Buchanan Quits Gouernor Race
On Eoe of Roanoke Convention;
Leaves Field to Wet Candidate

Roanoke, Va. May 1S.-Lieut.
Gov. b. Frank Ba"hanan will not be
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor OF Virginia
next year.
This was revealed in a letter he
wrote to Richmond friend May Is
and made public here yesterday.
Mr.. Buchanan Is counsel to the
Comptroller of the Currency with
Washington headquarters, but
makes his home at Marion in Smyth
County. He feels the duties of that
office are such that he would not
have the time to conduct a vigorous
campaign for the governorship. His
withdrawal leaves an open field 20
Harry st. George Tucker, of lie King
ton. who is running on a liberal
platform with Back to the Con-
stitution" as one of his slogans.
II. ID. Flood Suggested.
Buchanan was generally consid-
cred the candidate of the so-called
machine faction of the party with
which the prohibition element is
allied. Representative H. D. Flood,
of the Tenth Virginia district, is re-
garded in SOM circles as likely to
take the race for governor now that
he has withdrawn.
Another name mentioned is that
of state Senator G. Walter Mapp,
of Accomac, author of the State
wide prohibition law and an ever
ready defender of the dry cause.
Still another is State Senator C. O.
Goolrick, of Fredericksburg, author
of Good Legislation and rated as a
leader in the upper branch of the
Virginia general assembly. His
friends do not deny that he has
gubernatorial aspirations. and it is
believed that he would not be averse
to making the race in 1920 IL SUM-
ciently urged.
J. r. Saunders Acceptable,
The name of Attorney General
John Fl. Saunders, CT Middlesex, is
likewise being mentioned. ANY one
of those, it is conceded, would be
acceptable to the forces opposing
the Lexington man.
Buchanan made announcement
several months ago of his intention
to offer for governor. but never had
announced his views on State issues.
