The Establishment Of the Primary

The Establishment of the Primary
The primary is over and tho Demo-
Gratis Of Virginia have spoken In the most
authoritative and incontestible way. AS
it was Impossible for all the rival cnndi-
dates to be nominated, there IS necessarily
some disappointment, and perhaps IN
some cases, heavy heart burnings. But In
the face Of an open, fur and thorough
canvass, and quite full vote. all other
considerations will soon give place to tho
sense Of submission to the will OF tho
roters.
n It has been suggested by some, who
vere antagonistic to tho primary system,
4 hat tho effect OF this contest would be to
,reate discussions and animositles, IL not
pitts In tho party. TO our mind nothing
a 8 further from the truth. 10 take the
most conspicuous case of nll-that Of
IS 1cnator Martln-how different does he
aow stand in his claim to the senatorial
chair, which lie will certainly get, from
what he has ever had before?
without rehenrsing the story Of his
election in 1893 or Its perfunctory rcpeti-,
ZION In 1909, there Is now no manner Of
4 doubt that he Is the choice OF tho Demo
cratic party Of Virginia, and that he
will have not only the legal title that he
hitherto enjoyed, but every equity that
Gun be secured from the endorsement Of
hts fellow citizens If his election had
again been left to q convention or q
Legislature, no power could have pre-
vented o. great number Of people from
believing that the same influences which
had carried him In before were taking
him In again, and that he did not repre-
sent the bona fido choice Of the people.
But now all OF that Is wiped away, and
Senator Martin stands forth as tho clear,
square and incontestible choice Of the
Democrats OF Virginia, and 1t is worth
to him all that this canvass has cost,
not merely to get this endorsement, but
to demonstrate to the people that he Is
not only wise counsellor, but an eHl-
Client debater. .
There Is reason to believe that no.
thing less than tho exigences Of this
great canvass would have brought him out
as the stump speaker that he has proven
himself to be.
Mr.. Martin and his friends have every
reason to be proud and happy over the
results OF this canvass, and certainly
from them no murmur Of dissent should
ever DO heard on tho question OF primary
elections. a
The primary has been justified from
every point of view and should now be
regarded as an established institution In
Virginia,
