EDITOR AGAINST MANN.
Richmond Paper Advises Glass Not
to Run for Governor.

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Richmond Va, May 2O.-Alfred B. Will
Jams. editor of the News Leader. in
strong editorial this afternoon. comes out
openly for Henry S. Stuart, of Russell
County, for governor. and at the same
time severely censures Judge William
Hodges Mann.
The News Leader says Il will be able to
show that for years Judge Mann was the
friend Of the railroad corporations, and
that one at least Of his elections was seri-
ously challenged in such circumstances
that 1t Is hard to understand how a con-
scientious man could have accepted the
results. The editorial lauds Representa-
tive Carter Glass. Of Lynchburg. who.
threatened with attacks on his personal
and private character, comes out In
strong card, boldly denying the issues.
The News Leader believes and will in
sist that for various reasons OF public
policy Judge Mann should be defeated.
The editorial suggests that, believing
firmly that the race IS between Stuart
and Mann, Glass, Tucker, and Duke
should keep out of TIE fight. Their can
didacy, It Is suggested, as present condi-
tions indicate, would simply disturb the
situation and complicate what should be
an open. square. and fair fight between
two good men on their records and quail
f1cations. If there should be a three or
four cornered fight. there should be
second and decisive contest between the
two survivors

been the leading topic In political circles

While Mr.. Byrd. who Is the speaker

In local options campaign and his work
in framing Of the Byrd law, which Is
said 10 be Objectionable 20 the liquor peo-
pie, led to a determined effort to down
him.
The situation was made more acute by
the fact that many OF the dry Demo-
Gratis were already pledged TO a Citizens
League ticket and could not enter the
convention. the executive committee hav-
ing combined local and national nomi-
nations.
That Mr. BYRD and Senator Ward will
both be sent as delegates from Fred
