STATE, LEADERS SAY
Despite Vigorous Campaign by Republicans, Political
Observers Can See No Real Danger to Undisputcd
Supremacy Here of Party of Jefferson.

II ever did before. the chief reason
being that corporations and public ser
vice concerns had been forced by the
Democratic party TO bear their Just
share OF tho burdens OF government.
Mr.. Anderson, during the course OF
the campaign, has from time to time
referred to the Constitution under
which Virginia now lives as one Of
The most rqprcssivc documents" the
world has ever known. insisting that
IL violates every principle of human
freedom. and suggesting that some
81 the Balkan States enjoy more
liberty than does Virginia. Mr..
TrihhIc and other Democrats. in re-
ply quote from speech delivered
ny AIR. Anderson. whc he introduced
the then President. William Howard
tart. To a Richmond audience. Mr..
Anderson then called the Constitu-
t"n. according to the Quotation.
"a measure which insurcs the reign
OF Intelligence in the political af-
:aiEs of Virginia, ana an assurance
that the supremacy OF the white
race should never be threatened

can never permit anything like that
20 cnter IT'S domains.
Men no have been familiar with
Virginia politics for years. and who
have been actively identified with 1t,
frankly state that they do not care
10 set themselves up az prophets this
year, because elements which have
never entered into the politics of this
state before arc before the voters
now. ], IT.. for instance. the first time
that women have ever been permitted
20 vote in Eubcrnatorial contest
and, while II is generally believed
that the advent OF the women merely
means doubling OF the vote OF both
PARTIES. as far as the white race is
concerned. the fact that the lilly
white" element of the Republican
party has rcpudiatcd what J. r. Pol
ard. leader Of the blacks, has called
the 'iily-blacks." may mean n con-
siderable reduction in the normal
Republican vote.
To stand "By LIIy-ninc1<s."
That all coiorcd Republicans do not
intend to vote for the ticket put in
he field by the "lily-blacks" is ad-
'nitted by both "liiy-white" and lilly
black" leaders. Most OF the colored
vote. 1t is said, will be given TO the
negro Republican candidates with
John Mitchell hading the ticket for
Governor.
Colonel Anderson. 1t is stated by
some of his own supporters, privately
admits that his only hope is to cut
down the usual Democratic majority.
In Democratic circles IL is confidently
asserted that the party will roll up
an oldtime majority. and one OF such
magnitude that the whole country
will be left in no uncertain attitude
az to where Virginia stands.
Because OF the Republican on
slaught. II is admitted By both sides
that the vote Tuesday will be one OF
the largest that the State has seen
in many years. the Democrats con-
tending that the larger the vote
brought out. the larger will be the
Democratic majority.
