Wanted! A Martin Man.

Among the straws which show the
way the current is drifting, it will be
interesting to many of our readers to
hear of Montague straw in another
county. A Staunton gentleman who
was visiting relative In Charlotte
county last week tells that the NOnta.
que sentiment prevails with such una
nimity in that section of the county
that his brother, who was on the
Democratic county committee. could
not find Martin man in that district
to put on as judge at the approaching
primary. He had himself been ap-
pointed one of the judges, but object
ed in the spirit of fairness to have all
Montague men. He was asked by the
COMMITTEES to name a Martin man, but
no one knew any, so he announced if
any good man of that way of thinking
could be found he would cheerfully re
sign in his favor. They we're still on
the hunt for the Martin man when the
StauntOn gentlngn left for his home
last Friday.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Regular correspondent

(FrOm our Regular correspondent
Washington, ID. G., July 8.-Presl-
dent Roosevelt has persuaded Elihu
Root, former Secretary of War. to ac-
cept the position of Secretary of State
and 1t is generally conceded that he
could not have made a wiser choice
from among the prominent Republi-
cans mentioned in this connection.
| Mr.. Root has, in the eighteen months
| which have succeeded his relinouish-
ment of the portfolio of war, as in the
many years which preceded it's assump-
ton, been the attorney for some of the
most fragrant trusts, but his conduct
| of the affairs of the War Department
affords ground for the belief that as
Secretary of State he will devote his
entire energies and abilities to the in
terests of the country with absolute
slngleness of purpose.
The selection of Mr.. Root for the
first place in the cabinet places a new
significance on the political situation
within the Republican party and is &C
cepted by many leading Republicans
as nnq questionable evidence that the
President hopes to make Elihu Root
his heir to the presidency. Even Sec.
rotary Shaw, who cherishes large sized
presidential aspirations of his own.
fears the result of Mr. Roots Access
sion to the secretaryship of State.
fears it so much that he is almost in
clined to give up the fight for which
he has already been making elaborate
preparations.
What becomes of the presidential
aspirations with which Secretary Taft
has been credited is not known and
MIR. Taft is not here to speak for him
self. but it is intimated by those on the
inside of Republican politics that Mr..
Taft will receive compensation in the
form of promise from MIR. Root of
the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme
Court in the event that Melville W.
Fuller is not sufficiently accommodate
ing either to resign or die during the
present administration. Mr.. Taft is
essentially a lawyer and he would
dearly love to preside over the Supreme
Bench. That is life position whereas
the presidency may not last more than
four years, cannot last to exceed eight |
In any event,-and besides Mr., Taft |
might not command sufficient support
to secure the nomination. whereas Mr.

that the majority of every local bar in

have the lawyers on his side, they are
usually loud takers and quite windy;
but the farmers, merchants, and bust
