he would meet him In Richmond. He
hoped to have terms more equitable
than those which characterized the
Lynchburg discussion. he said, and he
wanted to draw from Mr.. Pollard an
swers. to some Of the questions which
he propounded to him in the Hill
City debate. particularly regarding
his experience in the higher courts,
where the duties of the attorney
general frequently require his appear
ance.
May BE Triangular Affair.
There is a possibility that the de-
bate may develop into triangular
affair. and in that event a most in
teresting finish to the campaign may
be arranged. Attorney General Will
liams is row in Washington in at
tendance upon the session OF the Vir-
ginia debt commission. This session
will probably be concluded with the
week, however, and the attorney
general will be left free to look after
his candidacy in the closing days OF
the campaign. The attorney generals
ire has been aroused by the statement
made by Mr.. Pollard at Wytheville.
which the former considers a serious
reflection upon his record as mem :
her of the State board Of education.
and 1t has been suggested that Mr..
Pollard may receive two challenges
to debate today Instead of the one
he expects, Judge Williams spoke
last night at Manassas.
Mr.. Pollard has an engagement to
address the voters of Suffolk tomor-
row night, and Monday night he will
speak at Norfolk. Mr.. Cumming has
planned to invade Southwest Virginia
next week. but may change his plans
In part If the debate IN arranged.
