All Of these jobs represent mere

office is a prerogative Of citizen

made in proportion TO their ad-

Byrd May Not Answer
Parsons Election Contest
By the Associated Press

Indications are Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, will not sub
NIT an answer to the contest Of
election notice left with the Senate
Secretary on behalf of Lester Par
sons, Norfolk Republican.
1t was learned yesterday Senator
Byrd has not prepared an answer
and has made no plans to do so.
John Locke Green, Republican
treasurer of Arlington County, pre-
pared the petition on behalf of Mr..
Parsons, defeated by Senator Byrd
in the November election,
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, against whom a similar
petition was filed, recently sub
mitted an answer to the clerk Of
the House Mr.. Smith contended
his opponent, Lawrence Michael,
Republican, comedies that he was
defeated" and asked that the case
be dismissed. He asserted the suit
was an attempt to "circumvent by
political manipulation the adverse
decision of the Federal courts in the
matter"
The petitions contend the elec-
tions are void because sections OF
the State Constitution are "arbi-
trary and unreasonable" in the re-
quIrement of a poll tax payment
before voting.
