FOUR APPLICANTS

HAYWOOD THE POSSIBILITIES.
HOUSE ASPIRANTS.

X n Mo ND. VA Special
-, A'r.ady there Is some talk in polit-
ical circles over tho composition OF
the next General Assem- bly-tkat-i
the complexion OF the delegation from
TINS city Ia the upper branch.
There Ia no question that both SEN
ators Folkes and Hartman will be can
oidates for the positions which they
now hold. and they are already look
ing over the ground and paying at
tention to what their constituents de-
sire. They are both popular men,
evidenced by their election to the
State Senate four years ago.
Ihere is, however. considerable talk
OF other candidates for the Senate
Friends of Colonel Barton H. Grundy
are urging him to stand for the nom
ination, promising him their support
and influence in case he shall Yield
TO their request. Just what answer
he may have given is not yet public
but 1t is understood that he has agreed
to consider the matter and to let them
know later what he will do.
Colonel John S. Harwood. who has
served several terms in the house. is
another who is being urged to stand
for the senatorial nomination. The
latter has not indicated what he will
do. He has lately recovered from a
protracted illness and surgical opera
ton. and has not bothered about dis
GUESSING political matters up to this
time.
1t Is possible that other gentlemen
viii enter the race for the Senate, but
with the four named above in the con-
test the race would be one that would
bring out large vote and give some
interest to struggle that has not been
witnessed here for sometime The cleo
ton is some months off yet, and there
IS no telling what may be the condi-
tion when the time arrives for the
primary.
For the House there will be four of
the old men up for reelection. Mr..
James B. Casey, of this city, has left
virginia, being the editor of a publica-
ton Of the craft with which he is al
leo. He will not. of course, care to
return to Virginia to enter again into
politics. 1t is generally accepted that
Colonel Charles e. Wingo, Edwin p.
Cox, Captain John A Curtis will as
pire, and that Colonel Harwood will
be candidate either for the House
or for the Senate.
And in view of the fact that the
Anti-Saloon League will get into the
game next year and try for a State
wide prohibition campaign, and the
fact that two United States Senators
are to be nominated-With every in
dication that there will be four candi-
dates In that contest-it behooves vot-
ers OF the State to attend to the little
matter of paying up their poll taxes
and being ready for the fFeay. and to
give voice to their sentiments when
the primary is held to name the off,

porter last night:

MIR. Morgenthau exhibited a letter
which he alleged had been written to
his son by Miss Chapman, in which
she professed her love for him. but
said she did not expect him to marry
her. This letter further states that
Miss Chapman only desires his return
to her and that she will willingly
abandon her expensive apartment and
live in small room. if only he will
assure her of his love.
L found that my son was entangled
with this woman upon my recent re-
turn from Europe" continued Mr..
Morgenthau. Il Immediately took
steps to break off the affair and
packed my son away to the country.
! am certain the girl was impelled to
this action by her friends, despite the
fact that she recently signed a paper
in which she released my son from
any and all obligations toward her.
That paper is now in the possession
or my sons attorney and will be pro-
duced at the proper time"

Washington Cut on.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Special-
Eighteen months ago Washing
ton, as well as other parts of the
country, was suffering from the ef-
fects of one OF the worst snowstorIns
in it's history, cutting the Capitol or
entirely by telegraph and rail from
the rest OF the United States.
Shortly before midnight a snow
storm struck this city. which, while
IN itself does not interfere with local
traffic in the least. and has only re-
suited in from fifteen minutes TO half
an hour delay in train schedules
north and west. has practically iso-
lated the capital entirely by telegraph
to the north and west Communica-
ton by telegraph with points south
Is not seriously interrupted, however
At both the offices of the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph Com
panses 1t was said that the number
of poles between this city and BaIti-
more, particularly, carried down by
wind or weight of wet snow, is al
most as great as at the time OF the
great blizzard Of March "a. 1909.
Telephone communication with points
north of here is also entirely cut off.
AS with telegraph companies gangs of
men have been sent out TO repair
the lines, but il was said this morn
ing that IL was doubtful if communf-
cation with the northern and west
ern points would be resumed before
night. IL then.
The financial loss to the telephone
and telegraph companies by reason
OF the storms damage will be large
Street car lines are running with
out the least interruption. In fact,
were II not for the absence of tele-
graph and telephone communication
north and west Washington itself
would pay no heed TO the storm.
By noon today not more than a
couple of inches OF snow had fallen
since last night. but this. together
with the rain which fell at intervals
was sufficient TO weight down the
telegraph and telephone wires and
drag down poles at points outside the
city.
