full TICKET FOR
STATE OFFICES

UNEXPECTEDLY this Afternoon
John Garland Pollard, Richmoi d
attorney, author of Pollard,
Code. and former member Of
the late Constitutional CONVEX
ton. qualified as Democratic
candidate for Attorney General
by paying his fee to State
Treasurer Hartman and giving
formal notice to State Chairman
Ellyson.
Mr.. Pollard's candidacy will
probably draw the line sharply
between the machine and the
anti-machine Democrats OF the
State.
1t is believed that Mr.. Pollard
stands an excellent chance to
win. The other three candidates
for this place are all allied with
the so-called machine. They are
Samuel W. Williams, the incum-
bent, who seeks reelection:
Floyd King, of Allegheny, and
S. Gordon Cumming, OF Eliza
beth City.
In 1911, when Congressman
Jones opposed Senator Martin in
the Democratic primary, and
Congressman Glass opposed
Senator Swanson, Mr.. Pollard
took an active part in behalf OF
Messrs. Jones and Glass.
He was afterwards strong
advocate of the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President.
Several months ago, when
William Jennings Bryan was in
the city, he was Mr.. Pollard's
guest at his home in Ginter
Park.
Mr.. Pollard has wide ac-
quaintance throughout the State.
Among the Baptists Of Virginia
he is especially well known on
account Of his own activities in
UNCONVENTIONAL work and his
relationship with the great
Pollard family of Baptists.

successful in winning the great
principle for which he has fought
