CARTE" GLASS FOR SENATE.
Congrcs sman Carter Glass, OF Vir-
giuia, who was in Washington yes
crdav. rs stated in the Gazette Of that
day ma 10 what practically amounts
10 an announcement Of his candidacy
for the United States Senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF Senator
John w. Daniel.
Mr.. GLASS; statement foreshadows
big fight for the scnatorship next
year between him and Swanson and
takes Glass out Of the gubernatorial
contest in 1913
Asked concerning Il statement at
tributed to him that he had deter
nlnet not to be a candidate for the
Senate but to wait and seek the guber-
Material nomination three years hence,
Mr. Glass said:
Il have given no such interview,
nor have | arrived at any such con-
c'usioh. Frankly, / wanted to run
for g vernon OF Virginia last time, not
SO much from a desire to hold the
Office as from purpose 10 make 4
campaign that somebody ought to make
against methods that should not pre-
V il. Friends dissuaded me because
OF the curiously complicated conditions;
and / am not sure now that ! shall
ever again have the inclination to be n
candidate for governor.
Mr.. Glass was asked il this meant
tnat he would be n candidate for the
Senat next summer.
1t probably docs, " said he. Ger
tainly it means that | am much more
likely to be q candidate next year for
the seat made vacant by Major Daniel S
death than for the governorship i'll
1913.
But is there much encouragement. y
asked Mr.. Glass, turning questioner
with some heat, for anybody not iden-
tilted with machine methods to he a
candidate for anything in the state un-
| der the chaotic conditions created by
the recent decisions OF the Norfolk and
Portsmouth courts? The safeguards OF
the party primary were feeble enough
under the statute which these courts
have inyalidated Now, ii correctly
apprehend the decisions referred to,
there are no safeguards. The scoun-
drels who instgatcd aud tho creatures
who perpetratcd the recent primary
frauds in the Norfolk district 60 scot
free. That is shameful enough; but
the situation in which these court dc
cisions leave us is full OF peril to the in
tegrity OF the democratic party and tbs
good order OF the state.
Nearly 10 years ago | resigned
from the state executive committee
because, dominated by that element, il
refused to repudiate u brasen condition
down there, whereby the public Offices
! we're parceled out to men of both parties
who we're willing to be bene6ciaries O
political larceny The people OF thai
section who openly reyolted last month
and started right after tho rascals die
not act any too soon, and it is to be de
plored that the courts found legal lustl
fication for declaring unconstitutiona
the statute under which redress va!
sought for the impudent frauds so long
endured
| Congressman Glass was asked it hs
