THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. 'AUGUST 10, 1924—PART T ) 2 ol 3 VIRGINIA CONGRESS FIGHT TOBE MILD Ninth District Offers Only Op- position to Democrats This Year. GLASS HAS CLEAR FIELD Two Much-Mentioned Guberna- torial Candidates Expected to Enter That Field. Special Dispatch to The Star. UCHMOND, Va, August 9.—Now that the congressional nominations for Virginia are made, one thing re- mains for the Democrats to do. That is to return the entire Democratic delagation to Congress, as was done last year. There is really the ninth district. enators Swanson and Glass will make visits to that Section and do all that is possible to elect Representative Peery State Chairman Byrd will arrange to send Other distinguished Virginians to that part of the State Itepresentative Harrison in the sev- istrict may have to extend him- in order to’ prevent a repetition of the contes veral years ago, when he was displaced and a Repub- lican seated, after the Republican had been de ted on the face of the re turns. That Chairman Byrd's d trict, and it will be given the proper attention prior to the polling of the vote Capt. John Paul ¢ Harrison- burg is the candidate against Judge Harrison, and the campaign is al- ready on for the seat. Glass Has Clear Field. Senator Carter Glass of Lynchburg will not have to bother about a cam- paign for himself. He had no oppo- sition for the nomination and will have none in the regular election unless some Repubjican or independ- ent, with ample tim® and much means, may determine to measure lances with him at the polls in November. That will not avail, for the accepted belief is that Senator Glass will poll more votes than any two men that might have ambition to make the race. Senator Glass will thus have the time to make speeches ror the Democrats in other sections than his own district, and he is expected to make the most of this. He has made a statement regarding his position in the New York con- vention and the charge or suggestion that he iled to control his delegates. He says he at no time had the dele- gates in his pocket o had the right to say to them whethcr they should vote for this man or that Two for Governorship. Tt is being hinted now that when the time comes to enter for the gubernatorial nomination next vear all the “favorite sons” and “dark horses” and others who have mentioned for the nomination will have declined to make the race. That all save two of the gentlemen who have been mentioned frequently. Of course, this is one of the rumors circulating among the inner council. Just who the two may be is not dis closed, and it may be two of four or five men more than once men- tioned. The governor has named a number of the foremost men of the State at some 25 or more different points at which ~ “Defense day” mobilization will be_held. addition to this, Adjt. Gen has named well known milit: men to act in con- unetion with the citizens and to make the day a success. There ap- vears to be little opposition to the scheme. Former military men are uded in the Jist of.selections made the governor. With the advent of real hot weather, and with a good rain this week, farmers are hopeful that they will get at least two-thirds of the usual corn crop this fall. In many instances the corn had to be planted three and four time no fight save in In Sale ROCKVILLE.

Great | ARLINGTON COUNTY. CLARENDON, Va. August 9 (Spe- clal).—Harmony: which has hereto- fore marked the meetings of the committee of the whole of tHe Ar- lington district good roads com- Dusslon, which is formulating plans for a road bond issue in the daistrict, Wwas conapicuous for its absence at the meeting of the committee at the courthouse Thursday night. The committee had under consider- ation two road nominations em- braced in the Kay plan for develop- ment, which is being considered item by item for possible addition to the Talman plan of road designations already adopted as a basis, the first being Fox road, Columbia turnpike to Glebo road, a distance of half a mile, and the other Jefferson street from Glebe road to tracks of Old Do- minjon rallroad tracks, estimated as 1% miles. After a prolonged discussion, in which both supporiers and opponents of the proposal frequantly wandered away from their subject to induige in personalities and - to make com- munity comparisons, the Fox road was adopted as part of the program. The feeling evidenced in the debate on the Fox road was more pro- nounced in the discussion of the Jef- ferson street proposal, resulting chiefly from opinions as to consider- ations that should be given thickly sottled and outlying sections. A mo- tion to adjourn at 10:30 o'ciock had been previously adopted and when that hour arrived the debate was still going strong, leaving the adoption or rejection of the proposal pending until” next meeting. Question of Mileage. Opponents of the Jefferson street proposal took the stand that the com- mission was attempting a program. that would include only thorough- fares and connecting roads and that there were hundreds of streets in the district that had as much claim to being adopted as did Jefferson street, |and that M they were all adopted it would mean a mileage that would surely fall at a bond electton. dvocates of the proposal refuted the claim,that the road should be classified as a street, stating that it was just as much a through road as lany previously adopted and that it |afforded the only outlet to many residents of that section of the district At the last meeting of the com- mittee these two road proposals were temporarily passed by to give the delegates from Arlington (the com- |munity most vitally concerned), who {were absent, an opportunity to en- |lighten the committee of the senti- ment in Arlington relative to the | proposed improvements. The dele- Eates in no uncertain terms told the [ meeting that the people of Arlington | were not only banking on these two | roads beig included in the program, |but wanted to be assured that Glebe {road would be taken care of as well, |either in the bond issue or by the State. | They were informed that® Glebe road had been eliminated from con- | siderotion of the commission be- cause the State had adopted part of |the road and the expectations are {that the State will eventually take over the entire stretch. Demand for Sewers. Arthur Orr presided over meeting _ of the commisston, while R. E. Plymale occupled the chatr during the deliberations of the com- mittee of the whole. Mr. Plymale, {who is chairman of the Ariington district sanitary commission, . an- nounced after the meeting that there |was an insistent demand on the part |of civic organizations that the com- mission resume meetings with a view |to formulating plans for estabiishing. |modern sewerage in the thickly set- tled areas. He sald that he would call a meeting in the near future and asked those present who were mem- ibers of the sanitary commission to give some thought to the project in the meantime. ~ He said that the work of dividing the densely pop- {ulated areas into natura} drainage {zones has been completed by the env |Eincer's office and that persons famil- lar with the situation are satisfied in their minds that bonds will have to be issued for the trunk lines, but |opinion differs as to the best means of putting in the laterals. The financing of lateral installation, he said, will be one of the chief prob- lems of the :cammission to sotve. The question of sewerage 18- ex- pected to be the most important: sub- ject before the Board of Supervisors at the regular monthly meeting at the courthouse Mohday morning. It is said that Capt.
