The important and quite unexpected an
nouncement is made to-dsy that the Vlr-
gtn,a Republicans will nominate legisla-
tive candidates in every county IN the
state this fall. This statement was MADE
In the most emphatic manner by Repre-
sentative Campbell slemp. of the Ninth
District, in this city to-day.
at has been decided to make party
fight for members OF the Legisla ture
he said. The subject had been under
consideration for some time. The weak
ness OF the Republicans throughout Nir-
ginia generally has heretofore precluded
fight being made in counties where
there was no possibility of our winning.
/ will say that since the adoption OF the
new Constitution and the resulting
change IN conditions. which makes a Re-
publican victory in the State almost II
not aui,e a. probability. my VOICE has been
for x fig HI every " re. sf .s
nd II, am glad my view has prevail
ed . added the representative, with
cheerful smile.
g..I saw the President yesterday. re-
marked Mr. Slemp. a little later on IN the
course Of the conversation. This seemed
TO me the secret'of the whole matter Mr.
ROOSEVELT says there must be fight,
and fight there will be. While Mr. Slemp
has all along been recognized as one OF
the Virginia Republicans who really
wanted to see his party win. It's equal
w. we'll known that the organization as
rule did not want many Republicans
In Virginia. The organization Is COM
posed almost exclusively OF ofhceholcers
and the more voters there are VINO cast
Republican ballots in Virginia, the more
men there will be to come to Washington
and demand rewards for party services.
WILL MAKE BIG FIGHT.
T suggested this to Mr.. Slemp.
..Jnder the party law we cannot re-
organize this YEAR he said. The reply
was significant.
II suppose that the announcement that
the Republicans are going TO make
fight for members OF the General Assem-
NV will stir UP the Democrats. re-
marked Mr.. slemp, and this time his
smile was grim. 1T ought TO. for We
are going to make them fight for all they
get. And you are going to see more
Republicans in the Legislature next win
ter than you have seen there IN twenty
years or longer
Mr.. Slemp said the meeting OF me
State Committee at Richmond on the
23d instant was for the purpose OF ois-
cussing matters generally pertaining 10
the party In Virginia
..And lay plans for the legislative cam
paign?" asked.
.Of course" he replied.
Mr. Slemp was accompanied by Cap
tain Nj. II, Calfee. of Pulaski, known to
hundreds OF Virginians as the quartermas-
Ter OF the Second Virginia regiment dur
ing the Spanish war These will recall
how The Captain used to stand for hours
under n broiling sun t the camp at Jack
sonyiIle and issue shirts and trousers and
shoes to the Virginia boys, did not
ASCERTAIN the specific mission of Captain
Calfee and Mr.. Slemps when they called
al the White House, They saw Mr.. Roose-
welt.
II am not as sunburnt as the Presi-
dent. said Mr.. slemp, when I alluded

nearly everybody In the State, said to-
day he believed Judge William Hodges
Mann could receive the Democratic nom
ination TO the Governorship next IAN ~, "
he wished 1t. The gentleman ~ question
does not advocate the nomination OF Judge
Mann. but lie believes majority OF the
Democrats of the State DO because OF his
attitude on the question ofthe sale or IL
nuor. It would be interesting to know
how Judge Mann regards his candidacy,
II is not known certainly that he has
aspirations to succeed Governor Monta-
