RICHMOND. Va, January u. 1911.
Are the interests to oppose the can
didacy of Senator Claude A. Swanson?
That is the question which is being asked
in certain political circles at this time.
and there is no reply by those who may
be in a position to speak.
1t is being pointed out that Senator
Swanson soon after he was made gov
ernor exercised himself in an effort to
compel the railroads of the state to obey
the mandate of the state corporation
commission when that body directed that
there should obtain in Virginia fiat two
cent rate for passengers. That case hung
fire for some time. and Gov. Swanson
was ready to force the issue and recon-
vene the general assembly to deal with
the situation. Then the roads decided to
comply with the order of the commission
and to test the matter in the courts.
This was done, the railroads winning,
but the determination OF the governor to
bring the roads to book did not suit the
fancy of the railroads, and they have not
forgotten his position in that famous
contest. Now that he is in the United
States Senate and Isl a candidate for re-
electiOn-rather a candidate for the NOM
ination before the people-there is a sug-
geStiOn in railroad circles that he Is be-
ieved to be inimiCal to them, and that
for that reason he will possibly encounter
the displeasure Of the roads when the
campaign opens.
Just how this opposition may manifest it
self Is not known and certainly the rail-
roads. cannot hope to elect a man whom
they may favor, for such support would
he fatal to any man who might have the
Endorsement of the roads. In case Rep
resentative Glass should enter the con-
test. and there is. every reason to be-
ieve that he will, there will be no other
than a vote on rights SO far as he Is
concerned. Mr.. Glass was a member OF
the constitutional convention which Gre
ated the state corporation commission.
and his own town of Lynchburg Has had
occasion to make many complaints con-
corning the freight rates and discrimina-
tons by the railroads which enter that
city. So that there is little choice be-
tween the two gentlemen on that score.

Prominent Alignments.

So far there have been many align
ments of public men on the senatorial
situation. Henry c. Stuart, former Gov.
Montague, Harry St. George Tucker,
former Attorney General Anderson and
other gentlemen have announced that
they will support Representative William
A. Jones of the first district in prefer
ence to Senator Martin These announce
ments have created no surprise. for they
have always opposed Senator Martin,
and the friends of that gentleman are not
disposed to view with alarm the trend
of affairs The supporters of Senator
Martin are not doing much talking, but
they are apparently willing to back
their judgment thus early in the strug-
gle, one friend of the senator Offering to
bet two to one at this time on the out
bet 81 600 at this time that both Martin
and Swanson will win. He is. however.
one of the strongest of the many friends
of the two gentlemen now holding seats
in the Senate.
Several of the papers of the state are
expressing the hope that the campaign
will be free from bitterness. free from
personalities and that 1t will be conduct
ed along lines that will review the records
of the aspirants since they have been in
public life. But this is regarded as ex-
tremely doubtful, and If the senators are
attacked there will be some lively and
paigners of the old school, have been on
the hustings for years and each of them
has developed a capacity to make a
speech-a thing which was not conceded
up to the senatorial campaign of six
years ago.

was some method in this with some of
them.
McGraws future place in the demo-
cratic councils will be interesting TO
note. A senatorship was his abiding
dream for years. The McGraw-Chilton
factional fight, strangely. may end with
the termination of the contest. for the
McGraw supporters credit Watson's en-
trance entirely with responsibility for
McGraws failure to land one OF tho
plums. They concede Chilton's claims for
recognition, but cannot locate any prevt-
Gus party work emitting Watson sud-
denly TO enter and walk away with the
high honor.

Some Startling Figures.

The annual report of the auditor of pub
lie accounts Is just out from the printer.
1t covers the usual subjects treated, all
dealing with the financial affairs Of the
Old Dominion. To begin with, the real
values of the state are fixed at S475, 672,
32o an Increase of some $75.O00OcO over
the preceding five years. The whites own
all but 27.369.525 of this total, that being
the amount of the possessions of the col
ored population. Richmond city returns
$7S,326, 500. which is nearly $35.OOO,COO
more than that of Norfolk, while the
county of Norfolk is the richest of the
counties. having an assessed valuation of
SIG, 81 500.
The criminal charges make an interest
ling study. The city of Richmond, twice
as large as the city of Norfolk, expended
$37 800 49, and Norfolk accounts for $4O.-
309.43 for dealing with the criminal ele-
ments. Isle of Wight, in the rich and
populous section OF tidewater Virginia.
cost $5O.13 for all criminal charges, while
Lee county. one of the white counties, de-
manded So, S13. 46 for the same purpose.
Perhaps the most unusual feature of the
report. as regards the dealings Of the
counties and cities with the state treas
ury, Is the disclosure that thirty-one of
the one hundred counties drew from the
state treasury more than 100000 in ex-
cess of the total amounts paid by them
to the general tax fund of the state. The
| counties comprising the fifth congress
sional district got more than $4,000 of
| this amount, not one of which paid in as
much as was paid out to them. 1t is be-
! lieved that the bulk Of this was paid out
| for criminal expenses.
| Under the road fund there was eXpend-
ed in seventy-five Of the counties $685.

not include the counties which had the

Clerk an "omcious Partisan"

The caucus was spirited and unevent-
full, except for the stir caused by the
charge that M. NJ. Nicely. clerk OF the
house of delegates and secretary OF the
caucus. was leaving his desk to lobby
among the members for Watson. After
this charge he confined himself to his
desk duties. McGraw had thirty-four
votes on one ballot. or Fix short OF enough

Washington. The man resisted the requ-
sition sent for him by the Governor of
Virginia, and ten days were consumed

Old Senators Quit Service.
Six of the members of the state senate
of last session. men who have achieved
prominence in the affairs of legislation,
have announced that they will not again
offer for that body. These are Senator
George B. Keezell of Rockingham. who
has been in the body for more than TWEEN
~ years: Don P. Halsey OF Lynchburg.
nephew of the late Senator John W. Dan
iel: Frederick w. Sims of Louisa. an emil

tersburS. a brother of the late Repre-
sentative Francis T. Lassiter: Edward +.
Holland of Suffolk. who has been given
seat in Congress, from the second district,
and John J. Owen OF Nottoway. who re-
signed his seat in order to accept posi-
ton in the Department of Agriculture.
1t is understood that Senator j. T.
Saunders of Middlesex will not again
offer. but this has not been confirmed.

senate after a service of some sixteen
years. he having been made adJutant gen

inaugurated.
School for Ball Players.
The Virginia League will this year be
veritable school for developing base ball
players. The magnates' have gotten to-
gether and fixed the salary list at $1,000
month for each club. but this will be
raised to 81 800 before the season opens.
This will cause a great change in all
the clubs, few of the old players being
retained. they receiving more pay than
can be allowed under the agreement this
year. Already some thirty or more men
from the amateur and semi-professional
teams of Washington and Baltimore have
been signed, and the belief is that the
scouts" will have chance to see posi-
BILE stars here before the season ends.
The teams will all be composed of young
men.

An Invulnerable Proposition.

The Watson Chiffon combination proved
invulnerable when the democratic caucus
met "Wednesday night. The surprise was
the choice Of Watson for the short term.
The Chiffon managers must have had
the situation we'll in hand, for they
staked their all on the long term. They
played good politics, as they have always
done in their democratic activity in the
lower counties. BY forcing Watson to
take the short term they gratifled his
ambition to have the senatorial prenX

carrying the state in 1917. il he wants to
succeed himself for a full term, and the
presumption is that he does.

were conceded. He was q candidate for
the long term only, although he received
seven votes on one ballot for the short
term from legislators who wanted to
Justify their course I'm opposing him and
supporting Watson for the six-year term
McGraw was the logical successor to
Scott. He was the party nominee against
Scott twice, he has served years as ma
tional committeeman, and through sun
shine and shadow spent his time and
means trying to bolster up disorganized,
disheartened party. taking nomina tons
for Congress as forlorn hopes, and in
short. proving himself tried and true
leader. His followers are very sore over
the outcome, and some of them may be
expected to resent it. Republicans con-

standpoint. and hope to make capital out

be in bed, but no amount of coaxing
could take her. At last father offered
to lie on the bed till she fell asleep.

heard-earned rest.
Ten minutes-20-half an hour, and
she was wondering when father would
be down, when all at once she heard
a soft, stealthy "pit-a-pat." Nearer
came the steps and then a little, white
