Speculation on Virginia Gubernatorial Campaign Ties
In Richmond on November 26 reports swirl around former Governor Henry C. Stuart and his possible advisory role to Senator Harry F. Byrd in the Virginia gubernatorial race. Officials deny formal pledges or campaign leadership by Stuart, while debates over party factions, bond issues, prohibition stances, and potential candidates–including C. Lee Moore–shape anticipation of a split in the dominant Democratic machine. A separate note highlights a vigorous race for the State Corporation Commission with Louis S. Epes, James P. Woods, and E. Mathews contesting, aiming to place a Tidewater or southwest voice on the panel.
