Il have led nice quiet life, which

"Yes, Penrod would be about 40

There are Penrods in America

as the hero Of the 'interregnum

Apathy Is Shown
In All But a Few
Virginia Districts
One Of Most Spirited
Races Is in Winchester,
Byrd's Home Area
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, July 29.-Can-
didates in a number of hotly con-
tested races for the Democratic
nomination for the State Senate and
House of Delegates brought their
campaigns to a climax this week
end, but apathy In next Tuesdays
primary was shown In most sections
of Virginia.
There are only II contests in 35
Senate districts involving is Of the
40 seats in the upper house and
only 20 contests in 80 house dis
tricts involving AZ Of the 100 seats.
Unopposed candidates have been de-
clared the party's nominees, while
many of the western districts NOM
mate by convention.
Rivalry between Democratic fac
tions headed by United States SEN
ator Byrd and Gov. Price is keen
in several of the races, but the small
number Of contests indicates that
any war between the factions Is at a
few salients and not on widespread
front.
Some Spirited Contest.
One of the most spirited contests
is the race between Senator Russell
Gather, Price leader in the upper
house, and Burr P. Harrison, in the
district composed of Clarke, Fred
erick and Shenandoah Counties and
the city of Winchester-Senato
Byrd's home district. Harrison is
commemorative attorney Of Fred
erick and has the backing of the
Byrd Organization.
The fight between Carter Glass,
jr., son of Virginia's senior United
States Senator. and Senator Charles
e. Burks in the Lynchburg- Camp
bell senatorial district, has also at
| tracted wide attention.
While Byrd-Price groups squared
off for battle in some sections, many
leaders in both groups were unop-
posed.
Virginia Democrats also nominate
Tuesday their candidates for county
treasurer, commissioner of revenue,
sheriff and commemorative attor-
ney and magisterial district Offices.
These contests overshadowed the
legislative contests in number Of
counties.
Charlotte County Contest.
Another focal point in the primary
is the race for the House of Dele
gates in Charlotte County where
David K. E. Bruce, who supported
Landon against Roosevelt, is seek
ing to unseat Delegate Berkeley D.
Adams, former chairman of the
State corporation and a Price sup
porter. Mr.. Bruce is a SON. law
of the late Secretary of the Treas
ury, Andrew Mellon.
Senator Maj. M. Hillard, who
represents the Norfolk County,
Portsmouth-South Norfolk district,
and strong Price supporter, is OPP
posed by Earle Cadmus of Ports
mouth, former member of the House
of Delegates who has the "organiza-
ton" support. Norfolk County is
also the scene of a spirited House
contest with Delegate E. T. Hum
phries and James N. Garrett run
ming in race with former Delegate
E. L. CAST and Charles l.. Gibson
for two seats.
