IT HAS FAILED.

When the Virginia Democrats began
to agitate the holding of convention
for making a new constitution they
declared it was necessary for the fol
lowing reasons:
l. To reduce the expenses of the
State government.
2. To purify the electorate and secure
honest elections
8. To get rid of political machine
or ofice-holder's trust that was con-
trolling everything in its own interest.
Hon. Carter Glass wrote the resolu-
ton at the Democratic State Conven-
ton held at Norfolk in 1900 which COM
mitted the party to voting for a con-
stitutional convention and to submit
ting the new Constitution to the people.
He was also almost the controlling
spirit of the constitutional convention,
especially on the suffrage. At these
times he was and is still publisher and
editor of the Lynchburg News. Any
editorial utterances of his paper is,
therefore, sound Democratic authority;
and we will quote from him in support
of our assertions as to the declared
reasons for making new constitution.
The Lynchburg News on the 25th OF
March, 1900, replying to objections
raised by the Brunswick Gazette against
holding convention, said:
"To us it is exasperating to hear peo-
pie, who are constantly complaining OF
our deplorable condition, set up a wall
of impotency every time the only pos
sible remedy is proposed. They admit
that we need new constitution. They
cannot deny that our judicial expenses
alone equal the expenses of North Car
DINA and Georgia combined. They con-
fess that we have twice as many pub
lie officials as are needed, and they bit
terly complain of the desperate and
dishonest political methods. This is
our present State; these are the insult
ferable conditions which we must face.
And, yet, when it is proposed that the
people of Virginia, who used to be in
domitable shall take matters in hand,
dethrone the political brigands and
rescue the Commonwealth from the
grip of official despotism, those who
complain must forthwith set up a
whine and insist that it can't be done. "
Again, on the oath of April, 1900,
the News said:
Until the ignorant and venal vote
can be eliminated it will be impossible
to restore purity to our elections,
1t was upon such pleas as these that
the calling and holding Of a constitu-
tional convention was made. The con-
vention was held, new constitution
was made and proclaimed, and we

Department Baseball Fans.

Washington boasts of a Depart
mental Baseball league" composed of
teams representing the various de-
partments. Several cabinet officials
make a point of attending the games,
which are played almost every after
noon on the big circle in the rear of
the white house. Secretary Metcalf
is the most enthusiastic rooter Of the
lot. though Secretary Moody is a close
second. One of the most faithful at
tendants, at the professional games Of
ball in Washington, is the Chinese
minister. Sir Chentung was famous
pitcher while a student at Amherst.
He could have made big money as a
professional had he cared to take up
baseball instead of diplomacy.

and the deaf to hear. Made reckless
by their former successful receptions
the leaders did not hesitate to boldly
violate the most sacred pledges of their
party and usurp authority that belong
ed exclusively to the people. They so
shaped the suffrage laws as to deprive
more than one-third of the white voters
of the State of the elective franchise.
When the presidential election came
off last year there was vast host OF
disfranchised white men who did not go
to the polls, because it was useless for
them to go. This served to reduce the
Democratic vote, but did not sufficient
ly account for the small vote polled for
the presidential and congressional can
didates of that party. 1t was asserted
by men prominent in the party that
more than sixty thousand persons who
had formerly voted the Democratic
ticket and were duly qualified by pre-
payment of their polltaxes had declined
to vote in the presidential election.
They tried to account for the large stay
at-home vote by claiming that Judge
Parker was an unpopular candidate.
What about the ten candidates they
had for Congress in the ten districts OF
the State? Why didn't they attract to
the polls the men who stayed at home?
The unsoundness of the explanation
given by the Democrats for the large
stay-at-home vote. last year has been
clearly demonstrated by the results OF
the recent primary. With the hottest
and closest canvass of the State ever
made by any party, considerable num-
Der of the most popular leaders OF the
party as candidates for various offices
were unable to persuade or drag to the
polls at the recent primary more votes
than were polled for Judge Parker in
1904. Prior to the primary the party
press claimed that the Democrats had
very largely increased their possible
available vote by a more careful pay
ment of poll taxes and by registration
of new votes. 1t was confidently pre-
dicted that more than one hundred
thousand votes would be cast at the
primary. The unpopularity cry will
not serve our Democratic friends this
time, or they will be afraid to use it.
Evidently there is much dissatisfaction
with the, Virginia Democracy amongst
the white voters of the State. This being
so evident, upon what theory do the Dem
ocratic news papers confidently fore
cast a sweeping victory for their party
in November? Perhaps they are baslng
their conclusions upon the claims that
J. Taylor Ellyson, as State chairman,
has been making. He very serenely
predicts victory for his party. His
opinions heretofore have inspired the
party press and leaders with hope.
They know or ought to know that under
the old election laws he could count
victory that he had not won. Maybe
they think he can do similar thing
again. He has the machine in his
hands, the same machine that has here
tofore stuffed ballot boxes and mani
pulated returns at his bidding.
Will the honest Democrats, many OF
whom are now Disguised with machine
methods, allow this to be done?

bill, who represented the several
towns, and there is no doubt but
what the bill will be passed. The two
townships include the vicinities of
Minocqua and Woodruff,
We are sorry to see Minnocqua
go away from US in Oneida County
but the two towns paid very little
proportion of the county tax. The

will never get the county seat of any
county now.
