The Legislative Race.

While we have no disposition to
hurry the action of the Democratic
Executive Committee we feel ii due
to the party TO call the ohairman's at
tention to the very short time remain
ing until the August election. There
is strong inclination on the part
of many Democrats of the county to
make no nomination for the lower
house ofthe Legislature. Whether this
is the opinion of majority OF the
party the chairman, Of course, has no
means of knowing. Sure it is that
we must take some action in the
Senatorial race. We all virtually
conccde that DR.. Prewitt, the express
cd choice of Hopkins county, is enti-
tied to the nomination. lie should
receive our official instruction to that
end. But, as to the propriety Of
nominating candidate for the lower
house, this should be left TO the popu-
lar majority for decision. The execu.
tive Committee has no right 10 de-
eide tho question for tho people, Il
is clearly the duty Of tho committed
to call convention or 10 devise somt
other means whereby the people may
make known their wishes: lfanythins
