When the state democratic committee
meets in Richmond tonight to consider
the situation in the state there will be
no occasion. 1t is conceded. to look into
the eighth district. inasmuch as no fight
is on against Representative Carlin of
this city. The republicans have failed to
place a candidate in the field and Mr..
Carlin will be elected without opposition.
Many other districts in the state will.
however. require attention on the part Of
this committee. and 1t Is for this purpose
that the committee is called together, al
though it Is announced that the meeting
is a regular one. Much attention will
probably be devoted to the fifth and ninth
districts where the party strife is reported
to be intense.
Gardner L. Boothe of this city left this
afternoon for Richmond TO attend the
committee meeting.
The election of r. C. l.. Moncure of
Stafford county member OF the COM
mittee from the eighth district to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
George S. Shackelford will probably be
ratified by the committee at the meeting
| tonight.
The members from the eighth district
are Gardner l.. Boothe, Alexandria; r. "A.
McIntire, Warrenton; Paul Garrett, Lees
burg; Raleigh T. Green. Culpeper.
