ROANOKE, Va, Aug. 23.-Sur-
prise developments dominated the
closing hours of today's State con-
vention of Virginia Republicans
who nominated Benjamin Muse of
Dinwiddie County for Governor and
retained Maj Henry A. Wise OF
Kiptopeke as national committee
man.
Mai. Wise's resignation from the
post he had held since 1886 was ac-
cepted by the Executive Committee
earlier i'll the day, but when the
committee found itself tangled in a
three way fight over his successor
after adjournment of the conven-
ton. majority of the group pre-
vailed upon the veteran national
committeeman to withdraw his
resignation.
He said later that he was per-
suaded to act as he did in the in
terest of party harmony. In view
of the party's nomination of ticket
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and attorney general and the pos
sibility of a factional fight over his
successor, Maj. Wise said he con-
sented to continue in Office in an
4ffort to obtain united support for
the three candidates.

Redistricting Commission
Fovors Separate Senator
For Arlington County
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 23-With
only four and half months until
the opening of the legislative session
commissions studying score OF
more subjects are trying to get their
conclusions in writing for submission
to the Governor and the new Assem-
bly,.
The Redistricting Commission
headed by Senator E. r. Fuller OF
Richmond, has completed its work
and its report is ready for the
printer. Highlights of its recon-
mendations were separate Senators
for Arlington County and Roanoke
City and redistribution of six House
seats to the more populous districts
The reorganization Commission, of
which Delegate E. Blackburn Moore
of Berryville, is chairman. will meet
here Thursday and may be able to
determine before the week Is out the
nature of its report. The commits
sion has had more meetings and
taken more testimony than any OF
the other study groups, but the gen.
eral feeling among Capitol Hill OBJ
servers is that 1912 will not be year
of radical governmental reorganiza-
tion.
Fenwick Heads Tax Group.
Delegate Charles R. Fenwick OF
Arlington County heads another in
vestigating group whose report will
be of widespread interest. His group
is studying taxes on commercial mo-
tor vehicles, and some definite rec
concentrations on the subject prob
ably will be submitted within the
next couple of months. The COM
mission will hold another meeting at
the Capitol Tuesday.
There are separate commissions
studying forest conservation and re-
lated problems, oil and natural con-
servation, and the advisability OF
the State acquiring a field artillery
range. The latter subject. however
has been pushed into the back
ground by the Army training pro-
gram and the acquisition by the
Federal Government of vast tracts
in Virginia for military training and
maneuver purposes.
The Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council has raft OF studies under
way, and some Of the subjects it has
under consideration appear pretty
sure of action by the legislators. One
of these is probation and parole
along with proposed abolition of the
fee system for compensating sheriffs
and city sergeants and perhaps some
changes in the present Jail system.

as candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Joseph o. Ewing of New
port News for attorney general.
Mr.. Muse is a former Democrat
who served in the State Senate as a
member of that party before declar-
ing for ALT Landon, the 1896 Re-
publican nominee for President. and
resigning his place in the Upper
House of the Assembly. Since then.
he has taken an increasingly active
part in G.. o. P. affairs in Virginia
and published paper titled the
Republican Survey"
In accepting the nomination, the
nominee, who came to Virginia after
a career in the United States diplo-
.matio service, said he would not con-
duct a campaign of bitterness or
abuse" for there is no place for
those things in this grave hour of
national emergency. The spirit Of
national unity in the face of eX-
ternal peril I shall seek to encourage
and strengthen rather than obstruct.
Offers G. o. p. Program.
"At the same time" he declared,
1--WE are not going to blackout our
democratic system in order to save
democracy. The fact that the world
Is in flames does not remove the
necessity for constructive criticism
in the affairs of the State Of
Virginia"
The tangle over National Com
mittee climaxed a day of spirited
maneuvering by supporters of three
aspirants-State Chairman Clarence
r. Ahalt of Clarendon, T. x. Par
sons. Roanoke attorney, and Ryland
Craft of Gate City, a former State
Senator.
w. c. Deming of Front Royal,
elected temporary and later perma-
nent convention chairman, in his
keynote address elaborated on the
theme looking backward SO we
can look forward" and offered a
program for Republicans which he
said would mean great improve
ment in State government in Vir-
ginia.
Proposals Advanced.
Among important proposals he
advanced were abolition of the poll
tax as prerequisite to voting, aboli-
tion of the absentee voters law in
its present form, drastic revision of
the State tax system, including en-
actment of a homestead tax exemp-
ton; election of local school boards
by the people or the Boards of
Supervisors or city councils, local
administration of welfare matters
an honest" redistricting of Virginia
according to population, no differ
entiation between primary and Sec
ondary road systems, no diversion
of gasoline tax money, substitution
of wages for the fee system, to be
paid by local governments; penal
reform particularly aiding first Of
tenders, and election of trial JUS
tices instead of appointment by
circuit judges.
A resolution adopted by the con-
vention on recommendation of the
Resolutions Committee headed by
Lester S. Parsons of Norfolk called
for appropriation of the $6,500,00
State surplus for current expenses
and reduction of taxes by the same
amount, instead of it being set up
as a reserve fund, as recommended
by the State controller.
