In the primary recently held In the
Tenth Senatorial District. which had been
declared Irregular owing TO use of the
ballot instead OF the viva voce plan. the:
nominations made at the same time for
the House of Delegates in Shenandoah
and Frederick counties seem to have been
overlooked. In Frederick county Hon.
r. c. Jordan, incumbent, was renoml-
mated practically without opposition, and
will be reelected without difficulty. Mr.,
Jordan has represented his county In the
House for several terms, and Is one of the
Influential members of the House,. Dur.
Ing the current session he assumed espe.
cial prominence by reason Of his proposed
and still pending oyster legislation. II
was as result of his determined effort
to secure an investigation Of the status
of this important inquiry that q legs-
latlve commission was appointed to go
over the territory and ascertain how
much depleted oyster rock there Is within
the limits OF the Baylor .geodetic survey
that may be ndvantageousy leased 8 to
oyster planters by the state, thus, as
he contends. preserving and renewing the
oyster Industry and enlarglng Its scope,
and at the same time bringing In hand
some revenue. M
In Shenandoah county Mr.. G, M. Chlles,

Tho denomination OF Delegate James g,
friends generally. He is the incumbent,
this being his first term, He was re-
lurned practically without opposition.
Hon, r. B, Davis. of Petersburg. will
not aspire to re-electlon Mr., Davis was
prominent In the recent session of the
House by reason of his position as rank-
ing member Of the Courts of Justice
Committee, which tried Judge Campbell
and because of his high ranll as a lawyer.
There are several asplrants for the nom
inatIon. ana tho indications are that
petersburg will maintain Its reputation
for sending strong men to the General Ass
sembly. Already there are three asp
rants for the honor. They are Messrs
Charles r. Plummer, Bartlett Roper, Jrn
and II. Fl. p, Leigh.
Tho denomination OF Delegate N, B.
Early, Jr., in Greene. and Madison. Is
very gratifying to the many friends OF
thnt genteman In this city. Mr., Early
is one OF the quiet members of the House,
and though he has been member for
several terms, Is seldom heard on the
floor. He Is generally OH hand where
there is any voting to be done,
In the Plttsylyania primaries the re-
sult has not been positively nscertained.
Former Delegate Gregory Is one of those
nominated, Delegate John r. Taylor is
another who ran, but his nomination Is
mot yet positively announced,
