STAUNTON, Va, NOV. 4.-Ad-
dressing the people a'ncng whom
he lived for many years, James
H. Price, Democratic nominee for

impressive speech here in his
campaign for office.
The former Stauntonian. now a
resident of the State capital, de-
clared there is but one issue and
that is good government in Vir-
GINA. He said that while the
Republicans have attempted to
persuade the people that prohibi-
ton is an issue, the Anti-Saloon
League of Virginia has given its
approval to the nominees of both
parties.
The speaker appealed to those
who had left the party last fall
to return to the Democratic fold,
declaring that true Democrats
would not be deceived by an at
tempt to foist upon them in dis
guise the same Republican leader
