Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., July 31.—With the State Democratic primary of August 6, the next big date on the troubled polit< ical calendar of Virginia, the electorate today was awaiting & final burst of pre-primary fireworkers from the three active factions now playing for the control of the old dominion. The Democratic candidates for gov- ernor were making their final bids for support, with John Garland Pollard of Williamsburg apparently safely ahead of his opponents, G. Walter Mapp of Accomac and Rosewell Page of Hanover. G. 9. P. Revolt Growing. The Republicans, preparing for the general election campaign, were s ling to quell a growing revolt against the anti-Smith Republican nominee, Dr. William Moseley Brown of Lex- ington. Fireworks in the Democratic camp were expected from Mr. Mapp. Yet, thus far, the primary has been quiet compared to other Virginia guberna- torial contests The new maneuvers among the Dem- ocrats included a concentration of fire by Pollard supporters upon Westmore- land Davis of Loudoun, ex-governor, member of the Mapp faction, and op- ponent of the short ballot principle. D. H. Barger. of Montgomery, promi- nent_farmer and former supporter of Mr. Davis, the successful farmer candi- date in 1918, charged that Mr. Davis, now fighting the short ballot plan, was ouc of the original advocates of the plan. There are not a few liberal and “wet” Republicans, especially in the urban | areas of the State, who are violently anti-Cannon, and ' believe that the State’s progress will be halted if Bishop Cannon regains political control of Vir- ginia Trouble Among Anti-Smiths. Meanwhile the Anti-Smith party, now generally labeled the Cannonit party, has been having the racial issue brought about by the redistricting debates in Congress, the De Priest tea party at the White House and the appointment of a Negro post- master in Albemarle County by one of | virginia's three Republican Represent- atives, J. A. Garber. The firebrand of the Anti-Smith group, I. C. Trotman of Suffolk, has | withdrawn from the party and rejoined the Democrats, along with a number of men reported to constitute a con- | siderable minority of the Cannonites— | and said to be members of the Ku Klux Kian. Meanwhile the Democrats lost one leader in the person of E. M. McClure of Richmond, head of the third district delegation to the Democratic State central committee. The campaign for the governorship will begin immediately after the pri- mary, with the survivor of the Demo- cratic primary fight matched with the Republican-Anti-Smith nominee, Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown has announced that he will make a stump speech on August 7, the day after the primary, at Ac- comac Courthouse, home town of C. ‘Walter Mapp, one of the Democratic candidates.
