(From Our Regular Correspondents FIG
II WASHINGTON, p. c., March 27.-The
suggestion that Representative Jones,
before starting for the Philippines. the
first of.July would make some speeches
In the senatorial campaign In Virginia.
Is followed by a similar suggestion Il, the
case OF Senator Daniel, who VIII bc OF
Secretary Tafts party also. But, While
Mr.. Jones would speak for Governor
Montague, Senator Daniel would appear
In behalf OF Senator Martin. 1t Is not
known certainly that either OF the gem
stlemen publicly advocates any candi-
date for tho Senate. Neither has said
whether he Will do So 1t Is likely, how
ever, TINT Mr.. Jones may make one or
more speeches In behalf yof Governor
Montague 1t Ia not thought likely that
Senator. Daniel will make n speech IN
behalf or a candidate, BUT 1t Is under-
stood that lie will take occasion to let
the people know that he believes 1t Will
be toSthe best interest Of tho state to
return Sena tor Martin to his seat ~
& Tho absence OF Senator Daniel from the
campa ign, which, while not between par
ties. will be the most hotly infested In
the history OF the State since the ID ays
of Read tusterlsm. will N be $ rem rka Bile.
The senator has taken u part In every
contest the Democratic party ha +. wa ged 4
since the war, and four year. II q &c he
came ont In favor OF tno nominati on OF
Mrs. Swanson In tho gubernatorial cone;
test. He does dearly lo&e the sound Sof \
a drum, as one OF his admirers expressed
|6it at the st. Louis convention speaking
OF the senator's love OF q fight. It is
more than likely atswere he to remain
IN Virginia this summer he would find
himself unable To resist the temptation
to take a. hand Tin the contest Tor the
Senate, and. probab In the gu ernato-Ss
