TTER RACEENDS AT VIREIA POLLS Pollard and Brown Are Con- fident of Victory in Voting Today. (Continued Prom First Page.) began after the August Democratic primary culminated in a series of ad- dresses by partisans that made the hustings ring in every section of the commonwealth on the final night. Dr. John Garland Pollard, Democratic nominee, submitted his candidacy to the voters with an address at Poquoson, in which he reiterated his plea that “Raskobism on the one side and De Priestism on the other” be forgot- ten today, and “the best interests of Virginia, the one real issue of the cam- paign, be foremost in the minds of the voters as they marked their ballots,” Dr. Pollard said he belleved the best interests of Virginia lay in returning the Democratic party to power, and in a lengthy address summarized the pm,— ress he said had been made by the O] Dominion under Democratic rule. Brown Predicts Victory. Dr. William Mosley Brown, guberna- torial candidate of the coalition forces, concluded at Roanoke with the predic- tion of coalition victory, asserting that Tuesday night would mark “the biggest celebration held in the State since the armistice was signed.” He denounced the Democratic organization for what he termed “machine” rule and vigorously attacked the election laws as- conducive to fraud, promising if elected “to restore popular government to Virginia, Tevise the election laws and clean up the black satchel brigade.” The Nation looked to Virginia for an indication for the permsnency of the eplit in Democratic ranks after Alfred E. Smith was made the presidential nominee of the party last vear. Vir- ginia is the first of the five “Hoover States” in the erstwhile “Solid_South’ to hold a State election since the 1928 presidential campaign was concluded.

Two years , while the Gun- thers were visif at the mayor's home, the dog attacked the child. The Gunthers wanted the dog killed, but the mayor, after hav- ing the animal examined by a veterinary, refused. A rift be- tween the two familles resulted.

Many women are FAIRFAX, Va., November 5.—Demo- crats and coalitionists of Fairfax Coun- ty both expressed confidence today that the result of the election contest will be victory for their respective candi- dates. Republicans and anti-Smith leaders have waged an aggressive campaign in every section of the county appealing particularly to those members of the old Democratic party who failed to support the national ticket last Fall or who felt themselves aggrieved at lead- ers of the old party for real or fancied reasons and considered any change one for the better. While the Republicans have welcomed the support of the anti- Smith leaders, the utterances of some of them also have been a source of embarrassment to Republican chieftains who have privately expressed a fear that victory at the polls today will mean internal strife for local control. One of the chief planks on the platform of L. L. Freeman of Vienna, Republican candidate for House of Delegates, has been a repeal of the statutes making payment of poll taxes a prerequisite of elegibility to vote. This has long been on the platform of Col. Anderson, State Republican leader, and is a plank assail- ed by Democratic leaders who claim it would endanger white supremacy in Virginia. Democratic leaders, after checking their lists for the last time, stated last night that they felt confident that Fair- fax County will give a majority to both Pollard for governor and M. D. Hall, Democratic candidate for House of Delegates, if all those who have pro- claimed their support of the Democratic ticket go to the polls today. They have not, however, emulated the organization tactics of their opponents, who are making systematic surveys in every precinct to insure that every member of their party reaches the polis.

The board of directors, meeting in the organization’s offices in The Star Build- e went on record as charging that “architects having the design and arrangement of these buildings in charge have not given enough consider- ation to the handling of traffic in the ‘Triangle, which will house t.houund.s' of people in & small, congested district, and that “it is the consensus that a serfous error has been unintentionally committed by the designers of the buildings in this area.” The matter was brought before the board by a communication from the committee on ltr!et:,lnd avenues, pre- sented Qeorge V. m, cl - man, wtmb ‘was unanimously indorsed. Special Committee Named. The appointment of a special com- mittee, composed of two members of each of three standing committees, was authorized. The special group follows: Mr. Graham, chairman, and Roland A. Bibbons, representing_the streets and avenues committee; Robert F. Beres- ford and Vincent A. Toomey, public and private bulldings committee, and Col. A. M. Barber and Henry E. String- er, traffic committee. This committee is to make a thorough study of the sit- uation and submit recommendations at the next session of the board. The letter indorsed points out that recently approximately a quarter of a million dollars was spent by the Dis- trict Government in widening e teenth street and making it one of the city's main arteries of traffic. This thoroughfare will be of increased im- portance, it was asserted, when the Federal buildings are erected in the triangle and there is a dally rush of employes to and from their homes. In addition, it was stated, the present plan valls for the conversion of B ing, the * oughfares of the city, but if Thirteenth street were blocked at @ennsylvania avenue the trafic which normally would flow from one street to the other, would be shunted off into other and narrower streets. Would Link With Bridge. ‘B street, under the present program, would connect with the new Arlington Memorial Bridfefl serving a large section of nearby V! ia. The board pointed out that if irteenth street and B streets do not meet, this traffic would be cut off from a direct route to the center of the city. In arriving at its decision the board took into consideration the fact that Thirteenth street would provide the only direct avenue of approach to the Department of Agriculture, which can take care of any considerable amount of traffic. Streets running north and south in this section, it was said, are alterna- tively wide and narrow. Thirteenth and Eleventh streets are both broad. Eléventh street is already cut off by the Internal Revenue Bullding, and the proj colonnade would block Thirteenth street, while Twelfth street, which is narrow, would have forced on it all the trafic which ordinarily travels along the other highways, The letter to the board states that the two bulldings planned for either side of Thirteenth street at Pennsylvania avenue are so designed that there would necessarily be a slight offset in the street, but that if the colonnade were not erected between the structures, the flow of traffic would be unimpeded.
