Against him in the November election will run Prof. William Moseley Brown, 35, of Washington & Lee, nominated by a fusion of Republicans under C. Bascom Slemp and anti-Smith Democrats led by Bishop James Cannon Jr. (TIME, July 8). Bishop Cannon has attempted to make the campaign issue: "Wet-Raskobism."

Nominee Brown, a 35-year-old professor of psychology at Washington & Lee University, was described as the state's "most cantankerous and catamountish campaigner," but when led to the platform he turned out to be a mild-mannered polite gentle man, still trailing a classroom atmosphere after him as he pleaded against bitterness, called...
