Virginia to Present Col. H.
W. Anderson for Vice
President.

Representative Slemp, Men

ing for Him.
ALSO FAVORED BY.TAFT'

Suggestions from various quar-
ters naming Representative c. Bas-
com Slemp, National Republican COM
mitteeman from Virginia, and dele
gate-at-large to the Chicago con-
Vention, as the logical candidate for
the Republican nomination to the
Vice Presidency, were answered yes
terday by Mr.. Slemp.
The argument for Slemp's candi-
dacy was based on his previous
record" and was urged in the line
of a strategic move to ALLEVIATE one
or more of the border States, thus
creating an entering wedge into the
bulwark Of the solid South.
sIemp Backs Anderson.
sIemp, however. already is pledged
to another for that office and gave
scant consideration to his own name
in connection with the place. The
extent of his interest in his candi-
date is indicated by the fact that he
left last night for Chicago. where
campaign headquarters already have
been opened in Congress Hotel, to
further the interests of his candi-
dacy for second place.
The man to whom Slemp has
pledged his support for the office of
Vice President, is Col. Henry w.
Anderson. of Richmond, Virginia,
successful lawyer. and a man who
came into some prominence because
of his responsible work for the Red
Cross in Rumania and Eastern Eu-
rope.
Virginia Republicans are sending
a united delegation to Chicago to
support Gov. Lowden for the Presi-
dency and instructed to vote for
Col. Anderson for Vice President.
Taft Favors Him.
Former President Taft in a recent
newspaper article regards the nam
ing of Col. Anderson for the Vice
Presidency as "one of several indi-
cations that the So-called solid
South may break and that that sec
tion need not always continue to be
what the candidates or policies of
the party may be"
Representative Slemp, in express
ing his appreciation of the mention
of his name in connection with the
Vice Presidency. waived the honor
aside temporarily, but said he be-
lieved the South, for the first time
since the civil war. will vote for a
Southern man for Vice President
Virginia has taken the lead in
that direction" he said, "by pre-
senting the name of Col Anderson,
of Richmond. Assurances have
been received from all parts of the
