ARE ALL At SEA
As To NOMINEE
Republicans Want to Get Affairs
in Shape Before Making
Nomination.

Within the next few days a meet
ing of the republican committee OF
the Third Virginia district will be
called to meet after August is. at
which time a district convention, to
take place the first week 81 Septem-
Der tor the purpose OF nominating
candidate for Congress, win be
asked for.
The affairs OF the followers Of the
q. .. +. in this district are said to
he in a muddle and the leaders are
very much up in the air" An at
tempt al reorganization OF the party
in THIS district VIII be necessary be-
fore any action looking towards the
selection OF man to oppose the
democratic nominee viii be taken
Although several names have been
mentioned among the republican
ranks as likely candidates. there has
been no positive announcement in
this connection.
The outcome Of the democratic pri-
mary August is anxiousiy awaited
1T Is believed that this will have a
strong effect on the republicans, whe-
Their they Will put up a fight. II Cap
tain John Lamb again secures the
endorsement OF the democrats, there
Is every reason 10 believe that the
republicans VIII not enter the lists
On the other hand. If Judge r Ash by
WlCkham defeats Captain Lamb for
the nomination. it is likely that the
republicans viii again make a fight
to seat their choice.
This district has always been con
coded to be the greatest stronghold
of the democrats in Virginia. and the
republican who is willing to bear the
standard of his party is always GER
tain Of overwhelming defeat Never
theless, there are plenty Of men wht
are willing to run for Congress In
the hope of landing a juicy Fedora
plum.
But In this respect republican can
didates in the Third and Second dis
triCts were led astray at their las
attempt at office seeking. John u
Luce, who was defeated in this dis
triCt. was considered a strong mar
for the appointment as United State!
marshal for Eastern Virginia, but THU
went to Charles g. Smithers. of cape

ISLANDER IN A PRAYER.
Farmer of Illinois Has Brought Suit
Against His Pastor.

Some one has said with much truth
that the New England town meeting.
about which many students of politi-
cal organizations are 81 enthusiastic,
would have amounted to little but for
the New England prayer meeting. In
which young men learned to think on
their feet in giving experiences" or
in praying aloud. Public prayer be-
came. in o wholesome sense, a men,
tai exercise as well as a spiritual out
pouring, Some Of us can remember
that 1t also came to be an expression
at times OF righteous indignation. not
altogether general in its application.
In the good old days when the 'elec-
ton sermon" was a p over. the min
listers scored wrong, and. by direct
implication, scored wrong doors, In
their applications before critical and
interested listeners.
This element of the older New Eng
land life Is a persistent one in the
country villages: and in the parts of
the middle West. where New England
people give the dominant tone to
church thought. prayer almost as mi
natory as the 109th Psalm, is not un-
known, For example, at Neogas ILL.,,
