BELIEVE WILSON WILL WIN.
Virginia Delegates Feel Strongest
Man Has Been Nominated
as Candidate.

Richmond, Va, July 4.-Firginia
delegates returning from the Baltl-
more convention are we'll pleased with
the result, ard are confident Of sue
cess at the polls in the November ell
ection. In the light Of all that hap
pened at Baltimore, it is the general
opinion that the strongest man has
been named for the presidency.
The state of Wilson's birth put 1t
self in strong position by going to
him at just the time it was needed
on the very ballot whose trend speIt
successor failure for the New Jersey
Governor.
In Richmond the nomination OF VIII
son and Marshall is generally com
mended. At no time has there been
in Virginia a definate sentiment Tor
any other candidate.
Governor Wilson visited the state
last February upon invitation of the
General Assembly, and delivered an
address in the City Auditorium when
the members of the Legislature occupl-
ed seats on the platform. He won
MANY friends at that time, and en-
listed to the cause the services OF
Richard Evelyn Byrd, Speaker OF the
House of Delegates, as his campaign
manager for Virginia.
From that day there has been or
ganized and militant Wilson scnti-
ment. A good many counties, when
electing delegates for the State Demo
cratic Convention at Norfolk, instruct
ed for him. The only sentiment IN OPP
position was that for an unlnstruct-
ed delegation to Baltimore, with an
idea that a stronger position could be
there maintained.
Virginia members Of congress are
confident of the success of the ticket
and are ready to do their best for 1t.
So is State Chairman J. Taylor Ely
son, who returned to Richmond last
evening after attending the meeting
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee in Baltimore yesterday morn
ing.
The committee did nothing save APP
point a subcommittee to 20 through
the form of consulting the candidate
for president as to his choice Tor chair
manship. That choice is already de-
termined upon.
For some weeks past Mr.. EllySon
has been satisfied that Gov. Wilson
would be the nominee. At no time
during the Baltimore convention did
he have reason to change his OPINION
which was based on the cohesive force
of the Wilsonites. He expects Dem
ocratic landslide like that Of twenty
wears ago. when Grover Cleveland was
swept into Office by a tremendous ma
iority of both the popular and cleo
toral votes.

Professor De Vries Tells of His
Recent Experiments.
Eminent Scientist Plans to increase
the Size of the Worlds Food
Piants--NeW Species at
Once.

New York-Prof Hugo de Vries, d.
rector of the American botanical gar
den and the recognized dean of botan-
lists, lectured at the New York botan-
ical gardens on his recent observa-
tons and experiments in the mutation
Of plants. Many scientists attended
the lecture and lauded Professor de
Vries as the successor to Darwin
and great benefactor to the ma
tons"
Doctor de Vries, a man of about six
ty years, does not mind being called
q successor to Darwin, whose work he
has adopted. He would deny how
ever, that he has gone further than
Darwin in his understanding of plant
life. twas exactly the divergence be-
tween Darwin's conclusions and his
own conclusions that constituted the
subject matter of Doctor de Vries' lee
ture.
Darwin 1t Ia recalled, explained the
origin Of new species by the theory
of gradual variation Doctor de Vries,
on the other hand, while he admits
that there are no end Of gradual vari-
atoms in plant life, adds that new
species also come into being by
leaps and bounds" in single day, as
1t were. He explained his theory by
the exhibition of slides illustrating his
own observations.
The best illustrations of the muta-
ton of plants, Doctor de Vries noted IN
such flowers as the foXglove, daisy
evening primrose and marigold. In
his own experiments, starting with an
ordinary single daisy and keeping all
the seed and planting 1t, he noticed
second year daisies having twice as
many petals as they had the first year
and at the expense Of diminishing
center. Continuing the selection OF
the seed from the exceptional speci-
mems in each daisy patch he grew
within four years daisy which had
no center seed pods whatever, and
which had increased It's petals or ray
flowera during that time from twenty
one to two hundred. Needless to say,
the new flower did not resemble the
ordinary daisy at ALL and it remained
intact as a distinct species of fora
This illustration was evidence, Pre-
fessor de Vries maintained, of the ne
cessity Of increasing the yields of all
plants, so that the increasing popula-
ton of the future might not want. His
optimism in the. development of plant
life extends to wheat and rice and the
other grains, although he said he was
not yet experimenting in those fields.
Doctor de Vries is not riyaling our
)wn Burbank" said DR.. w. A. Murrill,
lirector of the New York botanical
;ardens, after the lecture. He stands
upreme in his own line Of endeavor.
lis experiments are purely theoreti-
al. Burbank tries to develop the big
est plums and the biggest potatoes,
ut de Vries tries to make two petals
row where but one grew before. He

anks of the future.
