ROANOKE, VA, Aug. 7.-R. II.
Angel, of this city. whom Secretary
Summers. of the Republican State
committee. said yesterday would
probably be the choice of the Re-
publicans to head the ticket proposed
to be put forward in this State this
fall, declines to serve. He says:
II appreciate much the very nice
compliment from my friend. Lou
Summers. in suggesting the possibility
OF my nomination as the Republi-
can candidates for governor of Vir-
ginia- At the same time those of my
friends locally who know the many
interests that l have here, which en-
gage every spare moment Of time
available. will agree that it would be a
great injustice to myself to consider
accepting the nomination under any
circumstances. / regret that this Is
true, not because I would consider
accepting the nomination under any
circumstances regret that this Is
true, not because I think my election
would be possible. but because OF the
honor I would consider 1t, and from
the further fact that have reason to
expect hearty support of my party
throughout the State. / must be
loyal to my own Judgment In the
matter, and 1 feel that every spare
moment Of time is justly due TO my
family ana the city OF Roanoke"

shown In Tuesdays vote.
But before Mr.. Pollard has the oppor-
tunity to make the race for governor,
should he elect to do 50. the anti
organization" will have another OPP
portunity to try out the strength of Its
own Organization" 1t is generally UNI
derstood that Representative Andrew
Jackson Montague will again enter the
list against the Junior senator from
Virginia, who will come up for noni-
nation in 1915. Mr.. Montague and Mr..
Swanson opposed each other once be-
fore, but as stated above that was
before convention and not in a
primary.
However, Mr.. Pollard will have the
advantage of observing the strength
developed by Mr.. Montague, who is re-
cognized as one of the most formidable
of the anti leaders and
the result of the senatorial battle will
no doubt have great weight In deter
mining whether or not he shall under
take a contest with Mr.. Byrd.
Just at this time, however. Mr.. Pol
lard says he IS still a candidate for at
torney general.

Mayer had decamped with the Aims.
and when he learned otherwise and
the films were returned to him by
Mayer before the lattAr's arrest he
wanted the warrant withdrawn and
the case dismissed. Attorney Smith
insisted. however, that the case be

his client honorably acquitted. An

Of the testimony, and 1t was intimated
that a suit for defamation of char
acter would be instituted.
