Senator, With Westerner for

Strong Combination.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

RICHMOND. Va, February To-
Friends OF Senator Carter Glass are
taking fresh courage in their determi-
nation to force him into the limelight
as candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination. The develop
ments of the few weeks have served
to center attention on Senator Glass.
and the disposition now Is to make
combination with some strong man
from the west and to launch a boom
for the two, with Senator Glass at
the head Of the ticket.
These friends are insisting that
events are shaping themselves in such
fashion that he will be a commanding
figure In the convention. and that, by
reason OF his recognized ability, he
will be much In the running, with his
own state a unit for him.
To this end there is every indica-
ton that the Virginia delegation will
be q unit, under instructions to sup
port him, and. in addition, Senator
Glass will be one OF the delegation
at large from the state. The election
Of delegates to the convention is
being hotly contested in some places
and on this one point--that they shall
be instructed for Senator Glass-the

On Good Terms With Leaders.
There Is no man of commanding
importance in the state today who is
not on the best Of terms with the
senator. and he has the confidence of
the people Of the entire state. In case
he shall not receive the nomination
at New York the people OF Virginia
will this year elect him to succeed
himself in the United States Senate.
Several of the reported aspirants
for the governorship have been here
in the last few days, and when they
have been approached relative to
their candidacy they have suddenly
become very quiet. They are waiting
for the other fellows to do the talk
ing.
Senator Byrd is still receiving let
tiers from every direction asking him
to make the race.
The chances are that the Downing
bill, which has passed the senate. will
increase. the electorate by several
thousand votes.
