B.0.P. PLANS AGTIVE FIHT N VIRGINA State Convention Is Called for August 30 to Meet in Roanoke. SY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., August 9.—Hav- ing marked time to await the outcome of the Democratic primaries in the various sections of the State, the Re- publicans of Virginia are laying plans for an active campaign in behalf of their candidates for the House of Rep- resentatives and the United States Benate. J. E. Spaulding, chairman of the Ar- lington County Republican Commit- tee, today received a call from the State Committee for a State conven- tion that will be held in the City Mar- ket Auditorium in Roanoke at noon on August 30. This convention, accord- ing to the call, will be for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the Senate and organizing generally for the com- ing campaign. County Meeting Planned. Pursuant to this call, Spaulding an- mounces that he will call a county mass meeting on or about August 20 for the gurpow of selecting delegates to the tate convention. Arlington County is entitled to 43 delegates and 43 alter- nates, the selection of which will prob- ably be somewhat exciting. Dr. F. M. Brooks, Republican con- ssional candidate from the eighth istrict, has until this time refused to accept any invitations to speak at meetings any place in the district, but has informed Spaulding that he in- tends starting an active campaign im- mediately after the meeting of the Eighth District Executive Committee, which will be held in Alexandria on August 14. % In declining invitations, Dr. Brooks had announced that he would have nothi to say politically until he learned who his opponent would be, believing that he would be placed at a disadvantage if he had to combat all five Democratic candidates during the Democratic pre - primary _campaign. Now that he ws_his opponent is to | be Judge Howard W. Smith, he feels that he is better able to cope with the situation. Republicans Hopeful. ‘While nomination in the Democratic Emlrg is tantamount to election in eighth district, the Republicans are alert for some opportunity that might be used to turn the tables. They are mnot overly optimistic as to the chances of such an opportunity at this time. but look fondly upon the large increase in population in that section of the district adjoining the National Capital, bel that some day this increase may be of sufficient size to put over a blican for an important office. ere is no doubt but that a large per cent of the increase, especially in Arlington County and nearby develop- ments in Fairfax County, is composed mostly of Federal employes and that a greater number of these are Repub- licans and it is upon this that the tical body is building its foundation for supremacy. At one time, it is pointed out, it would have been impossible to elect & Republican to office in either Ar- lington or Fairfax Counties, but last Fairfax elected a Republican mem- House of Delegates and the Board of Incidentally, both counties went Republican in s0 far as the itial vote is concerned at the last general election. 15 RACE HORSES DIE AS BOLT FIRES BARN Royal Tryst Among Animals Lost at Kentucky Association Track.

Bahy beef clubs of six Maryland coun- ties will exhibit at the show, and boys from 19 high schools in Western Mary- land will compete for honors as judges of live stock.
