Hot Campaign Coming
In the Old Dominion
Contest for Governor and Senator 10 Last
Stand-prImary Nomination 10 Be Tried
in Full for First Time.

defeated, Swanson friends claimed it
was the burden Of Martin and his al
legged ma chine that defeated Swanson.
while Martins friends were equally
vigorous in the assertion that what beat
Swanson was his own lack OF strength
and Wizard $ money.
the aggressive campaign put up by
their red-headed candidate and the dis
gust of the people of Virginia with ma
chine politics,
AS a result of all this ill-feeling Swan
son and Martin are not as closely allied
as they were, and Swanson. in announc-
ing his candidacy, came out strong with
the statement that he was part ana
parcel OF no combination. but was max
ing the fight on his own hook ~ the
same time, 1t is not at all likely that
Martin and Swanson viii be unfriendly
TO each other when the campaign is on
Martins Strength
Senator Martins strength in Virginia
politics is his own. He has strong
friends and perfect organization Most
of his support, it is true, comes from
the politicians OF the State, men whom
he has helped out and who will stand
by him. not only for what he has done
for them in the past, bat also for Il lively
sense OF favors to come. For this rea-
son his friends claim that there is not
the slightest chance of Montague's de-
teating him by the whirlwind methods
he used effectively against Swanson
In tHe guDerndtoTiat fight four years
ago.
The Martin supporters are ever. watch
full, and vigorous workers Witha4. Tney
never let up, bat keep moving in the in
terests of the junior Senator from Viz
ginia, in season and out of season In
this work they are led by Martin him
self, who has shown intense energy
throughout his political career
Montague's Stock Up.
Since he entered the governors man
sion on January /, 1902, Montague has
had a hard row to weed. the coastitu-
tional convention Of 1902 gave him adj
ditional patronage, and, in the distribu-
ton of it, he made enemies, as was
naturally expected.
There was a time, not long ago. when
one heard more abuse OF Montague than
co1amendation. OF late, however, this
has changed, and one in conversation
with Nirginians hears q little of that
enthusiasm at the mention OF Monta-
of 1901
If. when debating time arrives. as it
will as soon as the warm weather be-
gins, Montague comes back to anything
like the popularity that was his own
four years age, the battle between him
and Martin is likely TO be memorable
enc. As q stump speaker Montague is
a great vote getter, while Martin has
so oratorieal gifts As an organizer
Montague IS q good one, but not the
equal of Martin.
The Montague adherents claim, how
ever, that organization viii count for
little in q straight out primary. The
personal popularity of the candidate Will
he the deciding factor, according 10
their view. In this case Montague has
a good chance TO win, because he is
an excellent mixer, to use sig
rificant political term, while Martin is
not.

Primary Plan to Be Tried.
As a result of the determined efforts

Martin. the last Democratic convention
adopted in full the primary plan for
nominating the candidates of the party
for all State and Federal offices. as OPP
posed 10 the convention plan, so long
in vogue. The fight for this was init
