& In no political campaign since the
E Democrats OF Virginia been so universally
Interested and aroused as in the Demo-.
cratic State primary canvass Of this
year for United States senator, Governor,
Lleutenant-G GOVERNOR Attorney-Ge General
and Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
The long canvass has been on since
April, and, indeed the preliminary stages
began further In the past than that.
Practically for the last twelve months the
senatorial and gubernatorlalfa splrants
have been preparing for the big battle Of
the summer OF 1905. the first time tho
candidates for the offices named have
ever been nominated in primary.
The Democratic State Convention Of
1901 which nominated State officers, d.
rected and empowered the State Cen-
trail Committee to draft and promugate
plan for nomination by State primaries.
Tho plan originally provided for viva
Gyoce voting, but was amended by the
state convention of 1904 so as to make
voting by secret ballot. Besides ltors.
all elective officers were required to be
named by primaries. Up to this Tine
only congressman and Legislative candl-
dates have been chosen BY primaries,
and the results OF the experiment N these
were fairly satisfactory. sii. .gS
H This summer for tho first time prl-
mary campaign of the entire State, with
Its one hundred counties and eighteen
cities, has occurred. The expense OF such
eleotionI must be paid by the candidates
themselves, In the absence of any other
fund for the purpose or Of any teaslnle
