' NORFOLK mm '! TO OPPOSE MRRTIN BIT TIDEWATER ORGANIZATION wnx SVPPORT SENATOR « SWANSON. THINKS MR. ( DEAL. ■ The Norfolk Democratic machine will oppose. Senator Martin In the United Stales senatorial primary next aummer and will lend itn support to either narry 8t. George Tucker or Congressman William A. Jones, of the First district. At the aame time, the Norfolk ma chine will back Senator Swanson against Congressman t arter Glass, ot the Sixth district, or any other man that may come out against trio rormer governor from Chathnjn. This political forecast is based on Statements mode by Legislator J. T. Deal, of Norfolk, who ■ ame up to Richmond Saturday night and regis tered at the Jefferson. Organism^ n Democrats In his home town, he hh\s, still feci very sore to ward Senator Martin for throwing them down, as they believe, In the primary investigation last fall, and un leas sentiment shifts very much be fore next summer they will continue to cherlah such feelings against the senior senator from Virginia. • >n the other hand, they are most friendly disposed toward Swanson, who took no part in the primary matter. While an organization man himself. Mr. Deal has a streak of Independence In his makeup that causes him to be not altogether reliable at times, so far as plans of the organization are concerned. He Is practically the leader of the Seventh ward in Norfolk and his Influence In always courted by the “boys" at critical times. During tne primary probe, be lent his support toward the movement for purer poli j tics. Mr. Deal was not willing to venture an opinion as to whether Jones or Tucker would eventually be picked to opose Senator Martin, though he was inclined to think that the senators opponent would certainly be one of the two. I As for h!r own political aspirations be said, it was very doubtful whether he would stand for the legislator* he*t time. Some of his friends want him to run for the State senate, but he will hardly accede to their wishes. From what he hears, he thinks Col onel William H. Sargeant. Jr., who has been active in annexation matters in recent years, will likely be picked to repreaent Norfolk In place of Gen era] Sale, who resigned from the sen ate laat spring to become adjutant general of the State militia.
