BULL MOOSE FOR
FUSION IN NINTH?

BRISTOL. VA. May 26.-With
prominent mem bers of the Progress
sive party of the Ninth Virginia con
gressionai district present, the execu-
tive committee of that party held
meeting at Hotel Bristol to discuss
y hat course would be most advisable
In the approaching campaign for con-
gress.
After being in session more than
three hours behind closed doors, the
committee adjourned. The only
statement given out for publication
was that n majority OF the Progress
sives present were in favor of calling
a convention. 1t was decided, how
ever, that in advance Of action look
ing to nominating convention a
general conference Of members Of the
Progressive party in the district
should be held and the committee
voted to call such a conference, to be
held at Norton, in Wise county, on
June 9th 1t is expected that this

the Republicans. and ii is believed
that this may come mp as a definite
proposition at the Norton conference.
There are several aspirants for the
nomination. including Senator John
c. Noel. Of Lee county, and Dr. j. VI.
Dougherty, of Scott county. DR..
Dougherty was prominently mention
cd two years ago and there still seems
to be a strong sentiment for him
among both Progressives and Repub-
liCans There is still persistent talk
about Mr.. Siemp being made the
nominee of the two parties in fusion,
bat II is insisted that Mr. Slemp ex-
poets To Keep out Of the race.
The situation Is especially inter-
eeting to the Democrats, who have
nominated r. Tate Irvine, and are be-
hind him as united party.

over todays meeting. while the pro-
ceedings were recorded by j. L. Rose,
