come up for reelection. and 1t is ai,o-
sether unlikely that he will have any
opposition
For the governorship two names are be
ing prominently mentioned They are
those of Northumberland Wizard
and Attorney General William A Ander-
son. They are both widely known and
popular throughout the State, and the
race promises to be fuli OF interest,", even

That the contest will be a lively one
Every well-posted politician looks upon
Coz e1ror Montague as strong competl-
ter for Senator Martins seat in the upper
branch of Congress. and the probability
OF a hot struggle between these old time
political antagonists is already being
freely discussed Unless the nomination
shall be made by primary. the aspirants
for the senatorship will have to go be-
fore the Legislature. which will be an
entirely new body, and they will likely
display much interest in the nominations
for half of the Senate next year. and
for the other half and the entire House
in 1905.
