THE ELECTIOA BILL.

I, is understood that an agreement mas
heen reached which Will result in me
nass,ng of a compromise election bli
through the Virginia Senate. with iaii
chance OF it's being approved by the
House also
Tho suetial constable feature is 10 be
abandoned. and the iAiterate OF phS 49,
cally disabled voter is to be at hpef'y
10 call upon any one Of the three Judges
NJ e,ec,ion 10 assist him in the prepare
ton of his ballot
1t can hardly be denied That the
friends of the Walton law have MADE
very generous concession in TINS matter
They might have prevented any inter
ference with the law this session. but IN
n compromising spirit they preferred to
meet the advocates Of change, not
merely half way. but more than haf way
The special constable has been the
subject OF much undeserved abuse In
our Judgment this Commonwealth never
had a set of election officers who. as
rule. were freer from blame than these
special cons tables have been Nor since
the war have We had fairer elections
than we have had under the Walton
law. The presence in the House and
Senate OF so many Republicans and Popr-
lists is standing protest against
the prejudice aroused ga.nst the law.
However, that this prejudice exists in
some localities, we cannot doubt. 1t Is
thought that the Walton law gives too
much power into the hands OF one man
the special constable. Now this objection
Is TO be obyiated in the new law by al
lowing every voter who capnot prepare
his own ballot to select any one OF the
three Judges 10 prepare the ballot for
him
The general scheme of the Walton
law meets. we think. with the approval
of the great mass of intelligent voters
OF this State. The greater number OF
its features have not been criticised at
all. and now that we are about to sacri-
flee the constable 10 satisfy the clamor
against him. and are TO provide for uni
formiy in the printing Of the ballot. We
might expect to have a surcease OF de-
nunciation and Of cries of fraud; but
We dare not entertain that hope. How
ever we may confidently appeal TO the
Judgment of the people. These we feel
sure will find no difficulty In believing
that we have done the best we could TO
remove the objections to the law, even
where we were satisfied that such OBJ
jections were groundless.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

Our Democratic STATE committee VIII
meet al the Exchange Hotel in this city on
the Goth instant to fix the time and place
for holding the next State convention
OF the party; also, TO fix the basis OF
representation in the same
AT the last gubernatoria. election
1s7.9i0 votes were cast for OFerrall; ana
Al the basis is made one delegate
for each 100 votes so cast, there
NAV be 1928 members in the conven-
ton. on the other hand. should The
basis DO made one delegate for each
90 votes so cast. the convention will con-
sist OF about 90 members. in the unlikely
event that all the members are pres
ent.
The standing argument In favor of
large convention is that ii enables each
county and city to recognize the services
OF many men who In no other way seek
favors of the party. II Is also said
that the larger the number Of delegates
coming from any county or city, the more
likely IL Is that the sentiment of that
community will be properly represented
In favor of small convention, II Is ar
gued that II Is more of deliberativo
body, and that II is better for Il county
or city to have a delegation OF picked
men than a large delegat ton, chosen with
out special reference TO the service that
Is to be performed.
1t matters very little, we think.
whether the basis is fixed at one dele
gate for 100 OF one for 800. provided the
city chosen for the conventions sitting
has the necessary hall and hotel ca
pacity II seems generally understood
that the convention will be held else
where than IN Richmond. at which our
people do not dcmur; but, II for any
reason. our State Committee should think
II desirable that the convention should
be held here. to the committee will
be- given positive assurance that
the convention will have warm
welcome TO our city. and that all
the necessary arrangements for the
convention will be made. The other cities
whose names are mentioned in con-
nection with the convention are Staun-
ton. Lynchburg and Roanoke. Each OF
these will have delegation here to

IMPORTANT POINT.

II will be observed that in the charter
changes proposed by the Chamber o.
Commerce it Is nowhere suggested that
any officer now elected by the people
shall hereafter be elected by commits
sloners. This is an important point TO
be kept In mind. The simple question
that viii be presented to the people when
the question comes to be argued before
them VIII be whether it would be better
for the Light Department and the Fl
nance Department 10 be managed
by commit ces Of the City Council or
commissions. such as the Police and
Fire Department commissions are. And
on this point II the Chamber of Com
merce would take the trouble to do so,
it could present to the voters Of this
city some statistical comparisons that
would be extremely interesting reading
Let the Chamber turn on the light a.
soon as possible and keep 1t on unit.
tn. ,,ec.a, election is held.
