The Eastern Shore has been ignored

nearly half . century. In all that time
this section has stood with solid
Democrat 'front.'. and has never failed
to do duty at the polls for men from
all sections of the State as they were
placed on the party ticket. The time
Is now on when the loyal Democrats OF

ter who the head Of the ticket happens
TO be, when il comes to choosing the
next Lieut. Governor, thst honor Will
fall TO Eastern Shore and 20 Senator
Geo W. LeOato This Is nothing more
than honest dealing and good party
policy, and the head Of the ticket Will
be the stronger for the pursuance OF the
same -Acoomsc News.
Very good reasoning, and The
FREE LANCE hopes it may pan
out as our contemporary predicts.
After all, though, We maintain that
it is far from being q certainty. The
Eastern Shore deserves something at
the hands Of the State government
and the First District much more.
By honoring that fine gentleman and
able lsw maker, DR.. LsCato, both
will be honored. His candidacy should
receive the unqualified support OF the
First District. How best to achieve
this is an open question. The FREE
LANCE is unable to see that his in
terests will be advanced by the can
didacy Of either Mr.. Montague or
Col. Marshall. His friends claim
support for the former because he
was born in Middlesex county and is
therefore First District man, while
Col. Msrshsll's candidacy also blocks
the aspirations of another place on
the ticket of Tidewater man. II
this District be pledged to Mr.. Mon
tsgue-ss the leaders are believed to
have done-snd it is confirmed in
convention. 1.-THE chances OF Senator
LeCato will have been sacrificed for
Mr. Montague. These points seem
indisputable TO us. 1t the District is
to have recognition it should go as a
unit for the man Of its choice for
whatever position he is aspiring to,
and We hope to see this done in the
case Of DR.. LeCato.

A VITAL POINT.

Here is q question on which we would
like to hear from the candidates for
Governor OF this State-an immediate
question:
Do you think the Constitutional con.
vention should be limited to one hun.
dred members, or should we have at
least hundred and forty 90 Is TO give
each county In the State at least one rep
resentativef
Now. speak out, gentlemen. We need
guidance on this very question. II you

for Virginia produces men who Illus
trate now, as Vtrginians have illus
trated before them on all seas and In
ali lands, shat they are not afraid and
ara ready 30 say what they think and
take the consequences. whatever they
may be.--Richm0nd News.
The News is pretty level-hesded
about demanding expressions from
the candidates, as it is also about
giving each county in the State o
voice in the Constitutional conver-
tion, bat We think 1t lays too much
stress upon the above point by de-
manding an expression on it from the
candidates. As to the.personnel, the
representation and date Of holding
the convention the people at large
and the Legislature will have TO de-
eide, and mere opinion as to adj
visibility - and not convictions -
should not be demanded Of the candi-
dates, nearly all of whom are ir high
official positions. Their opinions
should not be given for the purpose
Of advising the Legislature, unless
they voluntarily Offer them. The
issuss before the convention will be
Of more vital Importance, and upon
them, at the proper time, the people
have right to demand expression
from these gentlemen.
