Arlington Treasurer
Attacks COP Faction
Led by Maj. Wise
John Locke Green Says
DoveI's Opponents Are
Too Friendly With Byrd
~ the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. 15.-The
battle between factions for leader
ship of the Republican party in
Virginia has brought from John
Locke Green, Arlington County
treasurer. the assertion that the
faction headed by Maj. Henry Wise
OF Albemarle has been more inter-
ested in possible patronage than in
building a real opposition party in
the State.
Mr.. Green is identified with I. r.
Dovel of Luray, who was elected
State chairman Of the party at the
convention at Roanoke last spring
and whose resignation now has been
asked by the Republican State Exec
utive Committee. Mr.. Dovel said
last week that he would not resign
and Mr.. Green emphasized that the
chairman sis not going to resign
under any conditions"
Answers Newspapers Inquiry.
Mr.. Green's statement, given the
Richmond News-Leader in answer to
that newspapers inquiry as to the
real reason" behind the contest,
also charged that the Virginia Dem
ocratic organization, headed by Sem
ator Byrd. and the Republican lead
ers. headed by Maj. Wise, were will
ing to do business" with each other.
I'VE look upon the Byrd machine
as neither Democratic nor Repub-
lican," Mr.. Green said. THE Byrd
machine, In some places where the
Republicans are numerous, is per-
fectly willing to do business with
Republicans who are suhservient to
it, but, on the other hand, where Re-
publcans are less numerous and
constitute a small minority, the
Byrd machine rides ruthlessly over
them"
Charges "Open" Trading.
From his "ls years experience
with the so-called Republican party
in Virginia" the Arlington treasurer
said he had found most of these
would-be Republican leaders inter-
ested only in the outcome Of Fed
eral jobs and in a great many cases
they traded openly with the Byrd
machine"
The State Executive Committee,
IN asking Mr.. Dovel to step out, also
gave direction Of the Republican
presidential campaign in Virginia to
Clarence Ahalt. Arlington, a men,
Der Of the Wise faction.
The Arlington official said Maj.
Wise and his group are against
any move that might actually build
a two-party government" in vir-
ginia.

Filling Of Vacancy
On State Corporation
Commission DELAYED
Dorden Studies Legality
Of Law Involving
Interim Appointment
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 15.-An
appointment to the State Corpora
ton Commission to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Thom-
as w. Ozlin will not be made until
the latter part of the month, Gov.
Darden said yesterday.
The Governor made the an
nouncement after a conference with
State Senator Robert o. Norris, jr.,
Lively, q leading candidate for the
post. Earlier in the day he had
said decision might be reached
within q day or two.
There was no comment from
either the Governor or Senator Nor
ris.
Studies Law in Case.
The Governor is still studying the
question of the constitutionality of
1914 act Of the General Assembly
prescribing that an interim appoint
ment by the Governor shall be for
a term ending 80 days after the
convening of the next General As
sembly.
A plan considered by the Governor
is to have this law tested by the
State Court Of Appeals-perhaps by
having the State controller or treas
urer withhold compensation to the
new appointee. The appointee
could then contest the action
through court proceedings.
Concerning this 1914 act, Attorney
General A. P. Staples has ruled that
the new law undertakes to impose
upon the Governor the duty to ap-
point for a term ending 30 DAYS
after the commencement Of the next
session Of the General Assembly,
whereas the constitution REQUIRES
such an appointment to be made to
I'LL the office for the unexpired term
or until his successor be chosen as
provided by law"
Might Be Time for Test Case.
The State Court of Appeals meets
next in Staunton September 4
Should a member of the General
Assembly be appointed before the
END OF August, there still might be
time enough for the test case to
reach the court during its septem-
Der term.
The Governor has indicated there
are other candidates in addition t.
Senator Norris, but there has been
no announcement Of additional one,
from the General Assembly. L. Nc
Carthy Downs, State Auditor O,
Public Accounts, has said he would
be q candidate If it were ruled that
q member of the General Assembly
Is not eligible.
