HOOVER-CRATS'
VA. MEETING
WATCHED

Eyes of Virginia politicians,
and to some extent those Of
national leaders, are turned to
the meeting of Virginia
Hoover-crats, to be held in
Roanoke, Va, on Tuesday.
Particular interest attaches to the
meeting by reason OF the fact that
the Old Dominion forsook its ira
ditional solid South alignment in
the last Presidential election and
went Republican, largely because OF
the leadership Of the men and
women who will meet in Roanoke
June 1s. The question which is
now worrying Virginia politicians
is: "will these men and women
keep Virginia Republican, or do
they want to?"
It IL expected that Bishop James
Cannon, who was so prominent In
the anti.Smith fight last November,
Il
none of the Democratic aspirants
for the present gubernatorial noni-
nation are acceptable to him be-
cause they all supported Smith. yet
all of the candidates in the field
to date are dry.
Full State Ticket Seen.
Indications from all parts of the
State are that each district will be
well represented at Roanoke. Re-
ports are that the Hoover -crats will
put out full State ticket.
Foremost among the prospective
candidates is the name of DR.. Will
liam Mosely Brown, of Washing
ton and Lee University, Lexington.
Va. He has stated that he will Lac-
cept if nominated by the Hoover.
Gratis" and by the Virginia Re-
publicans.
Bishop Cannon's name has been
mentioned as a possible candidate,
but he has remained silent on the
subject.
DR.. Browns name Is entirely
new to political rolls in Virginia,
his disposition will be in handling
his campaign, should he be named
and accept. It is we'll known hat
a movement Is on foot to have
the regular Republicans indorse
him when they hold their conven-
ton in Richmond, Va, June 26.
Hoover Clubs Intact
Reports gathered from all parts
of the state seem to indicate that
the Hoover.cratS or otherwise
known as Hoover Citizen Clubs"
have remained intact and have
been very active since the election
of last year. They have had head
quarters open in the Richmond
Hotel. Richmond, Va. since early
last summer, and indications are
that they are flourishing and work.
ing day and night to perfect a
"well-oiled political organization.
The Hoover-crats are expected to
hold a meeting in Charlottesville
shortly after the Roanoke meeting
in order to organize the part OF
the State north of there. and to
carry out the policies adopted at
the Roanoke convention.
There is strong indication that
the most important move to be
made at the Roanoke Convention
will be the overture to the "Old
Line Republicans, asking that
they unite with the Hoover-crats
in the oncoming election.
The fusion of these two factions.
should it come to pass, will cause
the regular Democrats much trouble

result very well may be in doubt.
