DECLINE PASSES
Democratic Congressman
In Caucus Decide TO
Ask No FaVOrS.

In the democratic caucus held at
Washington on the evening OF Novem-
Der 7, Representative Robert Baker of
New York init oduced the following res
olution: "Whereas, it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that the trusts owe their
existence in large part to the fact of
their having been the benefciaries Of
outrageous and illegal freight rate dis.
ordinations, and it is also evident that
the republican party is controlled and
directed by the railroad and trust mag.
mates; and, Whereas, 1t is both right
and expedient for the democratic party
to boldly attack these monopolies, max
ing it clear that no permanent relief
from these oppressive conditions can be
had until the illicit and criminal relations
between the trusts and the railroads is
terminated; and, Whereas, The time
has come to present to the people con-
vincing evidence that no one charged
with the formulation or putting into eff
feet of democratic principles is in any
way party to or countenances these
violations of law and morals; therefore,
be it, Resolved, That regardless of the
practice of the republicans, it is the
sense of this caucus that it's members
do not accept passes or other favors
from the railroads."

THE NEW LEADER
A PEN PICTURE OF JUDGE WILL
LiAMS IN GOLFERS WEEKLY.
A Brilliant Congressman And An Able Leader.
Has Good Grip On His Temper. Moth.
Ing RuffIes Him. will Work For Stronger
Men On Committees.

John Sharp Williams, the new demo-
cratic leader in the house of representa-
tives, has one distinction above his col.
leagues. He is the only member in con.
gress who was schoolmate of the Ger
man Emperor. They were together at
Heidelberg. Williams is willing to for
get it, but his friends are not, and he is
pointed out from the galleries with as
much enthusiasm as if he were Poultney
Bigelow.
Williams is from Mississippi, lawyer
and cotton planter, and has been in
congress for ten years. He is highly ed.
ucated, speaks several languages, is
somewhat of wit, good deal of story
teller. and can make humorous speech
if the occasion demands. These attri-
butes make him popular with his fel.
lows, and added to them are a wide
knowledge of legislative methods, keen
mind, and instant readiness in debate.
He will be good leader, for he keeps
his temper. No assault can ruffle Will
liams. He is calm and smiling through
the bitterest passages with the republi.
cans. The leader who sputters and
fumes is lost, for he can not get his own
people to follow him. to say nothing Of
making an impression on the other
side.
Williams is regular democrat. He
has folio owed the party through every
devious path. He was for Cleveland,
and he was for Bryan. Now he is preach
ing the doctrine of get-to-gether. His
principal work in this congress will be
to secure stronger democrats on the big
committees OF the house. He argues,
and justly, that the democrats have
been handicapped since the republicans
have had control of congress by lack OF
application by the minority members
of the committees. Williams believes
in work. He wants men on committees
who will be able to discuss measures
when they come on the floor; and points
out Il late years the democrats in the
house have not been as faithful in com.
mittees as they should have been. He
thinks the times are propitious for de.
mocracy.
Williams most famous speech was in
defence OF Admiral Schley in the Fifty
seventh congress. He wrote set o.
verses beginning: "Oh, who is Crown
inshield, papa" and read them in the
course of his speech The verses had fol-
their refrain the statement that Rear
Admiral Crowninshield, who was Chic
lof the Bureau of Navigation of the navy
department during the war with Spain
and one OF the most active in the anti
Schley propaganda, was "the creates
tar that ever stayed ashore" The
house roared with laughter. -Collier'l

stanton, Va. Nov. 2. 1908.
Editor Of The Times-Dispatch:
Dear sir.-1n reply to yours Of recent
date, will say that am in favor Of the
primary plan--with the ballot.
The viva voce feature is, believe. un-
wise as party measure and unpopu-
lar.
AS far as I am able to Judge by a gem
eral expression OF opinion, the people
OF Staunton and Augusta county are
very largely in favor Of primary for
the selection OF city and county non1i-
nees. But in State and district politics
there Is demand for the convention
method Of selection, as 1t is contended
that none but candidates Of means can
meet the legitimate expenses Of a gem
cral primary.
Popular sentiment In this community
is opposed to the viva voce feature Of
the primary. and the publicity OF It has,
to my knowledge, caused many party
men to decline to vote. Among the old
er voting population there is a sentiment
4 in favor of the viva voce plan, as that
feature revives the accepted method OF
| voting in nte-belum days: but this Class
| IL OF necessity a small minority OF the
party strength.

Sir,--1 have delayed answer to yours OF
recent date because yesterday was our
County Court day, and I thought might
have opportunity to see leading men
from all parts Of the county and gain
GONE definite idea as to primary" For
myself, / am SO welded to old methods
am opposed to rings anything like
coercion in politics: an "all-day primary
is expensive. With us 1t has been pre-
5ceded by an active canvass. A Clique
controls majorlty Of the precincts. and
thus nominates the candidates. With us
the primary has been the cause Of
much trouble. and the election of House
Delegates has represented the clique. and
not the people.
This is the general sentiment OF all our
people. Could the people haze fair OPP
portunity 10 express their wish In each
precinct, without price or canvass, a
primary would be the thing AS they have
been conducted here, sentiment is very
equally divided

Editorial from Bedford Bulletin, Sep
temper "a, 1903:
Tho primary plan has been used In
Bedford county since 1895. It was de-
manded by the people, and it has proven
most satisfactory. There has never been
single instance that we can recall where
the result of a primary was not cheers
fully acqulesced in and all factions gath r.
cd to support the nominees. In the old
, convention system there has been such
dissatisfaction that independents have
been encouraged to come out. In a con-
vention, however representative It may
be. few leaders will control. while in a
primary the vote III one section can OH
set another, and true majority rule.
Each man has the same vote in primary
as another, and ifshe doesn't exel else his
privilege 1T is his own fault. The people
do not Ike the viva voce system. but
even then the vote. in Saturdays primary
was nearly as large as usual Take this
feature away, and no more satisfactory
method could be devised.

Editor OF The Tlmes-D.spatch:
Sir.--I reply to your CIRCULAR letter ot
October 2Sth. with great Willingness,
am very much In favor OF the primary
plan Of choosing cand dates. i there =
any reason why that plan Is i!log cal. y
will apply equally well to our general
system of elections. The nearer we get
to the body Of the people the greater me
safety Of our polit cal institutions; ana
certainly the farther away we eet IRON
them the greater the danger. That Is
my principal reason for favorng tho
primary, as against our former method OF
conventions, in which handful OF In
terested polit clans do the whole work
OF selecting the men who are to represent
the people at large.
I do not favor the viva voce form OF vo-
ting. and my reasons for not doing SO are
that in such method OF expressing; one 9
choice a man is not left, entirely Tres ~
the selection Of candidates, as the pub
l!c!ty of the vote will cause the voter to
be more or less polite, being influenced
by various causes which woulu not Apply
