Danger and Remedy.

The conditions in Virginia now
arr much the same as developed
Tilmanism in South Carolina aud
Popuhsm in Alabama and North
Carolina.
We have one party in State politics
and that party is doing nothing for
the people, offering nothing in the
way of reform or improvement. 1t
is represented by number of men
of good character and amiable traits
who give their time and thought to
intrigue, usually harmless, and to
fencing with each other for control
of the party machinery and to secure
places and honors for themselves and
their fl lends.
The people tire of this kind of
thing. They want action. They
know that the conditions In Virginia
are not perfect and that we need
changes in party management and
public policy They are no longer
amused or interested by the smsll
quarrels and contentious of politicians.
They are ready to go forward and
are anxious for a lea Ter and pur-
pose They do not want to be boss
ed or manipulated or played with.
The heaviest load Mr. Swanson has
to carry is the active support of two
United States Senator's The heavi-
est burden of Mr.. Montague is his
supposed power in the choice of
school superintendent. Those facts
prove how strongly the people resent
the ideas of political rings and COM
binations.
The danger is that some man will
presently rise outside the Democratic
party with platform which promises
something definite and a general
breaking up of the old cliques and
factions and draw an invincible army
of votes to him. A call so sounded
would ring through the inert and
fatigued massed of the people and
stir them like trumpet blast.
The remedy is for the Democratic
party in Virginia to put itself in the
line of progress. to represent activity
and purpose, Timidity at home and
blatant aggressiveness abroad have
constituted the party policy so far
and the people of Virginia want no
more oft. We have sent delegates
to national conventions who have
Numbered against abuses in the
Federal government and elsewhere
and returned to whisper warnings
against disturbing anything here
where we have control in our own
LSs IS. mo sooner the Virginia
Democratic party takes itself out of
that position the better. The next
party convention, whoever it may
nominate, can adopt a platform
promising the breaking up of the
county machines and cliques of
small Office holders aud q policy of
going forward. Changes in the
constitution will not do all that is
needed.
A plan q open primaries and di
rect vote so that the vote of every
D,mDorat may cunt for the msn of
his choice for the party, better roads.
better schools; better prison eys-
tenn AID simplified judiciary would
give the psople assurance that the
party in Virginia is something more
than a machine for dividing out great
and small jobs.-RichmOnd News
