THE rRUrH ABOUT rue REVOLT


in order to head of the Independent
movement that has started up In Virginia
politics the party organs and some Of
the stump-speakors are exploiting the
great achievements OF Virginia Democra-

honestly husnanded.
This is an true and 1t Is the honor anu
credit of the Democratic party But these
facts simply emphasize the independent
movement that has set in. There is no
revolt AGAINST the Democratic party be-
cause of neglect or malfeasance. The zee
volt IS i'm spite OF all this ana that is lne
question which must command serious al
tcntion of the party leaders. The revolt
is against the organization which has
shown predisposition TO bossism. IL Is
not enough that public officers, who are
public servants, should be honest and
faithful in the discharge Of their duties
That is TO De expected, that is what they
are sworn TO DO, what they are paid 20
