MANY CANDIDATES
FOR SPEAKERSH|P
Retirement of Byrd Brings For
ward Names of Many
Legislators.

Indications are that the flpht for
the speakership of the next House of
Delegates will be one of the hottest
or years. and 1t will probably not be
settled until the body meets and a
caucus is held. Edwin f. Cox. for
several years a member Of the House
from the city of Richmond, is an active
candidate. and has many promises of
support. He is the chairman of the
Democratic caucus of the House. Judge
Martin Williams. brother of the At
torney- General. and Democratic floor
leader in the House, is his most active
opponent. Hugh a. White, Of Rock
bridge, who took leading part in the
tax discussions of last session, is men
toned. Walter T. oliver, of Fairfax.
is receptive candidate. Harry r.
Houston, of Hampton, is an active can
didate, and will have the support OF the
eastern section of the State generally.
Major James y. Stubs. of Gloucester,
one OF the veteran members of the
House, is mentioned
Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd did not
offer for recollection to the House from
Winchester and Frederick County.
Present Indications are that there will
be an unusually large number of new
members of the next House. so that the
speakership fight may be in doubt un-
til the actual organization takes place.
