among the Democratic voters through

You may state that will stand for

said Mr.. Ellyson, in ansWer.to a Ques-
tion on the subject. ''but am paying a
good deal more attention to the elec-

matter Is out OF the way than to any
political fortunes OF my own. I have

Thinks Bryan Will Win.
Mr.. Ellyson Is hopeful OF Demo-
cratic success this fal,, and expects the
situation to grow brighter as the cam
paign progresses. His only avowed OPP
ponent for the nomination for Lieuten-
ant-Governor next year is Colonel
James r. Cation. OF Alexandria, a law
yer and member Of the House Of Del
jegates. Long and successful service as
State chairman OF his party, however,
has given the incumbent a strong hold,
and his friends are predicting his re-
nomination. In addition to being State
chairman and Governor. Mr..
Ellyson is also national committeeman
of his party for Virginia. All these
POSITIONS are honorary IN tnelr nature.
Indeed, neither Is accompanied by any
considerable. emoluments. The only
one that pays anything at all is that
of Observation-Disclosures which carries
IA per diem while the Legislature is
actually in session.
Mr.. Ellyson has been State chairman
for more than twenty years, and in all
this time he has never lost battle.
Mr.. j. N. Brenaman. the secretary of the
State Committee, is prepared to give
any information concerning party mat
ters during Mr.. Ellyson's absence
abroad.
