RICHMOND. Va, June q, 1910.
Representative Harry L. Maynard of
the second Virginia district has two OPP
ponents on his hands, but is not per-
turbed.
William A. Young, whom Mr.. Maynard
defeated several years ago, and Col. ].
Peter Holland of Southampton have en-
tered the lists. The primary will be held
in August and the campaign is already on.
Mr. Young goes into the fight with
much of the machine backing. This is
especially true in Portsmouth and Nor
folk. Mr.. Young Is a party man at all
times and under all circumstances.
Col Holland is a man of force in his
home county and said to be pretty
strong campaigner. 1t is believed that
he will WELD powerful influence in his
part of the district. He will draw much
of the opposition to Maynard and will
hurt Young more than any other man.
Mr.. Young will go into the fight with
q good deal more backing than is gen.
has been strong in the second district.
Some Of the most astute party men in the
state are arrayed against Mr.. Maynard,
due to the declination of the representa-
tive to do certain things that were re-
garded as the duty OF a congressman to
his constituents.
Mr.. Maynard knows that he has a fight.
But the fight will not be nearly SO ag-
gressive and costly as would have been
the case with no one against him save
Mr.. Young.
The latter announces that II he is de-
feated by the voters he will take of his
coat and help elect Mr.. Maynard Or who
ever may receive the nomination.

The dominant party has promised the
people of the state the single list. The
majority of the board is chosen bv the
senate. and there are persistent reports
In circulation that they have been sound
ed and are in line for allowing the vari-
Gus local boards to make a selection.
If that Is done the action of the board
will be attacked In the courts on the
ground that the constitution charges the

Hubbard's Fight on Scott.

When Hubbard firstlaunc he'd his sena-
torial contest against Scott there was re-
greet among his friends because he did
not have an issue, and many of them
counseled him to take advantage Of the
vote accordingly At that time the inde-
pendent voter seemed to loom large in
the foreground, for the agitation against
CannoniSm was then raging f1ercely.
Hubbard voted with the insurgents
against the appropriation for the Speak
er's automobile. but stopped there. He
explained in individual letters to inQuir-
democrats without a commission from
his party. To other inquirers he ex-
planned that the sentiment in his indus
trial district was not anti-Cannon.
Hubbard endeavored nevertheless to
create the impression that he was an in
dependent But in the absence Of any
distinct sentiment worth while, he profit
ed little by this role. and in the battle of
the primary ballots Scott beat him worse
than any man was ever beaten who aspir-
ed to office in West Virginia.
West Firginias dominating influences
are commercial. 1t is an industrial
state. Its leaders look at a proposition
from the business side. 1t is a high
tariff state. No democratic platform will
call for revenue tariff alone and eX-
pect many votes or any substantial help

glasses because their investments are

Senator Zilliken's Canvass.

Senator Henry Zilliken Of Brooke has
started a canvass of the first congress
sional district for the democratic congress
eional nomination. receiving assurances of
the support of Lewis Bennett Lewis
county, late candidate for governor, who
had also been spoken of for Congress. 1t
10 reported that Ziliken promised in re-
turn to vote for Bennett for the United
States senatorial nomination in legisia-
tive caucus. Zilliken won in a district
composed OF three republican counties
two years ago because the liberal element
thought Cree, the republican. would vote
for prohibition. He is hard worker and
will hustle for votes one at a time in
stead of depending on oratory, for he is
not in BrutUs' class.
Otherwise the democrats have not vet
begun to show the optimism they are sup
posed to have this year, but their primary
and convention dates may stir UP other
candidates.. The attempt to get together
a quorum of their first district committee
the other day was a failure.

The Seating of Parsons.

Men of political acumen are declaring
that the report OF the committee favor
ing the seating Of John M. Parsons of
Grayson, as member Of Congress from
the fifth Virginia district, is for the sole
purpose Of distracting attention from the
contest in the ninth district. and an eff
fort to prevent the centering of the
politics of the state in that section.
Mr.. Parsons, who served one term in
the senate, Is certain to be a candidate
in opposition to Judge Saunders this fall.
Judge Saunders has already been nomi-
mated, and Mr.. Parsons will be within a
short time.
The politicians see in the report of the
committee q determination on the part
of the republican organization to draw
the fire of the democrats and to scatter
it into two districts, and to pay some
attention to the fifth district. They de-
clare that the republicans will have an
abundance of money, can import all the
speakers they want and keep enthusiasm
aroused in the ninth and compel the
democrats to split their forces.
Parsons is one OF the men who made a
vigorous protest to the President in his
appointment of a marshal for the west
ern district Of Virginia and q postmaster
at Staunton. when Brown Allen and Full
swapping jobs.
Parsons is one Of the best campa!eners
in Virginia. He Is handshaking, hearty.
approachable man. a lawyer. has a fine
practice and has been q shrewd business
man. He Is wealthy and one of the most
popular members Of the minority in the
general assembly.

Scandal in First District.

The last of the counties has voted in the
first district. and Charles z. Carrigan OF
Marshall county will receive the nominal
tion for Congress over Ogden, his nearest
competitor. The Rev. Archibald Moore,
q poor third, in an interview. roasts the
character of the primaries in six of the
eight counties. Many people agree with
him as to things in Ohio, Wetzel. Marshall
and Marion. Charges and counter charges
fill the air. and the congressional commit
tee can stir up pretty mess if it decides
TO lift the Id when il meets. The lead
ers hope the charges of repeating, ballot
box stuff1ng and fraudulent counts will be
allowed TO die. The trouble in Marion
was that there were two primaries on
succeeding days under the auspices of
rival committees and the vote given out
BY each committee several days later was
Indeniably inflated by each to give the
impression that its primary received a
greater Endorsement from the rank and
nile.

Hubbard Gets Three Counties.

About all the counties in the state have

grounds Senator Scott has now no fear

But Scott and about every body else won
Gers why Hubbard insists on keeping up
the fight. Ex-Gov Dawson Is blamed for
this. on the theory that he hopes remotely
for deadlock. all or which suggests an
attempt TO induce enough republicans to
remain out of caucus, with a probable
combination with democrats, to elect some
republican other than Scott. The attitude
OF Hubbard in sticking II out as candi-
date with only one prospective vote back
of him also suggests to some that he
hopes friends OF his will vote against the
legislative ticket in all the other coun-
ties carried by Scott. The anti-Scott men
have q faint hope also of support from
nominal Hubbard men who were nominal
ed in counties where Scott received popu-
lar Endorsement II is hardly believed
these men will vote counter TO the obliga-
tons imposed by the popular vote.

West Virginia republicans are evidently

Virginia republicans that Cannon has
had his day as head of the House, but
they refused either to take kindly to the
anti-Cannon suggestion or take seriously
the Aforementioned candidates.. AS far
as Ogden was concerned, the voters re-
fused to get excited over the Cannon
feature. They were Indifferent on that
score or else used it TO attack his repub-
licanism, which was admissible, because
he was originally a democrat.

Election of Senator.

Virginia will vote for one United
States senator next year. Senator Mar
tin will be candidate for reelection.
Under the laws of the democratic party
the candidate receiving the highest
vote in the party primary would be the
choice Of the members Of the general
assembly.
There will be no OPPOSITION to Senator
Martin. He will be a candidate for the
nomination, and will, 1t is believed, for
the first time in his life enjoy the dis
tinction which has been regularly given
to Senator -Oaniel-have a clear field.
Senator Martin is the only man who
has defeated three former governors
for his position. He first defeated Gen
Fitzhugh Lee. Then he defeated Coz,

feated Gov. Montague.
