OLD MEN TO DROP OUT
Some Senators and Delegates VIII
Have no Opposition at the Next
General Election. -.

|! Richmond, July 19.-From list OF
candidates for nomination as mem
hers of the State Senate and inc
House of Delegates in the Democratic
primary on August 3 it appears tra'
there will be large number OF ne"
faces IN the next General Assembly,
which convenes in January. In the
great majority of counties and sena-
torial districts where candidates nave
nor been declared the nominees with
ont opposition the Democratic voters
will make the nominations next
month. In a few instances prmarleS
will be held in September, and IN
some few counties the convention
system still prevails.
Fifteen members OF the present
Senate have been renomlnated with
out opposition, but from the other
twenty-four districts the candidates
will he practically all new men. Sew
eral of the latter have already been
declared the nominee.
The same condition prevails among
the personnel Of the candidates Tor
the House of Delegates, and the In
dications are that majority OF this
branch will be composed of new men.
Many of the delegates who were
prominent in the House during the
regular and extraordinary sessions OF
the last General Assembly will not
come back.
The advocates of prohibition will
have a safe working majority in the
House, and the Indications are that a
majority OF the Senate vii! be co7-
posed of men pledged to the enact
ment of such laws as will make pro-
hihition as effective as possible IN
the State after November /, 1916. In
other words, there is no doubt but
That the framing Of the statutes look
ing to the enforcement of the anti
LIQUOR verdict Of the voters of the
State will be ain the hands of the
friends Of prohibition" despite tie
pleas of the anti-saloon forces that
there is danger that the will of the
people will be defeated by uDfavora-
bic legislation.

SEES FALL OF KAISER.
German Empire Modernized Feudal-
ism, Says Perry Belmont.

Washington. July 19.-The down.
fal, of the German Imperial Govern
ment. which he characterizes as "mod
ernized feudalisn, heir inform anc
spirit to the despotisms OF the iniqui.
tous Holy Alliance" is predicted by
Perry Belmont, former chairman Of
the House Committee on Foreign AT,
fairs. in a statement issued today b!
the Navy League.
Mr.. Belmont declares that thu
Monroe Doctrine, embodying, as il
does, the ideal that strong nation:
shall keep their hands off the terri
tory and affairs of weaker states, ha:
become the universal expression oi
the aspirations of all free govern.
ments, wherever situated. The EN-,
bodiment of that ideal in popular sen,
timent among educated and enlight-
ened people all over the world has
become one of the strongest forces
working toward national stability
and lasting paece, according to Mr.
Belmont.
Continuing, Mr.. Belmont character
ICES the German Empire as a "fcdera-
ted union OF states. in form only self
governing, of which the economic
system is in form only democratic.
The whole industrial, intellectual and
commercial life of the German people
is subordinate to the i!eactionary in
fluence of the HohenZollern dynasty
and to that of the military autocracy,
whose feudalism is modernized only
in so far as is necessary to maintain
is authority and enable it to mold all
Germany into an efficient war ma
chine"
"a successful war;" says Mr.. Bel
mont, "might prolong the existence
Of such system. Unsuccessful wal
will mean its-what Bernardo
calls the downfall OF the empire
1t will also mean triumphant libe-
ration of the spirit and genius of the
German people from the yoke Of
Prussian absolutism.
"When millions Of men. returning
from lost battles and disastrous cam
paigns, realize the futility Of the ef-
forts into which they have been led
against liberty-loving nations. free
institutions and the republicaniSm of
Europe, they will be found in revolt
against government based upon the
theory Of the divine right. The theory
is not yet abandoned in Central Eu
rope, where the alliance of the two
Emperors harks back to the Holy AL
lance of their predecessors"
