prospects considerably improved.

which represented Princeton in the inter-
collegiate games the following men have
been lost by graduation: d. e. Chaplin
and r. Il. Williams. III the distance runs;
j. l.. Crimes. In the broad jump, and c.
I. Tittmarin, In the shot put.
In addition. s. Rulon-Mlller has with
drawn from college for q year, and his
who ran the 1eD.yard hurdles, has also
withdrawn from the University.
The members OF the 1905 team eligible
TO compete are as follows: Captain W. n
Armstrong, in the high and low hurdles
r. G.. Runyon, In the quarter-mile run

may be expected from last years men
and the promising material in the fresh
man class. with consistent and faithful
work on the part of all. Princeton should
be represented next spring by track

necessarily for It's advancement. He pre-

tor Martin has neither friends nor enc
mics
Senator Martin is not one of those
whom Napoleon Bonaparte used to call
idealogsts.' He Is not enthralled by
ideas which have ceased to be vital
forces. 1t is rather pathetic sight to
see some of our good men clinging to
theories which, except in an historical
sense, are as dead as the mummles OF tho
Egyptian Pharoahs.
Senator Martin realizes that certain
principles of government once militant
and popular have been decreed against
by the arbitrament of war. by the judg-
ment of courts, by commercial conditions
and by the common consent of the ma
ton.
tical post-mortems nor does he weary the
air with rhetorical requlems over dis
carded theories.
His Fine Courage.
IT ought not to close this meagre
sketch without speaking of his fine cour
age-the quiet courage OF a man OF
strength and resource. the unhesitatng
courage of n man conscious of no In
trinity OF conduct or OF purpose. When
he sprang into public life 1t was not
to seek any small place or to engage any
mean adversary. He asked for the high
est honor, and, like the Dislnherited
Knight, his challenge rang bold upon the
shield Of gallant gentleman, who stood
highest In place and power, and who
bore a name more famous and more be-
loved than any other in this nation. He
won. Six years passed, and he won
again. Another six years passed, and
xhnr nt,f IN h In, h,.tlI to-,
and formidable opponent
ut was suggested that the Legislature
of Virginia had not represented the peo-
pie of Virginia, and that this time the
people must speak, not by Representations
but in proper person. Right cheerfully
did Senator Martin Join In this appeal
to Caesar. The campaign which followed
will be remembered.
when the evidence was all In the
people gave their verdict and they said
to Senator Martin: Well done, thou good
and faithful servant Here to-day we
witness the last act of that stirring
drama.
by the direct mandate of the people of
Virginia, and In behalf of tho Democratic
members of the House of Delegates,
have the honor to place In nomination as
senator of the United States from vlr-
gnia the name of Thomas Staples Mar
tin, of the county OF Alhemarle.'
Seconding Speeches.
When Mr.. Byrd concluded his remarks.
he was loudly cheered. and, Dr.. Dunn
of Albemarle. made brief seconding
speech, in, which he paid glowing
tribute to Senator Martins private life.
DIR. Dunn said the senator had always
enjoyed the fullest confidence among his
people, and he felt 1t a great honor to
boar this message TO the Legislature Of
Virginia.
Mr. Early followed. and praised SEN
ator Martin as citizen, soldier and DEM
ocratic leader, who enjoyed the absolute
OF his party everywhere.

enthusiasm by Jointly praisins Senators
