Picked As Man TO Make Run.

Washington, d. c.. July 5.--The Re-
publican campaign committee has
under consideration plans to make
fight in the Seventh Virginia District
against Congressman James Hay.
chairman of the House Committee on
Military Affairs.
Virginia Republicans. coming to
Washington, have represented to the
campaign committee that there is
some chance to defeat Mr.. Hay. on
account Of the Democratic dissatis-
faction towards the latters record
on the army reorganization bill. They
stated that II by some chance there
would be a Hughes landslide. It's effect
would be naturally be felt in Mr..
Hays district to his detriment, 1t was
suggested that the congressional cam
paign committee send some of its best
spell binders into the Seventh District
with the view of attacking Mr.. Hays
record on the national defense"
movement

the cities Of winchester and Chariot

declare that the Democrats to win
would DO compelled to rely on tho ma
jorities they will get in Frederick,
Warren, Clarke. Albemarle and tho
city of Charlottesville. They base
this prediction upon the results OF
recent Legislative elections in that sec
ton.
John Paul, of Harrisonburg. a son
Of the late Federal Judge Paul. Is
understood to be the man the Re-
pubiicans intend 20 pit against Mr..
Hay. There was some talk of run
ming an independent Democrat against
MFR. Hay. but this talk has died down.
Virginia Democrats in Washington.
when their attention was called to the
plans under consideration by the Re-
publican leaders, ridiculed the idea
that the @. o. P. can carry the
Seventh -yarg!nta District, even In a
year Of a Republican landslide. They
declared that 1t would require a big
reversal Of public sentiment to over
come the majority OF 5000. which has
been uniformly given Mr.. Hay since
1895. They also stated that Wilson Is
strong In the Valley Of Virginia and
Mr.. Hay Will receive the benefit OF his
strength in tho election. Mr.. Hays
friends do not take seriously the G.

Dear Mr.. Jones.

awful strain you are under to have
charge of SO many children, but, ac-
cording to Mazzy you have more
worry watching Mr.. Yoder than any
thing else. Isn't it strange? | un-
derstand though that Mr.. Yoder has
kind of settled down since the foot
pail season has started and l guess
ut Will relieve you of some worry
didn't think very much of the foot
pall game yesterday, did you. Mr..
Jones? Maybe the boys studied too
hard this week. There was quite an
argument at the gate before the
game started and l thought that the
two men were coming to blows. A
gentleman gave the doorkeeper a
half dollar but the doorkeeper did
not have the change, so the gentle
man gave him a quarter and asked
for his HALF BACK. Well when
the gentleman TACKLED the door
keeper for his HALF BACK, the
doorkeeper got mixed up and wanted
to give him his QUARTER BACK
The gentleman was real mad about
this time and he walked around the
LEFT END of the ticket box and
caught the gate-keeper off his
GUARD. He snatched the QUAR-
TER BACK and the HALF BACK
lifted them both up in his hands and
started away while the door-keeper
was yelling I've been TOUCHED
