A Washington reminder this week that Virginia's voting strength in the next Democratic National Convention will be reduced was a signal for Old Dominion Democrats here to begin thinking of Stafe and National con- ventions and the campaigns ahead. Meanwhile, it was disclosed that one of the hard workers behind the scenes in the forthcoming Senatorial Cam- paign Committees will be a Virginian —Col. Edwin A. Halsey of Lynchburg, the home town of Virginia's senior Senator, Carter Glass, who is up for re-election. Under the 1930 census, Virginia's vote in the National Democratic Con- vention will be cut from 24 to 22— two votes for each member of the House and the Senate. The State’s representation in the House was cut from 10 to 9 on the basis of census figures. Whether the Virginia delegation will be given half-votes or whole votes is a matter to be decided by the State convention.
