Real Race Declared
Between Miller, Battle
BY the Associated Press

More political thunder echoed
from Southwest Virginia this week
end for the second week in sue
cession.
This time Horace H. Edwards,
candidate for Governor. was the
object of attack as a spokesman
for a rival camp declared the
real race" is between Frances
Pickens Miller and John S. Battle.
This sentiment came from Mr..
Miller's Southwest Virginia CAM
paign chief, E. H. Mcconnell OF
Scott County.
Last week Mr.. Edwards was in
dorsed by former Representative
John w. Flanagan, Democrat. of
Virginia.
Mr.. Mcconnell denied Mr.. Ed
wards announced political in
dependence" and declared the
former Richmond Mayor and ex-
Democratic chairman in Virginia
cannot escape his record"
Socialist Party Renamed.
There is no doubt but that
the real race is between Col Mil
Ter, the liberal. and (State) Sena-
tor Battle. the reactionary," Mr.
Mcconnell said.
Other political developments
found the Socialist Party OF Vir-
ginia changing it's label to the
Virginia Social-Democratic Party
and emerging with a slate of can
didates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Attorney General
for the November general election.
The party with a new label
named j. B. Brayman of Lynch
burg for Governor. Clarke T. Robb,
Herndon, for Lieutenant Governor
and Sidney Moore, Portsmouth,
for Attorney General.
BOwden Praises Miller.
Mr.. Miller came in for words
of praise from a past president of
the Virginia State Federation Of
Labor. r. T. BoWden, speaking
at rally of the Allied Printing
Trades Council of Richmond, said
that a "well-informed" labor vote
would be for Mr.. Miller.
From the same platform Jack
Smith, president of the State
Labor Federation, told members
of the five printing trade unions
to take a look at the record
and then vote against Remmie
L. Arnold, the gubernatorial can
didate from Petersburg.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Battle received
important support from Repre-
sentative Harrison of the 7th Vir-
