Washington and later of Orange county.
Va. which county he represented in the
Virginia constitutional convention six
years ago as a republican. has been here
attending the postmasters' convention.
He Is now resident of Alabama, having
moved there from Orange county five
years ago. Mr.. Walter says that con-
ditions are prosperous in the state. He
did not care to say much about politics.
because of his official position as a post
master. but he admitted that there was
no candidate but President Roosevelt
talked about for the republican nominal
ton. Mr.. Walter will probably be a dele

and he predicts that no other name than
Roosevelt will be considered by the ma
tional convention until it Is settled beyond
question that the President can not De in
duced to take the nomination for an
other term.
