Barger issued a statement
through Pollard headquarters charg-
ing that Governor Davis was in
consistent in his attitude on the
short ballot. Barger said Governor
Davis was now attacking the short
ballot" through his paper, the
Southern Planter, although he had
advocated the proposal while
Governor of Virginia.
Pollard is in favor of the short
ballot" and Mapp Is opposing It,
as is Page, the third candidate.
They have brought this issue to
the front one of the leading issues,
and are bidding for victory on It,
in the primary to be held next
Tuesday, August s.
Sees Party Jeopardixed
"The legitimate object of the short
ballot is efficiency and economy in
government" Davis stated. THE
appointment Of the State comptroller
with all OF his power and with no
qualification for the office satisfies
me that in Virginia, at least, the
short ballot Is a failure, and that
unless the danger to the rights of
the people be remedied the future
Of the Democratic party IL in
Jeopardy.
Political expeiiency cannot con-
tinue indefinitely to masquerade as
governmental efficiency. In the
light of experience am opposed to
the short ballot and all that 1t
means. / welcome the opportunity
that is given me to place myself on
record on the subject"
The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch has
held a telegraphic poll of the
prospective result of the primary,
and Pollard supporters forecast that
he will carry the State with a
ma jority of not less than 30 900.
The request to the Mapp head
quarters has not been answered.
Seven Districts Claimed Safe
According to the Pollard estimate
the result Of the primary. the
Williamsburg candidate is safe in
seven of the ten congressional dis
| tricts, with q reasonable chance
Of carrying two more. conceding Il
Mapp only one sure district.
Following is the statement ot
| the unofficial Pollard estimation o.
the primary:
The first district, which include!
Mapp's home counties on the East
ern Shore, is conceded TO Mapp By
a majority of 1000 to $500, which
is less than he received in 1925.
The second district Is placed II
/ the Pollard column by not les
than 5000. with q possibility OF
5000 to 10000.
The other districts, according t.
Informal reports from Pollard head
quarters stand about as follows:

MIAMI RUM TRADE

Florida Resort Area Alive
With SmuggIers, Is Tes-
timony at Inquiry.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla, April II.
Testimony that 5000 persons are en-
gagged in the LIQUOR traffic at Miami
created sensation at yesterdays hear
ing for three members of the crew Of
the Coast Guard boat alleged to have
used machine-gun and pistol fire to halt
a rum-runner as it fled up the Miami
River early Sunday morning. Stray
shots were reported to have struck
buildings ashore, also a houSeboat
moored at the rivers edge.
William s. Prince, Federal customs
border patrol inspector of the Florida
East Coast from st. Augustine to Miami,
testified that the Miami River Inlet is
hot spot" for the loading of liquor.
He declared boats frequently were load
ed with swamp liquor" at Hialeah, a
western suburb; doated out to the bay
and run back as imported stuff"
1000 on Miami Beach.
Prince estimated that of the 5000
persons he said were engaged in the
rum business, 1000 were on Miami
Beach, 500 in Coral Gables and a large
number in Hialeah. He gave Miami's
proximity to the British Bahamas as
the chief reason for the activity in the
liquor traffic and the problems Of en-
forcement officers.
Harold Lopes, lookout on the Govern
ment boat, testified that all three of its
crew fired at the rum-runner during the
chase He said he himself had fired
several shots from a pistol, as had
Boatswain j. r. Ingraham, in command
of the boat, and that Motor Machinists
Mate Sam Jones had sent approximate
" 40 machine-gun bullets at the craft.
