Manchester Bureau. Times-Dispatch,
No. 1902 Hull Street.
1t was reported that the Republic
cans in this district would hold a con-
ference In Manchester yesterday or to-
day with reference to selecting can
didate to oppose Mr.. Willis c. Pull
liam for the House Of Delegates. Up
to this time nothing has been heard
OF the conference, but II is an assured
fact that the Republicans will place
a man in the field. Indeed, 1T was evil
dent that they were playing good poll
tics when they worked for Pulliam In
the primary Thursday, for Powhatan
county alone has almost as many votes
as the entire district polled. and large
number of these are Republican. Should
any one be put up, therefore, the re-
suit might be surprising.
Only one name has thus far been
men toned in connection with the Re
publican nomination. and that is Mr..
overton Davis, of Powhatan county.
