The action OF hon A. {. Braxton in
calllog upon his friends to support SeDa
tor John w. Daniel for the Vice Presi-
dency has apparently removed an ele-
ment of discord from the State Demo.
cratic convention, which will be held In
Richmond Thursday. twas feared that
there would be contest between the
riends of Daniel and Braxton that would
result ia III feeling T1e letter OF Mr.
Braxton. however, will probably settle
The matter unless something il heard from
Senator Daniel Ii has been said hereto
fore that Daniel Ia not candidate Tor
the Vice Presidency, but that he will OF
decline the position II il il offered To him.

present conditions. that the convention
will instruct its delegates toSt. Louis to
present the name of Senator Daniel for
Vice President and to stick 10 him 81 the
