/ turned here last night from Richmond

The determination Of the Virginia Re

/ than Senator Marcus A. Hanna and Vice
/ President Roosevelt. The plan was map
ped out at the recent dinner of the Union
League Club held in Philadelphia, and

Virginia Legislature
The first intimation that the Republi-
cans Of Virginia had that it was the wish
Of the National Republican Committee to
make fight In Virginia was at a dinner
recently given in Boston Here Vice
President Roosevelt preached the subject.
and said that owing to the present seem
ingIy disorganized condition of the Demo-

for the offices Of Governor. Lieutenant
Governor. and ATTORNEY General In this
way the Republican forces Will be organ

when the time comes to nominate candf-

The question Of the Pan-Americasi Con-
gress is still in suspense. but it ought not
to remain much longer in that condition.
II IS difficult 10 understand why a few
differences between individual members
should prevent meeting of the American
family as whole What reason is there
why certain local questions, previously
agreed upon, should not be eliminated
from the considerations of the congress?
In all matters vital TO the purpose and
success Of the movement, there is no
ground for disagreement Why cannot a
preliminary protocol be framed which
would serve to remove friction and bring
about cordial cooperation on all hands?
