With the introduction in the vir-

factors of the Old Dominion last

Put Blame on Davis.
The divorce scandals of Alexandria.
the Swanson adherents declare. are a
reflection on Governor Davis. who ap-
pointed Judge Robinson Moncure to
the Alexandria Corporation Court
bench and who, despite the scandal
that has been revealed, has failed to
act to prevent q continuation of the
conditions.
Prompt and decisive action, 1t is ex-
pected, will be taken by the governor
elect, e. Lee Trinkle, who takes office
next Wednesday, to instigate action
by the Virginia Assembly for sweep
ding Investigation of Moncure's official
conduct.
At the convening OF the present ses.
sion Governor Davis. in his speech to

governor be given power to remove
state officials who have been found
guilty of non-enforcement of the laws
or for malfeasance In office.
