field to oppose Representative John F.
Rixey of Cufpeper, the democratic nomi-
nee. for a seat IN the House of Representa-
tives this fall. At a meeting of the repub-
lican congressional committee for the eighth
district. held yesterday at Manassas, In
which all of the counties excepting AleXan-
dria, Louisa and Culpeper, were represent
ed, 1t was unanimously agreed that the
party should make fight. The convention
| to make a nomination will be held In this
city September %. 1t will be called to order
"a noon. Up to the present the only name
prominently spoken of for the candidacy is
that of Mr.. NJ. X. Lowery of Stafford coun-
ty, who now represents that county and
King George in the state legislature. Mr..
Lowery has considerable strength in the dis
trict, having defeated his democratic oppo-
nent for the legislature by good majority.
The republican nominee in the eighth con-
gressional district, whenever one takes the
field, is generally looked upon as having a
| hard road to travel, the democratic ma
Jority being overwhelming.
