The State Committee.

The members Of the State Central Com
mittee OF the Democratic party of Vir-
glnia will meet here to-day to fix tho
date Of the Forthcoming State primary
elections, to make arrangements for hold
Ing the same, and to transact other
\ business OF party interest
The committee will have to make an
assessment upon candidates to raise
funds for paying the expenses of the
7 election, but it goes without Saying that
the assessment will be made as light as
possible. 1t is Of prime Importance that
say that the polls shall be opened at
every precinct-and the committee must
not let any precincts default for lack of
= funds to pay the cost But we do not
think that the cost will be great. We
believe that volunteers can be found mt
practically every voting place to serve
as judges and clerks without remunera-
ton. 1t is work for Democracy, and

report for duty when the party calls.

date has the right under the general
plan to have friend within the room,
where the election is being conducted and
( 1t is further required that the poll books
and voting shall be in open view. The
primary plan has operated well in other
Southern States without making tho cost

there is no sufficient reason why the

We have faith that the State Committee
will solve all the problems satisfactorily
but we again urge upon the committee
the Importance of taking every possible
precaution. SO farIas 1t may, against the
possibility of fraud and trlckcry, for the
primary Is now on trial, and If there is
any well grounded suspicion of foul play,
the party will suffer for it. and will
invite defeat in the general election to
follow.
In saying this, Of course. wo do not
mean to reflect upon tho honesty OF tho
party at large, nor upon the leaders.
But there are tricksters in all parties,
and they must not be permitted to ply
their trade in the State primaries. The
election machinery must not be allowed
to fall into their hands.

The Virginia Bankers.

The prejudice which formerly existed
in certain quarters against banks is rap
idly disappearing. for all sensible men
now recognize them as important and
necessary factors In progress and de-
velopmcnt. The modern banker Is not
the hard-hearted, close-fisted money lend
or aforetimc painted, but public spirited
citizen. who, while keeping an honest
watch over the trust funds committed to
his care. is none the less accommodating
and anxious to use the banks resources
in such way as to promote legitimate
enterprise. wherever this can be done
with Justice to the Interests OF the bank
1t is difficult position for any man to
occupy, for the bank president must keep
jealous guard over both the purse strings
and heart strings. He must not be moved

First Trial Of State Primary.

Tomorrow the State Democratic ES-
ccutive Committee will meet in Rich
mond for the purpose Of making
arrangements for the State primary at
which to nominate candidates for Gov
crnor and other State officers and the
United States Senate.
This will be the first trial Of the State
primary principle In Virginia. There is
a disposition in many quarters to criti-.
ciso the principle. though we believe the
majority Of the voters to be In Its favor;
and 1t is certainly true that failure to
conduct the primary properly would pre-
cipitate fierce clash between pro-pri-
mary and anti-primary sentiment and
would work to the serious Injury OF
the Democratic party. Along this line
the Richmond Times-Dlspatch has the
Z following apt words Of advice and warn
Ing:
"Thc primary will be on trial this

Times, which has had several previous
references to the matter says:

be held upon other plane than high
and honorable one-scrupulously fair in

is true, however, It Is just as we'll that

should be strictly observed. Among these
is the very effective one to which We
have before called attention, whereby
each candidate is given the right to have

casting of the vote and at the time the

1t is hardly necessary for The Land

appreciation Of the views expressed by
