Old Dominion Comes Back Into the Ranks Richmond, Va., Nov. 5.?John Garland Pollard, former professor of law at the college of William and Mary, was elected governor of Virgnia tonight in what turned out to be a landslide for the Democratic party. The Democratic nominee led his opponent, Dr. William Mosely Brown, nominee of the anti-Smith Democrats and Republicans, in every congressional district and with less than twothirds of the total vote tabulated, had amassed a lead of close to 50,000 votes. Pollard's election was conceded by Brown headquarters at 10.10. At hty- r'^urns from 1,080 of the state's 1,083 precincts gave Pollard 09,038, Brown 51,457. The overwhelming victory of the Democratic party was a surprise to veteran politicians on both sides, although Pollard headquarters had made predictions of a "substantial majority" for the Democratic gubernatorial aspirant. The campaign preceding the election was the most spirited since Reconstruction days. Anti-Smith Democrats, organized last year by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and other dry leaders, in opposition to the presidential candidacy of Alfred -E. Smith allied themselves with the Virginia Republican party in an effort to wrest state control from the Democratic party, which had held sway since Reconstruction. The campaign eclipsed all*'previous statd contests for political oratory and debates between leaders. Virginia i.s the first of the five "Hoover states" in the erstwhile "Solid South" to hold a state election since the "Solid South" was broken in the presidential campaign last year. The return to Democratic ranks was even more dramatic than* the departure last year. Iirown was never in the lead in-the unofficial tabulation of returns after the first precinct reported. t James H. Price, Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, and John R. Saunders, indorsed by the party For rq-election as attorney general, were swept into office along with the Democratic standard-bear- | er. Doctor Pollard was a staunch supporter of the Democratic national vicLct itt the presidential campaign,^ making a number of speeches in support of Alfred E. Smith. He is a "bone dry" and deceived the official endorsement of the Anti-Saloon League in the campaign as did his opponent. Prohibition did not become an issue in the campaign although_Bishop Cannon placed it among the issues in calling for a repudiation of state Democratic leaders who supported Al Smith. Bishop Cannon coined the term "Raskobism" in criticism of John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and coalition leaders denounced "Raskobism" from the hustings during the campaign.
