families are now without adequate
water facilities and are forced to
haul water from the Prince Georges

however. that all those who have
petitioned for the water would have
to promise to use it if the line were

Virginian Runs
For Congress
To Test Poll Tax
Stote Apportionment
Questioned; Levy Held
Bar to Half of Citizens
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Oct. ia new
challenge to Virginias poll tax ap-
peared today in the form of decla-
ration of candidacy for Representa-
tive at-large filed with the secre-
tary of the Commonwealth by Henry
l.. Saunders, Ashland.
Obviously the first step toward
trying hitherto unused grounds for
attacking the poll tax in the courts
the petition strikes at the capita
ton tax on constitutional grounds
via the apportionment of Virginia S
congressional districts.
If sustained, it apparently would
have the effect of throwing all OF
Virginia's 1914 congressional elec-
tlons to Statewide basis.
Points Raised Against Tax.
The points raised, in brief, con-
tend:
That the Virginia poll tax has
had the effect of abridging the right
to vote of more than so per cent of
the citizens, contrary to section of
the 14th amendment of the United
States Constitution, and that, there
fore, he present apportionment Is
void.
That, on the basis OF that con-
tention and further provisions of the
Constitution, Virginia Is not en-
titled to nine Representatives and
they cannot be elected by the con-
gressional districts.
Mr.. Saunders notice OF intention
to become candidate has the back
ing OF both AFL and CIO labor
groups as well as the Southern and
Virginia Electoral Reform Leagues,
organizations which have as goals
elimination of the poll tax as pre-
requisite to voting.
If his notice of candidacy is re-
jected by the secretary of the COM
monWealth, that rejection appar-
emily will become the basis of taking
the issue to the courts for a ruling.
Fills Formal Candidacy.
In his notice. Mr.. Saunders sets
forth that he is qualified to become
a candidate, includes the necessary
petitions signed by $50 qualified
voters and the necessary affidavits.
Please advise me promptly" Mr.
Saunders added in his letter to Ralph
E. wilkins, Commonwealth secretary
whether or not you will accept this
notice announcing myself a candi-
date at large in the State of Vir-
ginia for the House of Representa-
tives in the Congress of the United
States, to be elected by the electors
OF the State at large in the general
election to be held on November 7.
1914"
Mr.. Saunders, native of Ashland
is a motion picture operator in a
Richmond theater. Long a leader
in organized labor, he also was active
in founding the Electoral Reform
Leagues and is a former member
OF the executive board of the Viz
glnla Electoral Reform League.
Mr.. Wilkins said today he would
be more than likely" to ask Attor-
ney General A. P. Staples for a
ruling as to what to DO with the
declaration.
Mr., wilkins said the declaration
reached him this morning and that
he had not had an opportunity to
determine what course he would
take.

The Commando shots were made

planned for the picture company by
the ranking Canadian officers who
would have planned the raid if it
