THE PRIMARY MIDDLE.
F. b. WHrtNG,
Acting Secretary

mere Il great deal OF gossip IN
political circles concerning the
loose way in which the local Demo-
cratic committees throughout the
State are alleged to be using the
new State primary plan, and in
some quarters it is causing no little
dissatisfaction, and adverse com
ment. 1t will be recalled that the
general primary plan promulgated
by the Norfolk convention of 1901
the details of which worked out
later by the State Committee. ex-
pressly provides that the viva voce
system shall be used in the nomi-
nation of all officers. But in the
face of this it is an open secret.
that many of the local committees
have provided the secret ballot
system for the nomination of mem
bers of the House and Senate this
fall.
1t is so up in the Shenandoah
District, and the same is true of
some of the counties in the district
where Captain Camm Patteson, of
buckingham, appears to have de-
feated Mr. Paul Petit. of Fluvanna.
Va. for Senator on Saturday. The
Richmond City Committee came
very near doing the same thing the
other night, but the advocates of
the State plan finally prevailed.
BY those who urge that the party
is committed to the viva vOce plan
by its convention regularly called,
1t is said that the opponents of the
new system are fighting for prece-
dent and will point to local pri-
maries held this fall in the United
States senatorial battle of 1905. and
say that having been promis-
cuously violated the plan is no
longer binding.
Another reason assigned is that
the secret ballot being open to
fraud, it will be charged by those
opposed to primary for United
States Senator that the method is
unfair, and should be abandoned
in favor of the old legislature eau
Gus manner of nominating.
Those who have been responsible
for writing this reform in the plat
form of the Democratic party of
the State are expressing no sur
prise that the system is being at
tackled, but they do say they did
not expect it to be fought in what
they term an unfair an indirect
manner. 1t will be recalled that it
was cOntended both at the Norfolk
convention and in the State Com
mittee before the plan was adopted
that it was proposed to put in the
viva voce provision as a safeguard
against fraud, and it was with the
view of at least minimizing corrup-
ton that il was finally put in.
The next move expected is an
endeavor on the part of the oppo-
nents of the primary system to get
the Democratic State convention
