POWHATAN M AN
TO EN- TER RACE
Robert G. Porter Will Oppose
Toney as Legislative
Candidate.

The appearance of Robert G. Porter
of Belona. Powhatan county, in the
field as a candidate for election 10
the House of Delegates from the SIX
teenth Legislative District, composed
of Manchester Chesterfield and Pow
hatan. serves only to further complt.
cate the tangle in which South Rich
mond finds itself in regard to Its
standing In the Legislative elections.
In a letter to The es-Dtspatch
a supporter of Mr.. Porter announced
that his candidate would oppose d. i,
Toney. of South Richmond. if the latter
has to run from the old district, and
that If MIR. Toney is disqualified by
having the court decide South Rich
mond must vote with Richmond, then
Mr.. Porter will still be in The field. AL
though the South Richmond Democrats
have been given assurances from high
sources that If Mr.. Toney is elected
from the Sixteenth District the LeCis-
lature will seat him without contest
Mr.. Porter has stated that in case Mr.
Toney defeats him he will have the
matter contested in the highest court
This unlocked for opposition to the
seating OF a South Richmond man If
elected from Manchester Chesterfield
and Powhatan only makes the muddlc
worse. Until the announcement of MIR.
Porter's candidacy yesterday there
seemed every prospect that South
Richmond. through the aid of an in
junction, would vote with the old dis
trict, and MIR, .Toney. having no de-
clarcd opponent, seated In the Legis-
lature without opposition. In the let
ter to, The Times Dispatch Mr.. Por-
ter's friend does not state that Mr.
Porter has legally qualified as can
d1date In the race, and certainly this
Is regarded as a rather late date fol
candidate to announce himself.
E So far as can be learned, Mr. Por.
ter's projected fight against having
South Richmond vote with Chesterfield
and Powhatan Will have no effect on
the efforts of the South Richmond and
Chesterfield Democratic leaders in
their fight to overthrow Major Miles
Martins decision that old Manchester
must vote in the legislative election
with Richmond. There seems abso-
lutely no possibility of having the con-
troversy settled out of court, as the

In view of the fact that the six
