The Virginia papers are wasting a
great deal of ink over the size of the
State Democratic coventions. 1t is
claimed that a convention with 1900
to l,7OO delegates. is entirely too
large. There is nothing new in this.
Every observant man knows that it
is physical impossibility for so
large body to be a deliberative
body. Nor is it intended to be, and
that explains why it is so large. The
bigger the body the easier for the
leaders to control it's action under n
cut and Cried programme. If it Is
desirable to make the convention n
deliberative body, the number of
delegates will have to come under
500, probably considerably UNDER
