of whether the eighth con-
gressional district, Of which Alexandria Is
a part, will furnish one or two candidates
on the democratic state ticket Is occasion
Ing much interest in this section. 1t Is
generally believed here that Fairfax county
will be represented on the ticket In the per-
son of Col. Joseph E. Willard of Fairfax
Court House, the leading candidate for lieu
tenant governor. One of the prominent
candidates for attorney general is State
Senator j. L. Jeffries of Culpeper county,
which is also in this district Mr. Jeffries
has been before the people as candidate
ever since the campaign opened, and has
the pledged support of many of the dele
gates now chosen. 1t has been stated that
II the nominating convention should select
MT willard, whose nomination seems as
good as assured it would be likely to drop
the other In favor of some man from an
other section of the state in order to secure
a geographical distribution of party rep
resentation Despite this argument. how
ever leading local politicians affirm the be-
lief that both Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Jeffries
VIII be nominated. There is no doubt that
both candidates have the hearty support
OF democrats in this district.
At one time in the campaign the name of
Mr. James K Cation of this city was men
toned for the nomination of lieutenant gov
ernor Mr.. Cation was a warm supporter of
Representative Swanson for governor
since the stock Of Mr.. Swanson has SO ma
neard OF Mr.. Catons candidacy, and it Is
not believed that his name will be placed
before the Norfolk convention.
