II is DEMONSTRATED.


Almost like prophecy, the Public Led
ger of the goth OF December last, said:
1--WE have only to say that the cow
ard!y policy that has characterized the
action of certain party leaders in deal
ing with his (Shands) case Il g)ing to
cause more injury In the future to
SUCH LEADERS than to MIR. Stands
ana his friends, as will be amply DEM
onstrated later on"
All that time 1t was the pleasure Of
the Virginian- Pilot TO quote In full the
remarks of the Ledger. for they so for
chilly foretold the truth. that nothing
more was necessary
How amply. indeed, have the lead
ers" been dealt with! The white peo-
pie of Southampton. by an almost un-
rarallelled vote, condemned the State
Committee. Then came the Senate of
Virginia. Right in the very midst of
the Machine. there were enough liber-
ty-lovng men to place the seal of con-
Committee, and they deserve praise and
communication.
Now we come down to individuals
Who were the men that composed the
committee? They must answer person.
ally for their vote. They must come
before their own constituents and an
swcr to them for a vote that went to
disfranchise the white people of the
Thirty-second Senatorial District. That
district is part of the Second Congress
sional District. Those men vote with
the Democrats of Norfolk, and stand
side by side with us in Democratic SUI
premacy.
Are the Democrats of this city going
TO allow the votes to go unavenged?
Are they indeed going to re-elect the
very man who cast his vote against
Stands, against the choice of the
WHITE PEOPLE?
We ask this In all earncstness. as a
party measure; as a matter of p,inci-
pie; as matter of common justice; as
a matter that appeals to the manhood
OF every voter Have you not right
to help select your own candidate? Has
any man the power TO take away from
YOU that right?
But the offcnse is more aggravated.
from the fact that this paper petitioned,
begged, and even pleaded, with the
State Executive Committee in behalf of
the people of Norfolk. and the people of
Southampton and Isle of Wight. No
more attention was paid to the request
THAN If THE PEOPLE WE'RE A
LOT OF SERFS. But the PEOPLE do

nevertheless. when the vote came to be
taken AFTER THESE FEARFUL
EXPOSURES, some (if not alp Of the
caucus committee who reported against
Stands. stuck to that report in spite of
its inherent vice. as shown by Senator
Glass. and voted against Shands! Was
not that good time for them to correct
their mistake, IL it was 4 mistake?
Observe, too. that Senator Glass
comes pretty near locating the date of
the garbling proccss-"since last Sep
TENDER the State Committee has been
proceeding under plan of organiza-
ton from which an important clause,
giving to local party authorities the
right to settle their local differences,
had been eliminated"
Fortunately. the venomous crusade of
the machine against Stands was foiled;
their strenuous efforts in that direction
were frustrated. There were independ-
ent and right-minded men enough in
the body to Vindicate Stands and adj
minister a crushing blow to his enc
mics, but something remains to be done.
Who garbled the Democratic plan of
organization "since last September ?"
The honest Democracy of the State will
never rest satisfied until that great
outrage has been cleared up and the
guilty author or authors exposed to
universal scorn. The ghost of that foul
deed will not down" at the bidding of
the State Committee, but will forever
confront them until it is laid" In an
orthodox manner. The Democratic
people do not regard the garbling of
their very plan or organiZation-the
mutilation OF their organic law-as a
little incident to be whlstled down
the wind by would-bc political bosses.
lit is a serious matter demanding the
gravest consideration. Let the guilty
fear and tremble for a terrible retribu
ton awaits them.

WHAT 1T MIGHT SAY.

The State Executive Committee has
suffered a dreadful misfortune and de-
serves the sympathy of all kind heart
ed people.
The committee, by some oversight,
most painful in its consequences, in the
hearing of the Stands case, overlook
ed little insignificant (?) clause, with
the result that it decided against Mr..
Stands. and against the people, and
thereby kicked up n big row. Indeed,
even the Senate caucus placed It's ma
jcstic foot under the coat-tails Of the
committee and unceremoniously, and In
most undignified manner aided and
abctted the said committee in taking its
departure from the Senate cham err.
AS to the white people of Isle of
Wight. Nansemond and southampton,
the less said the better Misunder-
standing the very unfortunate State
Committee. those good people, raised
from the cradle to govern themselves,
turned upon the committee and sorely
rent and tore it. Indeed, the white peo-
ple in Southampton, almost to a man.
playrully wiped up the highways of
that grand old county with the com
mittce.
But why did all this happen? Was it
be ause the Honorable State Committee
did, or tried to do. something wrong?
A--4l-eii.. We ii,i.s<a TO de defend ~
Was it because the State Committee
desired to force upon those people a
candidate they did not want?
Ii was because the Honorable State
Committee overlooked a little clause
which provides that the District Com
mittees shall settle all their little diff
fcrcnces! Don't you see?
o. course. they overlooked it, or else
1t would have been obcyed; or else it
would have been referred to the SEN
ate Caucus in the report. OF course, 1t
would.
we rise to ask then: Should the Hon
orablc State Committee be condemned
because it is ncar-slghtcd and has no
Glasses?

TIE STATE CENTRAL COMMIT
TEE TIE SENATE CAUCUS
COMMITTEE AND THE
STANDS CASE.

If the State Central Committee had
no jurisdiction over the Senatorial con
troversy in the Thrsy-sccond district,
that ended the matter as to them for
jurisdiction Is the very foundation upon
which all authority rests and without
which no authority can exist Take
away It's Jurisdiction. and any at
tempt at interference was mere as
sumption. This is precisely the View
taken by the majority of the Senate
Caucus Committee, for in their report
they say
"On the other hand, If 1t (thc State
Central Commttee) did not have jurls-
diction. or IL the other reason given by
Senator Stands has been established.
then their decision was not final, and
we must determine the question before
us. without regard to the action OF the
State Committee"
II the State Committee did not have
jurisdiction, than their decision
W; s not final"
The only claim of the committee to
Jurisdiction was based upon the fol-
lowing clause, which they profess to
quote from the Democratic plan of or
ganization:
THE State Committee, thus consti-
tutod, is charged with the affairs of
the party, ana shall have power TO per
feet its organization and to direct its
conduct in obedience To the declaration
and policy of The party as the same
shall be set forth by the State conven-
tions. II may decide all questions at
issue which may arise in election dis
trlcss calculated to affect the harmony
and interest of The party"
But their report did not embrace the
following significant words, with which
the above sentence closed. viz:
but THE RESPECTIVE DIS
TRICTS SHALL MANAGE THEIR
OWN DISTRICT AFFAIRS"
A fearful "garble," as Senator Glass
characterized it. and no one denied IL
So it seems the law prescribed Il rule
directly in point-exactly fitted to the
case. and that rule is the doctrine of
home rule" and leaves each district
to settle all district matters. This was
essentially q district affair, and the
over it.
Senator Glass. OF Lynchburg, made
this terrific exposure. and, as reported
in the Richmond Dispatch of the next
day, said:
THAT since last September the state
Committee has been proceeding under
I a plan of organization, from which an
important clause. giving to local party
authorities the right to settle local DIFF
1erences, had been eliminated"
This statement was not denied 1t
has not yet been denied, so far as we
know. Indeed. Senator Glass fortified
his assertion by the bound files Of the
Richmond Dispatch and n reporter Of
that paper who was present; and as /,
Is understood that the chairman OF the
State Central Committee is also an i'm
portant element in the DISPATCH we
take 1t he would have denied the state
ment IL he could.
Senator Glass. in n charitable spirit,
also said that he had no idea that the
State Committee. nor the caucus com
mittee would have acted s it did had i,
known that the plan OF organization
was not presented intact"
We think that the Senator took a
very generous view of this matter for
notwithstanding his complete exposure
OF the garbling that had been done in

During all the noise and fuss, the

LET US REASON AGAIN.


We do not like to quarrel and fight.
We-would rather stand stannldnr 10
shoulder with our party leaders; fight
ing ever for the one good cause-Dem-
ocratic supremacy. We would like. In
meeting n fclIow-Democrat, TO say
Man and Brother
Eut whose fault is it that we do not?
Why is 1t that the Virglnian Pilot must
be ever fighting some OF our political
leaders? They are good men, and to IL
degree personally popular. They treat
us with consideration and friendship.
and this paper would like for them to
feel, and to know, that we bear them
the utmost goodwill personally.
Why is It, then, that the Virginian-
Pilot must occasionally fight certain
political leaders?
1t is because the Virginian-Pilot for
ever stands by its creed: GIVE THE
PEOPLE y CHANCE TO VOTE
THEIR INALIENABLE RIGHT TO
EXERCISE THEIR OWN FREE
WILL. AND CHOICE.
Every now and then, the leaders.
otherwise faithful to the party, promise
Office to certain people: and In order
to make good that promise. find it ne
cessary TO suppress and prevent a pop
ular vote.
This is all wrong. The PEOPLE are
the party; not the leaders. The leaders
should encourage guarantee and pro-
vide a fair opportunity for the people
to express their choice of candidates in
a primary. They might then so
AMONGST the people, using their in
ilucncc ana arguments and experience
and convert them to vote for their
friends. This would be recognizing that
a voter is man; that he had mind of
his own; that he has some manhood.
This would be Democracy.
This is what the nennle want; ana
this is n right which they demand.
This is our creed. This is what the
Virginan Pilot promised the people
And this is what it shall ever do-indc-
pendently and justly-its duty.
This, then. is why we quarrel with
the political leaders. 1t is not because
we like to quarrel for we don't. II is
not because we want any particular
candidate elected; for we don't.
Let us reason together, then Ac-
knowledge that you have made mis-
take in DISTINGUISHING the people Ac-
knowledge that even shrewd poll
tician would not try to dlsfranchlec the
voters.
JUST RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE;
THAT rs ALL WE ASK.
We begged the Committee to be care
full what they did; both in the Shands
matter and In our local Legislative
fight. We begged the Committee TO
recognize the people.
The Committee did not do it. Both
committees have been unmcrcifully
chastised, ana now they blame us for
having, in the first place. condemned
and criticised them.
