WRG|N|ANS VOTING
AT PRIMARY TODAY
Democrats at Polls to Select
Nominees for Con-
greSS.

Virginia Democratic voters went to
the polls today with interest in the pri-
maries centering largely on the eighth
congressional district. From all sections
this morning came reports of heavy
balloting.
While the ruling of Attorney General
John r. Saunders, barring last years
supporters of DR.. William Moseley
Brown from participating in today's
election, caused some CONSERVATION.
there were few indications that any
challenges we're being made.
Leaders Deplore Ruling.
Political leaders generally deplors the
Saunders ruling. and while the Demo-
Gratis believe that the opinion Is tech
nically correct, they feel it unwise In
the interest of party harmony, especial
ly In view fthe apparent inconsis-
tency with last years opinion allowing
Hoover supporters to participate in
party elections.
Just what effect the ruling will have
on the size of todays vote is largely
problematical. It is understood that
several Judges have announced they
will challenge the votes of known
Brown supporters. The three leading
candidates, however, State senator
Frank L. Ball, Judge Howard w. Smith
and Thomas r. Keith, have issued in
structions to their workers not to stir
up bad feeling at the polls. The ruling
has not been officially brought to the
attention of the election officials.
Dry Issue Casts Doubt.
Workers in all the camps were at
the polls early today and plans had
been made to see that all voters pledged
are transported to and from the cleo
ton booths. One fact that appears
noticeable this year is the large num-
Der of persons who have not reached a
final decision on the actual eve of cleo
ton. Those who regard the prohibition
issue as the main problem VIII vote
without question for Ball if dry; but
If wet they are confronted with choice |
between four differing personalities. |
Other issues still further comphcate |
one of the most interesting and hotly |
contested elections held in the district |
In many years.

LEESBURG, Va, August 5.-An I'M

FIGHT INTENSE IN CULPEPER.
Smith and Keith Followers Claiming
Victory.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CULPEPER. Va, August 5.-Nowhere
has the fight for the nomination for
Congress in the eighth Virginia district
been waged with more ardor than In
this county Although both Smith and
Keith adherents are claiming the
county for their respective candidates,
it is generally admitted that the ma
jority on any side will be very close, and
both the Smith and Keith workers are
casting an anxious eye upon the
chances of Senator Ball of Arlington,
for it Is generally accepted that Senator
real "bone-dry" voters Of the county,
and that there are many of these was
shown in recent elections. MIR. Keith's
popularity seems based upon personal
reasons, as he has many friends in this
county who are putting in hard work
for their favorite, but these friends do
not include the bone drys. to whom his
public utteranceS upon modification or
repeal of the prohibition law have given
considerable offense.
Many Of the leading Democrats of
town and county are heartily indorsing
Judge Howard w. Smith and putting
in untiring work for him in every Sec
ton of the county, and it is generally
conceded that there will be more than
scattering Of votes cast here for both
Capt. Crandal Mackey and Attorney z.
H.. DeJarnette.
One of the, county weeklies, the
Virginia Star has been active in its
support of the candidacy OF Judge
Smith all through the campaign; the
other, the Culpeper Exponent, while
apparently not actively indorsing any
of the other candidates, has been active
against Judge Smith.
Senator Ball, Capt. Mackey and At
torney DeJarnette have all made pub
lie addresses in Culpeper, but were
greeted by small crowds. Both Mr..
Keith and Judge Smith have confined
their activities to personal contacts
with the voters. It Is expected that q
large vote will be poiled at every pre-
cinct in the county, as interest in the
outcome of the election is intense.

ARLINGTON VOTE HEAVY.
Unusually Large Number Appear Early

ny a STAFF Correspondent of The star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, August 5.-The predic-
ton of a heavy vote in Arlington Coun-
" in the Democratic primary for the
selection of a nominee for the House Of
Representatives appeared justified this
morning by the unusually large num-
her of voters who appeared at the poilS
before going to work.
In few primaries in Arlington County
have there been shown the amount Of
enthusiasm that Is being evidenced to-
day This may be attributed largely
To the fact that two of the candidates,
State Senator Prank L. Ball and Capt.
Crandal Mackey, are both citizens OF
the county and that the former Is run
ming on a bone-dry ticket and the latter
on a platform that is decidedly wet.
Workers for both of these candidates
were very active at the polls, but could
not altogether oyershadow the ac-
Invites of Sheriff Howard 3. Fields and
his organization in the support OF
Judge Howard w. Smith Of Alexandria.
Fields has managed Judge Smiths
campaign in the county since the be-
ginning and as he Is seasoned poll
ticial and an influential citizen. the
effects of his efforts are certain to be
apparent when the votes are counted.
There was nothing to indicate today
that the principal contest is not still
between Ball and Smith. Supporters OF
the former are predicting that he viii
have between 5000 and $500 Of the
1000 votes that are expected 10 be cast.
q prediction that Is not shared by either
the Smith or Mackey supporters, THESE
claiming that Smith will have between
500 and 1000 and Mickey between 500
and 500 votes Keith does not expect
much vote in Arlington, and would
probably be satisfied with 200 The
vote for De Jarnette will probably be.
negligible.
Both Ball and Smith are counting
upon their large plurality in their own
sections to help them through the coun-
ties where the fight Is to be much closer.
Failure of the expected home plurality
of either would, in the opinion Of po-
litical observers. spell certain defeat.
While Judge Smith has conducted a
quiet campaign throughout the entire
district, Senator Ball has been excep-
tionally active, closing his campaign last
night with an address over radio Station
WJSV. In this speech he reiterated his
stand on. the prohibition question. ex-
pressed satisfaction over his belief that
the campaign comes to close without
hard feelings or bitterness between the
candidates and appealed to his follow
ers to refrain from any action at the
polls today that would mar the other
wise pleasant situation.
The polls opened at Sill an. this
morning, and will close at 7:16 o'clock
tonight.

BY the Associated Press.
Recommendation by the Senate

man Nye as a result of the investiga-
tions the committee is carrying on in

The legislation. he believed, will be

Nye said, I'VE viii have figures on the
costs Of primary. and general election
campaigns in "a States-with a show
ing OF a single campaign at the price
OF perhaps million dollars, and of
another at as little. probably, as $500.
The unacceptable conclusion Is that leg
lislation Is necessary"
A legislative program proposed more
than year ago by Senator Bronson
Cutting, New Mexico. Republican, de-
signed to curb the high cost Of elections,
has been brought to light again by
Senator Nye. He took 1t for study, from
the files Of the Senate judiciary Com
mittee, where 1t has rested since Cutting
it.
Senator Cuttings secretary said today
the New Mexican would join In an ac-.
tive campaign for early action on some
such legislation.
Nye Is working on q plan involving
legislation to provide that each State
set the limit Of election expenditures
and pay these expenses In final pri-
maries.
This would mean preliminary pri-
maries to eliminate candidates who
came in merely because Of the freedom

system" he continued.
IF the State set the limit, knowing
the State would bear the expense, It
seems to me the Legislatures could be
depended upon to keep them down. It
seems to me that would prevent trans
lation into actually Of the aphorism we
are hearing more and more often-that
