RICHMOND, Va, October o.
Virginia will elect a Governor. lieuten-
ant-governor, attorney general and
members of the House of Delegates on
November Z. and although the cam
paign Is rapidly drawing to an end the
people generally do not give any in
dfcation Of being aware of its existence.
In gatherings, city and rural. where
public matters are discussed little mem
ton is ever made Of the campaign for
State offices 1t looks as if the Demo-
Gratis will have their customary walk
over, electing the three chief officers
by large majorities and sending to the
lower branch Of the Legislature all the
100 members except the five or six
which customarily 60 to the Repub-
licans.
A very active campaign has been
made by the Socialists, but 1t appears
to have made no impression on the
electorate. Henry A. Wise, Republican
candidate for the Senate against Harry
F. Byrd. Democrat, and Fred w. Nc
Wane, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor against George C. Peery, Demo-
crat, have made some verbal onslaughts
on their opponents, but there has been
failure OF public repsonse The peo-
pie Of the State as a whole are un-
doubtedly tired of politics.
On the other hand there Is general
interest in and discussion of the ques-
tion Of what plan of State liquor con-
troll will be evolved by the State Com
mittee Of Is which is now studying that
question. Hearings on the subject have
been held by the committee this week.

Less Than 25 Per Cent of 20 Prof.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., October 28.-
What this State wants to know is this
II the Federal Governments claim Is
correct that nearly $4,000, ,000. 900 Of the
public works funds already have been
allotted and if the Federal Government
continues to urge speed in mapping out
projects, why Is it that of 29 projects
approved by the Rhode Island agencies
formed to pass upon such things. less
than 25 per cent has been approved by
the administration at the capital?
A dozen cities and towns and five
State departments here have applied
for total Of SIS 1898, ,389 for public works
projects. The State agencies set up to
pass upon the projects have approved
applications for $4,587,489 worth of
work. The Federal administration has
approved $856,000, or less than one
quarter There is no blinking away the
fact that $3,886,7 ,703 worth of work
awaits the action of Washington, de-
spite the continued cry from the Capt.
tai that States should hurry and get
things done.
Engineers hired by the State have
worked out three alternative plans for
a great metropolitan sewage disposal
system to care for the greater part Of
the State. but what is worrying munich
pal officials In the towns and cities
which would be called upon to pay the
costs Is what the borrowing of S27, ,000,-
600, the revised cost estimate, would
ultimately do to their tax rates.
The engineers say that first, the sew
age of each community could be ade-
quately treated by separate disposal
plants and discharged into the bay;
second, two district works could be 10

no money, except from bonds, is now

ANTFLyNCH|NG ACT
Governors Decision Is Direct
Result of Princess Anne
Episode Last Week.
BY ]. c. DEPONAI.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 28.-Enact-
ment of an anti-lynching law, or at
least a revision of the States legal sys-
tenn, which. it is believed, will forestall
lynchings, will be urged by Gov. Albert
G. Ritchie at the special session OF the
Legislature, to be called next month.
This was decided upon this week by the
Governor and is direct result of the
Princess Anne lynching last week.
According to the announcement the
plan will embrace the passage of anti
lynching laws. "of a nature yet to be
determined" and a revision of the
States legal system to expedite action
in the courts. The Governor laid
particular emphasis upon the necessity
for increasing the speed of the county
courts.
The Governor stipulated liquor legis-
lation as being first on the program,
but in his announcement he went into
considerable detail to discuss the anti
lynching program
This session is principally TO regulate
liquor" the Governor said. "but the
legal system will be examined with a
view to bringing it up to point where
it can meet situations like that on the
CsdStcIu OIlOlS ldSt Wcch.
Seeks to Speed Trials.
"These efforts will include considera-
ton of an anti-lynching law and
speeding up on trials.
I'm Baltimore, where there are a
considerable number of judges, trials
are handled expeditiously
In the counties. there are only three
judges to circuit of three counties,
with these jurists having to act in sew
eral capacities
Members of the bar in the counties
are not so numerous. Attorneys many
times have to appear in the conduct
of a number of cases of the various
kinds coming before the county courts.
These factors have bearing on the
docketing of cases"
In addition to lynching and the regu-
lation of liquor after repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment, the program in
cludes the authorizing of counties to
incur further Indebtedness to get relief
River to oyster dredgers.
Aims to Aid Counties.
The object of the relief legislation,
it was explained, will be to enable
counties better to meet the require
ments for obtaining Federal relief
funds. The present law forces the
locality, city, county or State, to put
up 10 per cent of the necessary amount.
The Federal Government then con-
tributes the remaining 80 per cent.
Under existing laws the counties are
unable to borrow to obtain 70 per cent
and are thus ineligible for Federal
funds. New legislation will be designed
to remove these barriers.

Hotel Men Launch Drive.

West Virginia hotel men have started
to have the Legislature, If and when it
meets in extraordinary session, with
draw the proposed amendment 10 re-
peal the States prohibition amendment
which the people are to vote on In the
November, 1884, election, and submit a
substitute proposal which would provide
for outright repeal.
As the proposed amendment stands
now it seeks to outlaw the saloon.
At their annual convention here a
few days ago. the hotei men adopted
a resolution. in the form of petition
to Gov H. G. Kump and to the Legis-
lature. to rescind this proposal and to
submit an outright repeal proposal, pre-
ferring that the matter of control be
left entirely with the Legislature.
If liquor Is sold at "other" places.
probably next door to them, hotel men
claim, they would receive all of the
grief and would be without any means
of protecting themselves. Guests would
purchase liquors outside and take 1t to
their rooms and damage hotel property.
the proprietors say. but II they were
permitted to serve liquor in their estah-
lishments, they could exercise Q certain
amount Of control and at the same time
take in enough profit to make up for
damage caused by drinkers.
AL We want Is just enough profit to
pay for handling and to make up for
damages to our property" the hotel
men say.
Gov. Kump is understood to be con-
templating the appointment of board
of citizens to study the liquor problem
as it will affect the State after repeal
of the eighteenth amendment.

RALEIGH, N. c., October 28.-North

against repeal. That fact has more
significance in North Carolina than 1t

These accusations, directed at Nc
kee and Edward j. Flynn, Secretary
Of State and Democratic leader in
the Bronx. were so hysterical and un-
supported by facts that the New
York Herald Tribune. which is back
ing La Guardia, would not print
this part of his speech because the
editors considered it libelous. The New
York Times, also supporting La Guar
dia, printed 1t, but bluntly pointed out
that La Guardia was not sticking to
the facts
La Guardia's charge was that Ed
ward J. Flynn and Mckee had perse-
cuted Louis j. Willard. Bronx con-
tractor, until Willard and his wife. at
different times, had committed suicide.
He apparently had intended to refer
to William j. Flynn, public works
commissioner in the Bronx and sup
porter Of Mayor O'Brien. who was ac-
cused during the Seabury inquiry of
being harsh in his dealings with Will
lard. Edward j. and William j. Flynn
are not related. Neither Mckee nor
Edward J. Flynn ever had any deal

feeling was that if La Guardia acci-

unethical campaign practices.
Has Independent Backing.
La Guardia has the support Of the
local Republican organization, and
such national and State Republican
leaders as Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of
the Treasury under President Hoover;
Charles H. Tuttle, former United States
New York, and W. Ktngsland Macy,
state Republican chairman. However,
his greatest strength is among the in
disgusted with the corruption and ar
rogance of Tan1many that they want
al machine rule demolished in the
city. The feeling among the inde-
pendentS is to throw the bosses out"
1t Is understood that Mckee, If
elected. would rebuild the Democratic
cient lines. but the rank and file of
independents are opposed to any kind
OF local political machine. In connec-
ton with this issue, Mckee has stressed
the fact that the election of La Guar
Ola would mean the strengthening of
the Republican organization, which is
the only machine supporting La Guar
Ola. This has fallen on somewhat bar
rem ground. because Tammany has
been the only political machine strong
enough to talk about in this city in
many years.
The factor, however, that makes this
writer believe La Guardia will win, re-
gardleSs Of the way the tide flows dur
ing the next 10 days, is the attitude of
Tammany. The old guard of Tammany
would much rather see La Guardia win
than Mckee. If La Guardia wins they
will be out Of power for four years. at
the end Of which they probably will get
back in the saddle. They realize also
that II Mckee wins a new Democratic
machine will be formed, using city,
State and Federal patronage, which will
break the back of Tammany for decades
