DAVIS MAY RUN
+ 0 R SENATOR
Virginia Governor Expect
ed to Enter Race Against
c. A. Swanson.

Richmond, Va. April 3.-Gov.
Davis is spending a few days at his
home at Leesburg, Loundon county.
recuperating from his labors Incl
dent to the recent session Of the
He still has nearly two
years to serve as Virginia's chief
executive. He is expected soon to
announce definitely whether he in
tends to run for the United States
Senate in the 1922 primary in op-
position to Claude. A. Swanson who,
it is presumed. will stand for re-.
election.
1t has been talked tbout the State
capitol for some time that he would
like to occupy a seat in the upper
branch of Congress. Should he de-
eide to run. he would make a strong
bid for the farmer vote. which
brought him victory in the three
cornered gubernatorial race in 1917
with John Garland Pollard and J.
Taylor Ellyson as his opponents.
1t has been said that the so-called
State Democratic machine of which
the late Senator Martin was the
recognized head for many years, al
though Ellyson was figuratively the
head as state chairman. was shot
to pieces during the governorship
race. This will be determined in
the gubernatorial race between
Frank Buchanan of Marion, backed
by the machine. and Harry ST.
George Tucker of Lexington. back-
ed by Davis and his forces. That
the machine received 4 severe blow
when Senator Martin died Is recog-
nized. for no one seems fully capa-
BILE of taking his place to carry on.
In the forthcoming race it is con-
ccded that Buchanan will carry the
Ninth. his home district, by an over
whelming vote. and also will COM"
out of the Fifth district with a
good sized majorit. In most
Of the other districts Tucker is be-
Iieved to be moro of a favorite, al
though it is probable that the or
ganization forces behind Buchanan
may stem the Tucker tide in at
least some of thes" and possibly
turn a majority in favor OF their
candidate.
