OF Indignation among genuine Demo-

openly shown here to-day when q

lard roundly denounces the decision
of the State committee and asserts
that a condition Is being reached IN
Virginia, where II will be wholesome
and beneficial for the Republican
party to be renovated and resusciated
In the State.
This statement. coming from a man
of strong and conservative views az
Mr.. billiard generally holds. created
something akin to a sensation in politi-
cal circles here.
Mr.. billiard was one OF the great
factors here which Influenced the best
element OF Norfolk 10 support Mr.
Martin for the Senate. He defended
Mr.. Martin against the attack Of G.

influence among men who stand high

No decision by the State COMMITTEES
In recent years has astounded this Sec
ton as has its decision in turning
down the majority report OF the fusion
Investigating subcommittee. especially
In view OF the known conditions IN
Norfolk county. and the testimony
taken before the committee.
Mr.. billiards. letter in part follows:
The State committee had an OPP
portunity to display disinterested fair
ness and to clarity the political situA-
ton about Norfolk. They started In
the right way by granting a judicial
hearing and giving judicial char
acter to the investigation, through the
subcommittee and then ignored the
judicial reports apparently for the pro-
lection of an association of once
holders.
ut Is such insincere and uncour-
ageous actions as this % the part OF
political organization that initiate new
parties and revive old parties. and We
may be reaching q condition in Vir-
ginia where 1t will be wholesome and
beneficial for the Republican party to
be renovated, and resusticated in the
