sentiment Of the lower house and in the face Of
the presidents warm endorsement and energetic
support viii have something TO explain.
One thing which operates to help the passage
OF the bill is the narrowing of the lines of at
tack Rather shrewdly the administration forces
have brought out clearly the chief point at issue
and have convinced the public that the fight Is
between those who believe in government control
of the currency and control by the bankers.
That, after all. is the real basis Of the
opposition of the bankers and that is
something that the people can easily grasp.
On that issue they viii be behind the
president and his bill, and the bankers will have
difficult task before them when they undertake
to convince that the welfare Of the whole nation
rather than their own interests actuate them in

omcial Primary Returns.

With the exception OF a score OF more pre-
cincts out OF the $500 in Virginia the official
turns from the Democratic primary of last
month have been received and tabufated by
Secretary Brennaman of the State central COM
nittee. The results have been known for some
time and therefore the official count has not at
tracted much interest. AS has been reported,
Lieutenant Governor ]. Taylor lEtlyson and
Commissioner of Agriculture G.. w. Koner were
rcnomnated by large matorities, while John
Garland Pollard defeated Samuel w. williams
incumbent for the Attorney Generalship of the
State. Mr.. Pollard's plurality, according to the
figures in hand, Is Lis. The missing precincts
are expected to reduce this slightly, but is safe
to predict that the Henrco man will be a winner
around 1000.
1t is unfortunate that the Byrd primary law
should have been misunderstood as to delay
the official announcement for so long a time af-
for the certifying of returns is so different from
can readily see how this delay occurred. We
are glad to note. however. that there has been no
lntimatioin or suggestion of fraud in any section
Of the state. The delay has not aided either
candidate for the attorneyshtp and we do not
believe has been to the benefit of either OF those
gentlemen. The precincts now missing are es-
timate6 to be about evenly divided between
Pollard and Williams. Some are In the south
west a section strongly for the incumbent, while
others are in eastern Virginia, where Mr.. Pol
