VIRGINIA REPUBLIcANs.-At the
meeting in Richmond yesterday of the
republican State convention, Norfolk
was selected as the place for holding
the State republican convention, and
March 3 the date. Roanoke was a
strong competitor, but the vote was 20
to 10 for Norfolk. A resolution was
unanimously adopted indorsing Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The selection of Nor
folk was a victory for National Com
mitteeman George E. + widen over Con-
gresham Campbell Slemp, who en-
deavored strenuously to obtain the con-
vention for the western district. Hugh
Gordon Miller, United States assistant
district attorney, and other Norfolk
citizens put in good work for the seaside
city. Chairman Park Agnew presided,
and Captain Asa Rogers acted as sscre-
tary. The only real division was over
the selection Of the place of holding the
convention, and from the outset it was
evident that Norfolk would win under
the powerful pressure of the State leaders.
