Organized Women Voters of Arlington
County yesterday by special commit
tee headed by Mrs. N. Rex Hunt The

| testing against the dismissal Of the
men and are making every effort to
have them retained, on the ground that
| they are needed for patrol duty in
vicinity of the Schoolhouses.

Coalition Candidates In
Speech on Stump.
Special Dispatch to The star.


LYON PARK, Va, October 30.-Cen-
tering her shafts Of attack upon DR..
Brown, the coalition candidate for gov
ernor and Col. Anderson, leader Of the
Republican forces, Mrs. Sara Lee Fain,
member of the House Of Delegates from
Norfolk. speaking in the Lyon Park
community house last night to a Demo-
cratic women's rally, said that the peo-
pie Of Virginia would not be moved by
the attempt to arouse mems passions
in this campaign about things that do
not exist, but that the intelligence test
would be applied on next Tuesday, judg-
ment day for the voters"
She said 1t was a test as to whether
Virginia should continue its remarkable
progress under Democratic rule or go
back to where she was so years ago
when control was wreSted from the Re-
publicans.
DR.. Brown, Mrs. Fain said, in answer
to a query in the editorial columns Of
the Ledger Dispatch on how he voted on
the short ballot, had declared from the
platform at Smithfield that "If the
Ledger-Dispatch would pay him enough
he would tell how he voted" She rtdi-
culed the attempt by the Republicans
to attack DR.. Pollard as dry because he
sat down at table with wet and coun-
tered with the statement that prohibi-
ton was written in the Constitution by
the Democrats, but that its enforcement
for the past eight years had been given
to the Republicans and what q mess
they had made of it.
Frank Bell, State Senator from Ar
ltngton, in his address called attention
to the loss of revenue that would come
to the county by q reduction in the gas
tax. He pointed out that If the one
half cent was taken from the share
coming to the county it would mean a
loss of $4,000 on this years portion.

WILLIAMSBURG Va, October 30
John Garland Pollard, Democratic
nominee for Governor of Virginia, re-
piled last night to a communication
from Henry w. Anderson, Republican
leader, as to whether he approved or
authorized the de Priest circular" by
denying any knowledge Of the circular
and terming the Anderson inquiry "a
brazen piece Of 1nsolence."
THE questions that you ask as to my
approval of unfair methods are such
that no gentleman can properly pro-
pound to another" DR.. Pollard said
in letter to Mr.. Anderson tonight, II
am always willing to answer questions
concerning the real issues of this cam
paign, but when you ask me whether I
approve falsehood I consider it a
brazen piece of tnsolence, Of which I
would hope you would not be guilty in
your calmer moments, and for which I
trust you will be sorry when the smoke
Of battle has cleared away"
Anderson had accused Democratic
headquarters of distributing the circu-
lar. which declared Anderson and DR..
William MoSely Brown, coalition cardi-
date Tor governor, as well as the re

DR.. Pollard's reply followed a state

Republican Candidate Supported "Short
Ballot" Says Governor.
BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va. October So.-Gov.
Harry r. Byrd told Norfolk audience
last night he had been reliably informed
that DR.. William Mosely Brown, anti
Smith and Republican nominee for
governor, Tot only had voted last year
for the Short ballot" amendments he
is now denouncing, but had urged
others to do so in an address.
The governor read telegram from
John H. Mcclellan Of Rockbridge
County, who said he had made affidavit
that DR.. Brown explained, praised and
urged support Of the short ballot" in
an address under the auspices of the
parent-teacher association at Natural
Bridge.
IT am advised" the governor said,
that dozen or more prominent
citizens Of Rockbridge are prepared to
make similar aff1davitS as sworn to by
Mr.. Mcclellan" DR.. Brown, who has
vigorously attacked the short ballot in
his campaign speeches, declined to give
a yes" or mo" answer as to how he
voted when heckled at Suffolk last
Friday. But in a statement three days
later said he had voted for the amend
ments as regular Democrat" scarcely
questioning the party leadership.
