Just then two prominent Democrats,
| both Of whom have served with dlstlnc-
| ton in the Legislature. and whose bus1-
| ness brings them daily In contact with
| many voters, declared that they mad
| discovered a revolution in favor OF the
| young opponent of Captain Lamb WITH
| in the past twenty-tour hours. on the
| other hand, the Lamb people are dis
| posed to treat the candidacy or Mr..
| Wallace very lightly and declare con-
| fidentiy that their man is a sure winner.
| There Is a great deal Of talk around
| the hotel Hobbies and in other public
places concerning the probable appolntees
Of Governor Montague on the new Cor
poration Commission. A great many
names are being ravoraDly mentioned
and one that Is put In as winner by
most Of those who discuss the subject is
that of Mr.. John r. Edmunds, or Hail.
fax. Mr.. Edmunds made an early en-
try into the race and his friends, both
in the Sixth District and elsewhere in
the State, have spared no pains to fur
Their his chances before the Governor.
Colonel A S. Buford, of this city, is an
other favorite, and the appointment OF
these two We'll known Virginians would
cause no great surprise anywhere.
"GIass and Jones are going to make a
fine team in Congress-" said a prominent
Virginian at the Jefferson last night.
.'IIley have in them the stuff that men
are made Of" he continued, "and will
have a purifying influence on things
around the National Capitol The only
regret I have concerning Mr.. Glass ele-
walton to the National Legislature is that
it will entail the loss of his powerful in
fluence for good at the State Capitol,
where since his advent into the Senate
he has been q. veritab!e breath of fresh
air and thorn in the side Of all who
were not pursuing their proper paths"
On almost 'iyery hand brilliant career
is predicted for Ny. Glass at the National
CAPITOL.
.'The new primary system worked all
right in the Fourth District. except In
localities where efforts were made to dis
credit It," said Colonel Meade Haskirs,
Of Blackstone, at Murphy's last night.
a"Cf course there are objections to the
oian and It is far from a perfect cne,'
he went an "but wheno you CONSIDER It's
eminent fairness and its many safeguards
against frand. it beats the old way so
far that / believe it has come to stay"
Colonel Haskins praised Hon. r. G.
Southall, the Democratic nominee for
Congress in the Fourth District. and said
he had given the Amelia leader his hearty
support. He thought he would be re-
turned to Congress by fine majority this
fail.
