developments yesterday.
Representative Smith of the 9Th
District, disclosed that he would vote
for Mr.. Truman and Senator Bark
ley, but he also made clear that he
was not stumping for the regular"
nominees.
Mr.. Smiths position is the same
as that of most other Democratic
candidates in Virginia. Although
aligned with the Byrd organization
and therefore at odds with Presi-
dent Truman, these candidates take
the position that they are honor
bound to support others in the
party who, like themselves, were
nominated by regular primary or
convention.
Indifference Expressed.
At the same time, they are making
no overt effort to line up votes for
Mr.. Truman. In some cases, thei
State can6idates have ;said frankly

tended to back Mr.. Truman.
Chairman w. Franklin Gooding Of
Vienna. said he would not accept
the designations until he obtained q
ruling from the chairman Of the 9Th
District Democratic Committee,
Gardner L. Boothe of Alexandria.
Mr.. Boothe said yesterday that
the only comment he could make
was that the General, Assembly
made 1t possible for Democrats,
other than the regular" nominees,
to get on the Virginia ballot and
that Gov. Thurmond, the States
Fighter, had done so.
Anybody who votes for the Thur
mond ticket is voting for a Demo-
cratic ticket, just as those voting
for the Truman ticket" Mr.. Boothe
said.
