THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER 11, 1921_PART 1. DEMOCRATS SOON T0 OPEN CAMPAIGN Virginia Chairman Planning for Coming Election—Col- ored Republicans’ Ticket. Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 10.— State Chairman H. D. Flood of the state democratic committee is not yet ready to make formal announcement of the date for the opening of the campaign for the state officers, but the time for that: to start is not far removed. Chairman Flood was here for several days, devoting time to the consideration. of plans for the task, and these have been perfected. To begin with, Col. David H. Leake, who managed the campaign for Mr. Tucker, has offered his services for the campaign, and he has been as- sigred an important committee place. Others who were followers of Mr. Tucker for governor have declared that they stand ready for the cam paign work, and they, too, will be a: signed to duties. It is true that for a few days following the campaign there was more or less soreness or disappointment, especially among a few of the ultra-Tucker men, but that is rapidly passing and there are few now who are still to make declaration of their regularity. The repyblicans of the state im- meciatly f8liowing the primary un- dertook to fan the flames of disap- pointment into revoit. and a few of the men said that they were through with the democratic party, but that was in the heat following the cam- paign, and it is believed there wil not be 1 per cent of the real demo- crats who will fail to vote for the ticket which represents the choice of the dominant party in Virginia. Blacks Bolt G. 0. P. How much of a campaign will be made, and how much vote will be polled, is not known, but the colored republicans are at work, with a com- plete state ticket. The lily white and the solid black republicans have outdone the democrats in one respect —each of the two republican parties has a woman candidate up for the office of superintendent of public in- struction. One or two changes were made from the ticket originally planned. but the fact is that the col- ored wing of the party has a com- plete state ticket up. and there are Teports that they will name candi- dates for the legislature in many of the counties. They have far less chance for success than the lily white Tepublicans. The latter have ample campaign funds, they are sending out much literature and the force at geadfluafler! is doing business every ay. Drought Ruins Crops. Taken as a whole, Virginia will not_this year produce more than 60 per cent of the hormal corn and to- baéco crops, and there is much doubt if the crop averages &S much as 50 per cent of the normal. A recent trip through the lower tier of the coun- ties shows that the corn is burned brown, the tobacco is “edged” with a rim of brown around the leaves and much of the planted crop will not be cut and is not worth saving. Peas, beans, oats—vegetables generally—are about the poorest that have been seen in forty years. : The farmers are in horrible “shape, due solely to the failure of the crops. Many of them will have a hard time living through the winter, and they have_ not been able to discharge any of their indebtedness from last year, when_the tobacco crop went off more than 50 per cent. Business generally in the rural sections is poor, and the only means that many of the farmers will have to make ends meet will be to cut and sell the wood that)is on their farms, and which is worth'about $10 a cord in the city. Several admirers of Capt. W..Rowe Boutwell of Norfolk, president of the Virginia Pilot Association, have had painted of him a magnificent portrait and the same has been. presented to him, the ceremonies taking place a few days ago. Capt. Boutwell is one of the best known men in the state Too Late to Play In Band for Crown Prince; Ends Life e st L TOKIO, Jupan, Seplember 10— —Because minsed a train and arrived at Yokohama too Iate to play band when the crown tur- day, Oto Takedn committed sui- He had explained to friemds that suicide would be the only 'way of atoning for his fail: 3 fulfill the humble role asaigned to him to copfribute a passing moment’s pieasure to his s perial highneas.

Official Says Secretary Agreed to Buy Food in U. 8. for Soviet. By the Associated Press. RIGA, September 10.—The news: paper Izvestia today quoted Leonid Krassin, soviet trade representative, as.announcing at a conference of the [third central transport at Moscow that he had received a telegram from Herbert Hoover, dated September 1. offering to make purchases of food- stuffs in America for the Russian so- viet government. ‘The newspaper hails the reported message as representating a change of attitude on the part of Mr. Hoover, who hitherto, the newspaber sai has been unfriendly toward soviet Russia. While announcing a general firm stand against the denationalization of\ foreign trade and big industry, M. Krassin, according to the newspaper, said the soviet government considered it possible to grant concessions for the construction of separate railways, such as the Northern rallway and a railway to the arctic regions. “Through the new economic polic: M. Krassin is quoted as saying, foreseen a big international loan, but the old loan will demand lengthy re- gotiation.” BLOCKADE IS ENDED. Many . Supplies Being Loaded as Russiin Boxcars Arrive. By the Associated Press. RIGA, September 10.—The téempo- rary blocking of American Relief Ad- ministration shipments into Russia ended to day with the arrival of a number of box cars .from Russia, Wwhich are being loaded. The large heap of supplies which have accumu- lated here within the last fe y is fast diminishing. £ d“” nd he easily is one of the most in- uential. He devotes much of his time and talents to the development of the ports around Hampton roads and is the head of one organization that proved 100 per cent efficient dur- ing the war. Demand Vietor's Deportation. During the war with Germany E. K. Vietor, représenting that government in this city, was arrested and placed in detention at Fort Oglethorpe. He ‘was loyal to his country and he did everything possible to advance her interests. He had a son who served in the army of the Kaiser, and one of his daughters volunteered as a nurse for the same service, but she did not get across. Mr. Vietor was and is ob- Jectignable to the members of, the American Legion, and at the recent meeting in Norfolk that organization went on record in favor of his depor- tation. He is a man of “considerable means and has been for a long time in the tobacco business here. Mr. Vietor was under surveillance here for months before the United States entered the war, his every movement being watched by secret service men. Action of the Virginia branch of the American Legion will be reported to ‘Washington for consideration. Boom In Bullding. Building appears to be on the in- crease in this city, with small homes predominating. While all this build- ing is going on there are more houses and flats and apartments for rent than has been noticed for flve years. In a great majority of the cases the -build- ings are for individual owners, who have tired of the annual jumping of the rent for small quarters and the ‘wording of the leases that allowed the sale and occupancy of houses at any time. This has resulted in the sale of homes and the forced moving in dead winter, and to obviate this-the men who saved a sum sufficient have begun providing for themselves a home. Rents are still coming down, but_they are yet very high. ARLINGTON COUNTY. Clayton Thrift of Pierce Station, Va., and Earl Hammond of George- town are confined in the Arlington county jail, awaiting a hearing on a charge of illegal possession of intoxi- <cating liquors. Sheriff A. C. Clements, @accompanied by Deputies Z. O. Kine: and Howard Smoot. say they entered the home of Thrift, Friday after- noon, and found eighty-five gallons of whisky, which they confiscated. ‘The sheriff also removed from the ge‘nl!eu a Winchester pump gun, a ilichester rifle- and_three Colt .38 revolvers. The sheriff and his aides made the arrest on their return to the house several hours after the discovery of the liquor. Both men admitted ownership of the in- toxicants and firearms, according to Sheriff Clements. .
