DEMOCRATS MUST WORK

The aggressive attitude Ot the dele

at Roanoke. thcconidencc expressed
bv many of the speakers there. and
the enthusiasm impaired TO the
party through the state 10y those
who attended the meeting. sound a
note of warning to the Democrats
throughout the SCate. So far as the
Legislature is concerned. there seems
no possibility of the Republicans get
ting IA majority in that body, and.
therefore. the election Of a United
States Senator seems assured; So.
too. is it certain from allappearances
that the minor State offices will be
filed by Democrats, and il Is reason
ably certain that the Democrats can
elect any of the three aspirants for
gubernatorial hOnors who chances TO
secure the nomination; but the party
ought. for its future welfare, 10 nom
mate for the governorship the candi-
date who can poll the largest vote in
the general election.
The only way to assure this Is Tor
every Democrat to turn out on the
22nd and vote for his preference. Ii
this is done We feel assured that Judge
Mann wilnot receive determination.
and we believe that JOS. f. Willard.
whom we believe will be the strongest
nominee. will be nominated.
The only chance OF Judge Mann ;
nomination lies in the probability
that many Democrats. not caring To
be forced to vote for him in the gen
eral election by the fact that they
participated in the primary, may re-
main at home This action will defeat
the end and aim they have in view.
and to these We would say: Come out
and vote, and in our Judgment there
will be no chance To vote for the
Judge this fall.
