ALREADY the hosts of ''out," ar,
beginning to make trouble in The
ranks of the Montagueites since they
md that they may have full sway in
Virginia matters polite. Hungry can
didates are bobbing up everywhere,
FOR the position of Attorney General
down to applicants for positions on
the various boards that are at the
disposal of the one who occupies the
governors chair. That there will be
many disappointments goes without
saying, and it will be interesting to
an onlooker to see how the CRAFTY
man soon to be at the helm will
deploy his forces. Though late in
the campaign it is recognized by all
and admitted by some of his sup
porters that he played politics with
vengeance in many of the school
appointments; also that he failed
in the denial that he mad traded
to get into the Attorney Generalship
chiefly because the charges of Messrs,
Swanson, Hay, James and others he
found would be substantiated bv
certain honest men whom he quietly
appealed to to support his denial.
That he has = splendid record of
going back on his friends is also
plain, and now we shall see what
his future record will be. It is
pretty safe to assume that before n
twelve-month passes he will have
established firmly in the minds of
the people what manner of man he
Is. Before his term is out we shall
also probably see him, in reaching
Tor higher jobs, lock horns with big
guns who are now his sponsors.
