Hall, nominee of the Democratic party for the State Legisla- ture from Fairfax County, was intro- duced and made a short speech. Representative Moore was the next speaker. He eulogized Pollard and asked the voters to put to themselves three questions. “Is he capable?” “Is he honest?” “Is he prepared by training to conduct the affairs of State as the Governor of Virginia?” Answers Questions. In answer to his own questions, Moore stated that Pollard had served as a member of the constitutional committee & quarter of a century ), served as attorney general of the State, and before and after the World War served as & Federal official. He has had wide experience with affairs with which the governor has to deal, Moore declared. “Every rivet in his armor has been tried and found to hold,” he said. Moore, in speaking of Dr. Willlam Moseley Brown, independent candidate for governor, said that he would not raise a question as to his honesty and integrity, but that he did raise a ques- tion as to his fitness for office, as he has had neither training nor experience. Pollard was introduced and after a few humorous .stories said that the people of Virginia have a right to know what their candidate stands for so that if he is elected he can be held to his expressed platform.
