Corporation Commission Can
didate Talks on Duties
Of Position.

CLARENDON, Va, Sept. 20.--
One of the most important and the
only State officer that will be
voted on by the voters of Arlington
county at the November election
will be that Of a member to the
State corporation, for which L.
Cloyd Byars, Of Arlington, is a Can
didate.
Mr.. Byars said today: ''The
nomination was thrust upon me,
and in allowing my name to be be-
fore the people Of Virginia for mem
bership on the corporation com
mission, it will not be because
am lured by ambition or goaded by
necessity. There seems to be an
impression, not only in Arlington
county, but in other sections of the
Commonwealth, that the corpora
ton commission, as at present con-
stituted, does not function in the
interest of the people.
"It is probably the most i'm
portant department of the State
government-exercisings as 1t does,
jurisdiction over every incorporated
concern doing business in the State
including private corporations as
we'll as banks, railways, and other
public service corporations. While
it's powers are defined by law, its
influence over the corporations it
creates and controls, for or against
the public moral, is practically un-
limited.
Mr.. and Mrs. AlonZo Hayes, OF
California, and former residents of
Arlington county, are visiting the
family of w. D. Hayes, POI Ridgely
street, Clarendon.
The first meeting Of the fall ses-
