PLACE VIRGINIA
AGAIN IN THE LEAD
Colonel Anderson Has Plan for
Bringing This About.
WANTS SOUTH TO BE FACTOR
SOUTH TO BE FACTOR
May Organize Club Here to Excite In
terest in National Platform of 1904.
SAYS State Convention Might
Be Held to Shape Policy.

State Senator George Wayne Anderson
of this city. has suggested a scheme
which. if properly handled. may place
the old State of Virginia once more IN
the forefront and make her again pow
.rful factor in shaping the government
taI policy of the nation.
When seen last night Colonel Anderson
talked In a most interesting manner con
ccr,-'ng the matter. IN which he pro-
poses to take the initiative, after getting
it il some definite shape.
His suggestion is that q central club
be formed in Richmond shortly for the
purpose of exciting interest throughout
the State in the national Democratic
platform of 1904. and that a State con
vention be held. say year in advance OF
tre national convention. for the purpose
Of outlining a policy for the party IN
its rational battle for the presidency
COLONEL ANDERSON TALKS.
.Nhv should not this be done" asked
the popular legislator. ''and why should
not the old Commonwealth again take
her place a q leader of thought in the
ratior's policy? This of all others Is the
opportune ard fitting time for US to set
the race for our sister States. We have
purified cur electorate and are just about
to launch upon new organic conditions.
and we should embrace the opportunity
= 1lich offers itself to blaze tbs way to
victcry and to make ourselves felt in the
affairs of the nation
Colonel Anderson believes that If the
Democrats of Virginia, after mature con-
sidcration, would formulate a proper plat
form and send it forth as the voice of
urited and enthusiastic Democratic
patty it would be taken UP and made
the battle cry Of the South. and that
that great section. under the lead of its
old mother, would go to the national con-
vention IN a position to make its in
| f,uence felt in shaping the party's policy
and that it would bring order out of
craoS and set the Democrats in posi-
! ton to go before the country on a plat
ror:r, of old-fashioned Democratic prin-
cipies
YET IN. INCIPIENCY.
! The scheme is. of course. in its incip-
fency at present. and until Colonel An
| derson has consulted with some of his
| friends and political associates nothing
! of a definite nature will be done. but he
Is enthusiastic over the matter. and
| thinks il by all means ought 70 be car
| rfed out While. of course, he regards
It as altogether too early yet to con-
| slider what should be the pol y OF the
| marty. still from his talk it could be
| gathered that Colonel Anderson is in
| favor of throwing cid issues overheard
! and of appealing to the country on new
| and popular ideas of government the
| nrorraee of the scheme VIII be watched
With great interest, as nearly every one
,-o,71d like to see Virginia become
nron,nent factor IN the nations councils.
