The situation as regards the faotional
fight In Democratic ranks IN the Ienth
Senatorial District. composed a OF the
counties Of shenandoah and Frederick
and the city OF Winchester has grown
acute, and Interesting times are anticl-
pnted before the final contest is over IN
November. In the face OF the recent ac-
ton OF the Democratic State Central
Committee. which declared n favor Of
the general primary plan, the County
Committee OF Frederick proceeded TO
hold d primary for State Senator on
yesterday, and II the action Of the State
organization Is not reversed, tho result
achieved hereunder was clearly YOU.
1t means that two Democratic candidates
will almost certainly DO In the field at
the general election In November, ~
REASONS SET FORTH.
Under the leadership Of Mr., R. o.
Byrd, who Is regarded as one Of the most
astute political leaders Mn the Northern Northern
Valley section. the Frederick County
Committee has prepared O document IN
reply to the resolutions OF the State Cons
inlittee. 4 in which the reasons for the
action OF the former body are set forth.
" Hon, J.E8 Taylor I1llyson, chairman "
( the State Democratic Commlltee, mas re-
turned from q trip of several days through

ferring with Democratic leaders,
e. Mr.. Ellyson 10 pleased poth WIN VIZ
outlook for Democratic success ms ta!l
and for q big registration OF tho voters.

Frederick County Committee yesterday.
saying he had no official knowledge OF
any such action. ~ AZ
Nominations for the General Assembly
are very slow this year, and az lntlninted
before, tlereiis very little desire III lnahy
sections TO be chosen for TINS hpnpr. !. q
larger proportion than ever before OF Tue
old mem bers will retire, without sven m
effort to be renominated. The fact tina;
nominations are now going begging may
or may not be due to the fact that the
General Assembly will only draw sixty
DAYS per diem hereaf ter, unless an extra
session be called, which does not seem
likely in the next legislative term, and,
Furthermore, now that railway passes ana
other franks, such as telegraph ana e&-
press privilege, are cut OIL, seat IN the
General Assembly Is only worth S24O and
mileage for the two years term, or JUST
S1oO and mileage for each year.

chosen, but up to this time but two have
