The Gubernatorial contest con-
tinues to grow in interest and the In
dications are, that despite the boast
of the adherents of Mr.. Swanson,
that "his campaign is in the hands
of able politicians and is being adj
mirably managed" that the people
are daily becoming more dissatisfied
with their machine methods and pro-
pose to be heard as to their choice
for Governor. For instance, OF late
large clubs, with a membership oil
600 or more, have been organized in
Richmond and Roanoke to beat the
machine; Prince William, Goochland,
Dickinson, Charles City, Powhatan
and other counties have been heard
from with no uncertain sound as to
their opposition to the machine, by
instructing their delegates for Mr.,
Montague and Lyncbburg, which the
Swansonites confidently expected to
control, has practically declared for
him. The liable politicians" who are
so admirably managing" the affairs
of Mr.. Swanson failed even to carry
Alexandria county, Despite the un-
fair methods resorted to by them, as
told by the Public Ledger in the fol-
lowing:
"a few days ago the statement APP
peared in one of our exchanges that
the County Committee had been
asked by the friends of Mr.. Monta-
que to hold primary election, but
that the request had been refused
and precinct meetings decided upon,
the places selected for two of the
meetings being fixed at points that
were not convenient to many of the
residents of such districts. The meet
ings were held in the county Mon
day, as we learn from the morning
papers, and three of the districts
were carried by Mr.. Montague and
one was carried by Mr.. Swanson.
The party organization adopted the
plan that was thought to be most
favorable to the candidacy of Mr.
Swanson, but the voters turned out
in force. and by so doing upset the
plans of those who were using the
party machinery in the interest of a
particular candidate"
That the example set by the people
of Alexandria County, in rebuking
those in charge of the party machin-
cry, who would disregard their wishes,
will be followed by enough voters in
other counties of the State, to show
that they are supreme, is we believe
beyond question. Mr.. Montague may
not win, but if he does not some one
else will who is not running with the
machine.

A few weeks ago the newspapers re-
ported the organization Of a Union OF
farm laborers IN southern IND ma. the
first union Of that kind In the state.
The immediate erect OF the organiza-
tion was to increase the wages Of
farm labor 100 per cent as 1t was
the harvest season. when crops had
to be gathered at any cost lt was
doubtless a great hardship TO many
farmers. for in most cases We believe
they are paying for labor all that the
returns from their farms will justify.
We boast Of the democracy Of
America. but nowhere win Il be found
IN its purity except on the farms Of

employed meet as man to man and

. COUNTRY GIRLS IN THE CITY:


Every autumn hundreds OF country
girls leave their homes and 90 to the
city to try their fortunes, says a writer
Of experience. Those with college ed
rcations, fitted for teaching or trained
for some special line Of work may fall
into pleasant ways, but the unhappy
majority serving in shops and fac
tories, standing behind counters eight
hours Of the twenty-four, do not have
an enjoyable life by any means. Sup
pose they had remained at home in the
quiet village, whore they thought there
was nothing to do and had taken up
dressmaking as a trade, worked the
garden, raised flowers OF studied bee
culture and had gone in the society OF
the town where each one stands on
his own merits and the lines OF caste
are not so closely drawn as in a city;
would they not have been better on
after all?
The country may lack the feyerish
glare and excitement Of the city, but
its pleasures are more wholesome ana
Of a more enduring kind. The coun-
try girl earning her way in village
has more liberty than the saleswoman
Of the city store earning $40 a week
The country girl gets her holiday
whenever she wants it. She is not OBJ
liged to pay 50 a week for carfare and
luncheons or spend all her hours In
noisy streets, where the din Of passing
traffic makes II necessary to shout In
order that she may be heard. She does
not live in a cheap clearinghouse,
but sits at a generous table spread
with a bountiful country fare, and
when she passes down the street
friends greet her on every side. Yes,
the country-bred girl gets a bad bar
gain when she leaves home for the
city.
