FARMERS ARE ANXIOUS
FOR new RAILROAD

Newport News. Sept 10.--A. l.
Powell, one Of the directors of the
Newport News and Washington Short
Line Railway Company. stated yester-
day after his return from an auto
mobile trip along the route of the pro-
posed road that people In the twelve
counties through which he passed are
as anxious to see the road built as
are people of this city. He said that
he failed to find any opposition to
the building of the road and believes
1t will be one of the greatest assets of
this city when built.
Mr.. Powell motored from Newport
News to Washington in company with
]. f. T. Hunter. The two men
studied the country which will benefit
from the road and Mr.. Powell says
the project looks better to him than
ever before. He always has been an
enthusiastic supporter OF the plan.
The country tapped by the road lis
the most fertile in the State, Mr..
Powell says. The farmers are all pro-
gressive and prosperous and are
anxious for railway transportation
for their commodities, All vegetables
and farm products grown along the
route Of the road now are sent to
Baltimore via boat
Mr.. Powell believes that the rail-
way will be built and that the con-
struction of the road will be begun
In the near future.

FEUD OF REPUBLICANS

Old Guard and Progressives
Blame Each Other for De-

WASHINGTON. Dec, 15.--The old Tong
war in tho Senate between the old guard
and the progressIvos for control Of the
Republican party has broken out again
with an intensity rivaling the violence of
the 1919 revolution Tho armed truce of
the last two years is ended. Each side
is blaming the other for the Republican
defeat in November. and tho whrr OF the
grindstone sharpening the ayenglng cut
lasses for an open declaration of war was
fthe dominant tone in both camps today.
A The progressive group In the Senate ls
determined that the old-guRrd leadership

must go. The old guard is equally de-
terlnIned to stay. The progressive clique
showed its temper yesterday when 1t sup
ported Senator Moses h. ClRpp, of Min
nesota for president pro TEN, of the Senate,
against Senator Gallinger, the regular Re-
publican leader.
