II Deal and his votes could be se-
cured by Young.

Young and Maynard. who ran IN the
race of August 20. which was thrown
ont by the State committees on az
count of rank frauds. are bitter TO-
wards Holland and Deal. who ran
only in the second primary. On the
ether hand. Deal and Holland. n the

herents are especially piaued. believ-
ing the State committee should not
have ordered new primary, but should
have thrown out only the precincts
where frauds occurred In the Maynard

This feeling accounts for Leader
Trehy's attempt to let In dark horse
rather than see Deal or Holland, the
added starters" win the race
A nomination must be made by to-
morrow night, as the Virginia laws
require that the names OF the noml-
nees be filed with the secretary of the
Commonwealth by that time
Unless either Deal or Holland makes
a sacrifice this afternoon the conven-
tion may see another tiresome night of
