We must elect Mr. Simmons because
he came to the rescue of the party at a
critical time, and saved it, say his sup
porters. What are the facts? When
the party came to elect a chairman in
1858, it is not true that no Democrat ex-
capt Mr.. Simmons would accept the po-
sltlon The truth is Mr.. Simmons was
elected by a majority of only one in the
state committee when his present and
former partners were urging his selec-
ton. Nobody is disposed to underrate
the value of Mr.. Simmons services as
state chairman, but it is a reflection uDor
scores of able Democrats who have never
refused to respond to the party's call
And more; we are told that Mr. Simmons
should be elected because he won in 1892
whereas Mr.. Pou and Mr. Manly lost in
1894 and in 1886. The inference is that
Mr.. Pou and Mr.. Manly were incapable

knows that the conditions were such that

SELECTING A UNITED STATES SENATOR
Shall the Executive Committee or the People
Elect Senator?

To the Editor:-If it is the duty of the
party to elect a successful chairman to
the United States Senate, then the party
did a great wrong when it elected Vance
to the Senate instead of General w. r.
Cox, who in 1875 conducted the most diff
cult campaign for constitutional con-
yention ever waged by the Democratic
party. Was it a reputation OF the Dem
ocratic organization in 1876 when General
Cox was defeated for Lietenant Governor,
after his successful campaign, by Thomas
j. Jarvis? Were the friends of Jarvis
"soreheads,' and the enemies of De-
mocracy?" In 1884 was it reputation
of the Democratic organization when
the gallant Octavius Coke, who had spent
his money as State chairman in 1885,, was
defeated for the nomination for Governor
by Alfred Moore Scales? If the doctrine
now invoked had prevailed then, Gov.
ernor Scales and his associates would
have been written down as "soreheadS,
and enemies Of the Democratic party. If
the Democratic chairman must be made
Senator, then Mr.. Ed. Chambers Smith
should have been elected to succeed
Vance in 1890, for his conduct of that
campaign was the most successful in the
history of the party. Instead OF sending
Mr.. Smith to the Senate, he was denied
a nomination for Attorney General in
1892. The State has never elected a
State chairman to the Senate in it's his
tory. 1t has given positions of trust and
responsibility to State chairmen before,
but not until this year has it been con
tended that when a man was chosen
State chairman, and conducted success
full campaign, he was then and there
elected as United States Senator. If
this rule is to be established, then our
Senator's will hereafter be chosen by the
State Executive Committee and the peo-
pie will have no voice in the selection
of Seantor. Two years hence a sue
cessor to Mr.. Pritchard is to be chosen.
Arc the people of the State to have no
voice in the selection of PNtchard's sue
cessor, or are we to have the successor
