Senatorial Campaign
Is Dragging

Richmond.-Two months before
the Democratic United States Sen
atorial primary the Virginia voter
is apathetic ard more on less in
different. Measured by past cam
paigns for this nomination, the
present contest between Senator
Claude A. Swanson and former
Governor Westmoreland Davis may
be said to be about four months be-
hind.
At this period of the memorable
Senatorial campaign between the
late Senator Thomas S. Martin and
the then Governor, A j. Montague,
Is years ago, the State was afire
with interest and partisanship. The
same condition prevailed 10 years
ago VIXEN Swanson and Carter
Glass fought it out for the nomi-
nation and the late Congressman
w. A. Jones opposed Martin, At
this stage in those big fights all
candidates had made speeches, had
issued many newspaper statements,
records had been discussed, charges
and counter charges had been made
There had been plenty Of fireworks.
The voters had warmed up with the
fight.

NRASTIC changes in the fire
regulations of cities all over
the country have followed the
compilation of figures by the Ma
tional Board Of Fire Underwriters
showing the tremendous lessons
learned by a study of the 3,OO0,-
600 and more fires that occurred
from 1916 to 1920.
The total loss for that period
was $1,672,722,677, which would
be enough to have built $4,000
dwellings costing $4,000 apiece,
or enough housing TO care for
100000 people. That means
number as large as the combined
populations of Connecticut, Ne
vada and Wyoming. Most OF these
fires were preventable.
The records show that at least
k2S& 100000 Of the property de-
stroyed was by fires due to sparks
communicating through the roof.
Roof fires are among those con-
sidered easily preventable. Yet
the records in many cities show
that some 40 per cent of all con-
aagrations have resulted from
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-06-22

flaming embers alighting on in
aammable roofs.
During q recent safety cam
paign it was shown that Indian
apolis alone had 1,400 wooden
single roof fires in one year and
500 in two months. Then the city
council passed an ordinance MAX
ing the elimination Of wooden
single roofs mandatory. Other
cities are having the same expert
ence. Wabash, Ind. for instance
had thirty fires in January and
February of this year. Twenty
five of them were due to wooden
single roofs.
The cure for this condition is
being found in most cities in COW
ering the old wooden shingle roofs
with asphalt roofing or with
asphalt shingles. Since the de-
velopment of this fire-resistant
material to the stage where both
the color and the texture can be
had in various styles, the cure has
been found to be quite permanent.
The asphalt shingles weigh just
about the same as the wooden ones
and will last anywhere from ten
to fifteen years and longer.

ration that he will support the Vol
stead enforcement law and any
amendments to strengthen the en-
forcement of prohibition legislation.
This declaration, made in Davis
platform, has Infatuated his wet
and damp followers. The radical
vets have dropped away from him
and declare they will not support
either man. Heretofore Davis,
though prohibitionist. has always
been at odds with the Virginia
Anti-Saloon League leaders. He
scorned their interrogatories as to
his position on prohibition when he
ran for Governor.
There is a feeling in the air that
Swanson has the lead But the
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-06-22

Today the campaign may be said
TO be dragging. Why? There are
q number of reasons. The first
may be said TO be that there are no
sharp, intensifying lines OF demar-
cation between Swanson and Davis.
Davis has made only few Meth
er has said anything to make the
voter cock his ear" Only the
platforms of the two men have
been mailed out That of Davis ere
ated some interest.
The second reason may be placed
at the door of the agitation over an
extra session of the General Assem-
bly, to pass upon 4 $l2,000.000 ROAD
bond issue. This proposition Of
Governor Trinkle, lost in the closing
hours of the Legislature last win
ter, is the topic of the street corner
political gatherings in the small
towns Saturday nights. 1t is the
live political question IN Virginia
today. The Virginia Good Roads
Association is ending out speakers
to work up sentiment for the road
bond issue and to create feeling for
the extra session of the General
Assembly to pass such Il measure.
Another reason for the indiffer-
ence of the voter may be assigned
to feeling of hopefulness as to
Congress which manifests itself i'm
IN conversations among the rank
and file of the citizenship. MANY
people believe that Congress is a
'do-nothing" crowd; that no matter
VINO is sent there he gets into the
"rut' and will not do anything but
talk.
The only spark of life given the
campaign so far was Davis decla-

Swanson leaders are not going to
be caught mapping by this political
atmospheric breeze. They know
that Davis, as face to-face cam
paigner with the voter, is strong.
Governor Trinkle, who is for
Swanson. has often spoken of Da-
Wis effectiveness as this kind of
campaigner. He said when Davis
came to his home county Of Wythe
he felt sorry for him, as few peo-
pie there knew him and fewer had
indicated they would support him for
Governor. He added that Davis
got among the voters, talked with
them face to face, came back to see
them again, and when the returns

and that coal prices will reach an un-

Ford's Solution
One source close to Mr.. Ford said
the manufacturer had "at the back Of
his mind picture of workingmen be-
ing unable to buy enough coal to keep
their families warm, because of the
prices that eventually would be asked
unless this profiteering was nipped in
its inception
The Ford company recently has re
ceived large number of offers on the
part of coal operators to sell mines.
None of these offers has teen consid-
cred seriously, however, because of the
present transportation conditions. it
was explained by persons close to Mr.,
Ford that the offering of mines meant
but little, "as they can be purchased
now for almost nothing because of the
large stocks OF coal held by brokers"
The manufacturer still believes link
ing of the Louisville & Nashville and
the, Detroit, Toledo & Ironton rail-
roads, the latter his own property,
would solve not only the Ford COM
pany problems, but those of every
other coal user in the lakes region.

irmed this theory of the case when
asked about it by the prosecutor and
to have added the information that he
had sent for the girl to support him
when he accused Bergen of wronging
him. From the prosecutors stand
point, the girls testimony is almost
vital, because she alone can give an
impartial version OF what transpired
after Bergen entered the Cline home.
He hopes through her to establish the
truth or falsity Of Cline's statement
that Bergen admitted attacking Mrs.
Cline in the absence of her husband.
The grand jury is to receive the case
on September 8. That date was fixed
by the Prosecutor yesterday. In this
connection Mr. Hart and detectives
working with him went to the Cline
home Yesterday and superintended toe
making of fashlight photographs of
the interior, of bloodstains on the BAN
listers, on the wall at the front door
and on the stairway. and OF bullet
scars in the bedroom where the shot
was fired.
Cline's sister, about whose identity
there has been some confusion, was
revealed yesterday as Mrs. Marguerite
Walz Townsend, of Philadelphia, where
she is better known as Marguerite
Walz, a dancing teacher and police
woman who was appointed to act as
dance censor. She conducted in re
cent times dancing academy at Car
negie Hall here. Cline. incidentally,
admitted to the authorities yesterday
that his real name is Walz, but he die
