MANrtS AND WILLARD

az the day set for the Democratic
primary approaches Indications
which all along during the campaign
have been more or less apparent,
have pointed to the selection OF Sen
ator Martin as the probable nomi-
nee OF the party TO succeed himself III
the L. ). Senate. As the campaign
has grown older these indications
have increased in purpOrt ana
strength, until the junior senator :
calling and election now seems as
sured The campaign which has been
waged against him has failed oi ITS
purpose. 1t is not sanctioned by the
intelligent. conservative masses who
read and think for themselves ana
are not swayed by such appeals as
have been made i'm this canvass. but
are controlled alone 10y the facts as
they see them and by what they he
licve to he for the best interests OF
the State and country. 1t Is "A trlb-
ute therefore. to the enlightenment
and intelligence of the Virginia Dem
ocracy to predict that Senator Mar
tin will be- the choice of his party Tor
senatorial honorS.
In the fight for the govcrnorsmp
the tide is surely drifting TO Willard.
The conduct of his campaign has
met with the spontaneous approval
OF the Democracy. without reference
to whether members thereof were for
or against him in the beginning. and
now that his party is confronted
with the necessity of choosing rs to
whether he or Mr.. Swanson Is most
likely to defeat Judge Mann. whose
are regardedundemocratic
and impracticable. the drift has set
i'm toward the acknowledgements.
whose views. as TO the principles
Judge Mann advocates, are fearless,
plain and unequivocal. The Demo
Gratis OF Virginia love manliness. and
Mr.. Willard is manly. They abhor
the demagogue, and Mr.. Willard Is
free from any suspicion ofdemagogy.
and We look for Democrats To regis
ter theirsentimentsa accordingly. We.
therefore, predict the nomination OF
Martin for the senate and Willard
for governor.

THE WORK OF THE RICHMOND
GRAND JURY.

The Richmond grand jury, after
ten DAYS of rigid investigation into
alleged irregularities during the re-
cent municipal primary in that city
at the third precinct OF MOnroeward,
brought in five indictments against
parties charged with having VIC
lated the Barksdale pure election
law. The most prominent OF the
parties indicted is Alfred b. Williams.

which Mr.. Williams is indicted Is as

A LARGE wheat crop for 1905 is
promised The governments report
just made public, shows the condition
of winter wheat at the begfnning OF
April to be 91.6, as compared With 1875
at the same time in 1904, and s3.I as
the average of the past ten years. AS
the area under cultivation is 81, ,.l55, 900
acres, as compared with a little less
than $4,000, OOO in 1904, the chances for
a big wheat yield this year are excei-
lent, though much viii depend onatlSe
amount of spring wheat which is har-
vested. Wheat is NOT the country's
greatest grain crop. Corn is the i'm
perial product Of the American farm
For the past few years CORN has aver
aged more than twice as high as wheat
in aggregate valae. AS estimated by
the department. OF agriculture, the
value of the country's corn crop on the
farm on December L, ls04. was a little
over 81, 900, 900 000, while that Of wheat
was $51O, 100000. En- m0st of the re-
cent previous years wheat was farther
below corn in market value than ID
was in 1904. However, the favorable
outlook for winter wheat, which far
exceeds spring wheat in acreage and
production, is very pleasing to the
country,
