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.

In reply t<> charges of Senator

committee, denies that he is a
"stock gambler." Mr. Raskob says
that he always buys his stocks outright
and holds them until he thinks
they are selling for all they are
worth.
