Hon. James Lyons Taliaferro. iHeth-
her o! the House OF Delegates from
Gloucester county. Ia at the Richmond.
md when seen In the lobby last night
he ,mparted some very interesting In
formation concerning his section OF the
State.
Mr.. Taliaferro said he WAS here
mainly to take hand in tho selection
OF school superintendent for his
county. and when asked which OF the
numerous candidates was his favorits,
he replied:
~ am not committed to any ono OF
them. only wish to SEQ man chosen
who Is fit for tho place
What Is this we hear about the prob
ability o! your not standing for the
House OF Delegates again, but being a
candidate for Commonwealth Attor-
ney this year, the lewn,aker was asked.
II have already determined that mat
ter, and am In the race for the latter
once, he said. TT is very pleasant to
be UP here but from n pecuniary point
OF view l can i'll afford 1t. and shall,
therefore. not be a candidate for re-
election"
"who will probably come. them
II have not the slightest doubt but
that Hon. j. n. Stubs will be the man
understand he will run, and no ms-'
in Gloucester can beat him.
This will probably mean clear field
for Senator J. Be-. Sears for re-election
from the irhirY-ninth District, Will 1t
not?'
mot by any! means. Hon G. Z. T.
Lane, the present House member from
Mathews will oppose him, and / am
quite certain he will be elected"
From tho talk OF Mr.. Taliaferro 1t
would seem that the factional lines are
still sharply drawn In the Thirty-ninth
Z District and that II Senator Sears and
! Mr.. Lane shall both enter the lists this
summer strenuous fight may DC eS-
/ pectcd.
