FAIRFAX, Va, November 5.-Demo-
Gratis and coalitionistS of Fairfax Coun-
ty both expressed confidence today that
the result of the election contest will
be victory for their respective candi-
dates.
Republicans and anti-Smith leaders
have waged an aggressive campaign in
particularly to those members Of the
old Democratic party who failed to
support the national ticket last Fall or
who felt themselves aggrieved at lead
ers of the old party for real or fancied
reasons and considered any change one
for the better. While the Republicans
have welcomed the support OF the anti
Smith leaders, the utteranceS of some
of them also have been a source of
embarrassment to Republican chieftains
who have privately expressed q fear
that victory at the polls today will
mean internal strife for local control
One Of the chief planks on the platform
Of L. L. Freeman of Vienna, Republican
candidate for House of Delegates. has
been . repeal of the statutes making
payment Of poll taxes a prerequisite Of
eligibility to vote. This has long been
on the platform Of Col. Anderson, State
Republican leader, and is plank aSSatl-
ed by Democratic leaders who claim 1t
would endanger white supremacy in
Virginia.
Democratic leaders, after checking
their lists for the last time, stated last
night that they felt confident that Fair
fax County will give a majority to both
Pollard for governor and M. D. Hall,
Democratic candidate for House of
Delegates, if all those who have pro-
claimed their support of the Democratic
ticket go to the polls today. They have
not, however, emulated the organization
tactics Of their opponents, who are
making systematic surveys in every
precinct to insure that every member
Of their party reaches the polls.
ARLINGTON FOR BROWN,

ARLINGTON FOR BROWN
By a stag Correspondent of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, November S.
That the bitter campaign that mas been
carried on in Virginia has borne fruit
through creation of suficient interest
TO turn out the voters was indicated
today by the large number appearing at
the polls. While it is not believed that
the total number of votes cast will be
az large as was polled at the last gen.
eral election, it was predicted that 1t
would greatly exceed that of the usual
State election.
While Arlington County is expected
to give a majority of votes to DR.. Will
liam Moseley Brown, coalition candi-
date for governor. and to his entire
ticket, there Is considerable doubt as to
the outcome of the race for the House
Of Delegates, the only county Office at
stake.
The hackers of both candidates, Hugh
Reid, Democrat, and Louis A. MacMa-
hon, Republican, today expressed con-
f1dence In the ultimate victory CT their
candidates, but were not so enthusiastic
as to either winning by large major
ity. This fact, with the unusual inter-
est that the race for this ONCE has
created, leaves considerable doubt as to
the outcome.
The polls opened at $40 o'clock this
morning with large number of voters
present. The polls viii close at 5:04
O'Clock.
