G. o. p. Fight to Gust

National party leaders In Washing.

eyes toward Virginia today. where the
only State wide election In the country
was being held. other States are bal

municipal elections In larger cities also
are being held.

Especially anxious are both parties
over the outcome In Virginia, where
State Senator Z. Lee Trinkle Is bear

against Col. Henry w. Anderson, a
brilliant Richmond attorney, who Is
the hope OF the Republicans.
Not in years has such warm fight
been waged in the Old Dominion. Al
though ordinarily a hide-bound Demo
cratic Commonwealth. even the lead
ers Of the controlling party admit that
the Republicans may come into power
this year for the first time In the
States history. In 1888, Governor
Cameron, on a Fusionist or Read
juster ticket, captured the guberna,
torial honors. but since that time the
Democrats have held the reigns.
Indications from all over virginia
were that the Democratic candidates
would pay heavily at the polls be-
cause OF their membership in the ku

supporters in the affairs OF thitt
organization. Detectives will watch
