furry of political activity in the
closing hours of the 1856 Cen
eral Assembly session Saturday
brought to light a three-way
contest for the job of Speaker
Iof the House of Delegates in
1858.
Friends of Delegate George M.
Cochran of Staunton launched
him as an outright candidate.
The candidacy of Floor Leader
John Warren Cooke of Matthews
and Delegate j. j. Williams, jr.,
Iof Henrico, was conditioned on
whether Speaker e. Blackburn
Moore decided not to seek a fifth
term as the presiding officer.
Mr.. Cochran's supporters ap-
Iparently got off to a faster start
than those behind Mr.. Cooke and
Mr.. Williams and said they had
close to half the House member
ship pledged to their man.
Support for Mr.. Cochran was
built around the Young Turk
element of the House that took
control away from the admins
ttration on several occasions.
Delegate Cochran said: al
though the next regular session
of the Assembly is almost two
years away. in view Of the sub
Istantial support rendered me ]

to be a candidate for the speak
ership."

only $2.7 billion of that amount.

For the current year and next

They say that if the lower
