VIRGINIANS VOTING KANSAS PRIMARY AT PRIMARY TODAY Democrats at Polls to Select Nominees for Con- gress. Virginia Democratic voters went to the polls today with interest in the pri- maries centering largely on the elgh:th congressional district. From all sections | this morning came reports of heavy balloting. & While the ruling of Attorney General John R. Saunders, barring last year's | of Dr. Willlam Moseley | supporters Brown from participating in today's election, caused some consternation, there were few indications that any | echallenges were being made. Leaders Deplore Ruling. Political leaders generally deplors the Saunders ruling, and while the Demo- crats believe that the opinion is tech- mically correct, they feel it unwise in the interest of party harmony, especial- ly in view o fthe apparent inconsis- tency with last year's opinion allowing Hoover supporters to participate in party elections. Just what effect the ruling will have on the size of today's vote is largely problematical. It is understood that several judges have announced they will challenge the votes of known Brown supporters. The three leading candidates, however, State Senator Frank L. Ball, Judge Howard W. Smith and Thomas R. Keith, have issued in- structions to their workers not to stir up bad feeling at. the polls. The ruling has not been officially brought to the attention of the election officials. Dry Issue Casts Doubt. Workers in_ all the camps were at the polls early today and plans had been made to see that all voters pledged d from the elec- tion 3 noticeable this yea ‘ber of persons' who have not reached a final decision on the actual eve of elec- tion. Those who regard the prohibition issue as the main problem will vote without question’ for Ball if dry; but if wet they are confronted with a choice between four differing personalities. Other issues still further complicate one of the most interesting and hotly contested elections held in the district in many years. ARLINGTON VOTE HEAVY. Unusually Large Number Appear Early at Polls.

This may be attributed largely 1o the fact that two of the candidates, Sfate Senator Prank L. Ball and Capt.

CULPEPER, Va., August 5—Nowhere has the fight for the nomination for Congress in the eighth Virginia district been waged with more ardor than in this county. , Although both Smith and Keith adherents are claiming the county for their ve candidates, it is generally admitted that the ma- Jority on-any.- side will be very close, and both the Smith and Keith workers are casting an -anxious ' eye upon the chances of Senator Ball of Arlington, for it is generally accepted that Senat will the choice of all of the real “bone-dry” voters of the county, and that there are many of these was shown in recent elections. Mr. Keith’ popularity seems based upon personal reasons, as he has many friends in this county who are putting in hard work for their favorite, but these friends do not include the bone drys, to whom his public utterances upen modification o repeal of the prohibition law have given considerable offense. Many of the leading Democrats of town and county are heartily indorsing Judge Howard W. Smith and putting in untiring work for him in every sec- tion of the county, and it is generally conceded that there will be more than a scattering of votes cast here for both Capt. Crandal Mackey and Attorney E. H. DeJarnette. One of the county weeklies, the Virginia Star, has been active in its support of the .candidacy of Judge Smith all through the campaign; the other, the Culpeper t, while apparently not actively indorsing any of the other candidates, has been active against Judge Smith, Senator Ball, Capt. Mackey and At- torney DeJarnette have all made pub- lic addresses in Culpeper, but werei greeted by small crowds. Both Mr. Keith and Judge Smith have confined 1 contacts personal with the voters. It is expected that a large vote will be polled at every pre- cinct in the county, as interest in the outcome of the eleciion is intense. CONTEST BETWEEN TWO. Loudoun . Vote Believed for Ball and Smith. Special Dispatch to The Star, LEESBURG, Va., August 5.—An un- usually large vote was being recorded all over Loudoun County today. The fight here seems to be almost entirely between Judge Howard W. Smith of Alexandria and State Senator Frank L. Ball of Arlington, and while the vote is expected to be close, political leaders feel that there is little doubt that Smith will have a majority.

His opponent, Frank “Chief” Haucke, 36, former State commander of the American Legion, a legislator, former Cornell foot ball player, and farmer, charged Gov. Reed with “undertaking to administer the affairs of the Na- tional Government.” He did not take issue with the Governor, however, on the whea question. Haucke's manager has défined his' chief issue in today's election as “Mr. Reed's peculiar “unfitness for office” and ac- cused him of throwing out a “smoke- screen of scurrilous attacks” on the leaders in the Haucke campaign or- ganization.

The wares he had to offer didn’t seem to appeal particularly to the busy . housewives of Springfield, Il Older and more experienced salesmen had called on them before the lad ap- peared. Those who needed such wares as Julius Rosenwald had to offer gener- ally seemed to be stocked up with them. But the youngster wasn't discouraged. He knew there was a brisk market for him as a door-to-door salesman if he out of the ordinary. He put ayay the staple articles of the trade and ‘stocked up on chromos. He did a land office business with them. Yearned There Is Always Market. The boy who later built up the great mail order business of Sears, Roebuck | & Co. got his first lessons as a sales- | man at the age of 10. He learned then that there was always a market if you had goods people really wanted or could use. Springfield was the place of his birth. | He was born in 1866 in a house not far from the old home of Abraham Lincoln. E#s father was in the clothing business 50 the boy seems to.have come by his ability as a salesman naturaliy enough. Even before he turned to selling goods to the thrifty housewives o1 the Illinois city he earned money. He got five cents an hour for pumping a church organ when he was just about eble to perform the task. While he attended public schools he earned money as a newsboy as well as a salesman of chromos. He sold pamphlet- programs when the Lincoln monument was dedicated in Springfield. He earned $2.25 that day and had the added pleas- ure -of getting a close-up of President Grant, the great hero of the Civil War. The general was the fitst man he ever saw. wearing kid gloves.

In presenting the Gordon . Bennett international balloon race trophy to Ward T.
