Primary Rival B|ames
Byrd for Failure 10
Redistrict Virginia

Failure of the Virginia General
Assembly to redistrict the State
this year is the responsibility of
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia his Democratic primary op-
ponent said yesterday.
Francis PickenS Miller of Char
lottesville made the accusation at
picnic rally of his Fairfax cam
paign workers in Burke.
Hits Poll Tax Again.
GAS everyone knows, the ma
chine bosses do not regard the
State Constitution as the supreme
law of Virginia. If they had, they
would have redistricted the State
for Senate and House seats
Instead they f1outed the clear
mandate of the Constitution
That is the reason call upon
you to eliminate the man respon-
sible for these conditions Mr.
Miller said.
He repeated earlier criticism of
the Virginia poll tax law as a
measure designed to keep the num-
ber of voters in the State as small
as possible.
IF there were no poll tax, we
could beat Harry Byrd this sum-
mer by 100000 votes" he declared.
Voting Record Cited.
Mr.. Miller said his opponent
made inaccurate misleading and
deceptive" statements in a speech
Friday night at Bland. Va. Sena-
tor Byrd was quoted as saying
that Mr.. Miller only attacked 19
of his votes in the Senate during
his 19 years when he cast nearly
$4,000 votes.
mot only have referred to
certain specific votes as i1lustra-
tive of hundreds of votes that were
bad but in speech after speech I
referred to the percentage of his
votes which were bad" Mr.. Miller
asserted.
II have stated again and again
that over period of years he has
voted over two-thirds of the time
with the Republican Party ."

lit right away.

hearing on the 1928 capital
improvement program will be held

mother. Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett.
Right now. a large shipment
of books remains stored in a

tramped, waded, swan and tum-
bled ranged from 20 to SO miles
He said he frequently crossed his
