This conduct has been for us and

But it has possibly. the explanation
for which we are seeking in thu words
of one of the most characteristic Of
the redemptionists. who, speaking of
The strike, expressed himself as fo-
llows: The probl+ m does not exist.
1t all hinges on the fact that the sup
ply of laborers is greater than the
demand. The workmen themselves
see necessities to alternate in the labor,
snd the daily wages under such cir
cunstances are always insufficient.
If the acting governor and all the
rest of the congregation of the re-
dempt :onists accept this IS hecrite-

situation. already insufferable. is not
in the least surprising.
What, is it not conflict when there
is an excess of laborers, when there is
scarcely any demand fer them7
1t Iaay be that the functionaries
fad this stupendous conclusion in
what is occurring with the cpffee crisis.
But the two things are not the same.

Fer six years have the workers in

forced idleness; for. six years have they

CAN his BE TRUE 2

The Journal of the late Constitutional
Convention shows that on the 5th day
of June, 1902, Hon. Carter Glass offer
ed resolution which was adopted by
the convention and provided as follows
Resolved that the Committee on
Reporting and Printing be, and hereby
is, authorized to contract for editing
and publishing, in condensed, perna-
nent book form, the debates of the
Constitutional Convention, etc"
The Journal also shows that on the
25th day of June, 1902, Mr.. Hunton Of
fered the following resolution which
was agreed to:
Resolved, That the members of the
Committee on Printing and Reporting
are hereby appointed revisers of the
proceedings of the Convention and are
empowered to hereafter take such steps
as may be necessary to carry out such
revision as was authorized by the reso-
luton of the Convention, adopted on
Thursday, June 9Th, and to make such
contracts as are therein authorized.
"2. That the Treasurer of the State
is hereby instructed and required to pay
such warrants as may be drawn upon
him for the payment of the work so au-
thorized."
We are informed that under the above
resolutions Mr.. ]. H. Lindsay, of Char
lottesville, was chosen to do the work
of editing the debates of the Conven-
ton, and that his salary for the work
was fixed at SIPS per month. We are
also informed that the editing has not
vet been completed and that draft is
drawn upon the Treasurer each month
for SIPS, signed by Carter Glass, who,
we suppose, as a member of or chair
man of the Committee on Accounts and
Expenditures, feels authorized to make
these drafts on the treasury.
These drafts have been presented
each month for little more than two
years. If we have not been misin-
formed about these matters we would
like to know what the people think
about them?

Man SAYS He'll Bolt.

Richmond, Va, Aug. %, 1905.
Editor The News Leader:
1t has just developed that Martin and
Swanson had pledged to their support
in RICHMOND more than 60 per cent.
of the city's employees, the street
cleaners, 100 in number, and all approx
mating 1000 votes. How they managed
to get these people is tale that ought
to be unfolded for the edifcation of our
citizens. Many of us understand; we
know what ring rule and bossism signify
and we are fully acquainted with coer-
cion and manipulation. But is it fair,
Mr.. Editor? Has not the time now
come for free thinking, independent
and honest men to band together for
the preservation of Virginia's honor
and her ideals? Answering this for
myself, l say that 1 shall vote for Judge
L. L. Lewis for governor and shall sup
port the whole Republican ticket, be-
lieving that it is an honest one and one
which is of the people of the
State. AS to the primary pledge-it is
nothing less than a dishonest attempt
to coerce voters to stand by manipula-
ton and fraud and bossism. 1t is not
right in any sense or view; it is an in
fringement of the rights of citizen, and
l shall absolutely disregard it, as know
of scores of others who will do likewise.
And then, too, fraud vitiates all agree
ments. understand this is a funda-
mental principle of law. Even now we
hear of fraud in almost every section Of
the State and who is acquainted with
recent RICHMOND primary events but
knows that fraud was perpetrated?
Aside from this, the very fact that
Swanson's friends and Martins allies,
powerful ring as they form, secured all
the employees of the city government to
vote for these candidates is enough to
drive me from the party. Such dcings
do not constitute square deal in any
way, and for one am done with the
party that allows it.
l suppose your paper and others will
howl now that every one ought to stand
by their vote in the primary, and that
we ought not to leave the party. l
hope this will have no effect on those
who intend to vote for Lewis; certainly
it will have none on me-. l know that
in the bottom of your heart, Mr.. Editor,
you think that the best thing for Vir-
ginia is the election Of Judge Lewis to
the governorship, and l know that if
the Times-Dispatch spoke its free, I'M
trammelled opinion, it would commend
Lewis rather than Swanson. The issue
will be, think, the character and per-
sonality of the two men. BY this Lam
content to let the matter be, realizing
that if Virginians will vote according to
the dictates of their conscience, Judge
Lewis will be our next governor.
Mr.. Editor, / am terribly in earnest
in this matter and | hope you will pub
fish this card.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-08-31

will be safe in the hands of Judge
Lewis and the other gentlemen who are
on the ticket with him. The platform
adopted and promulgated at Roanoke is
conservative, though bold, and states
nothing regarding the affairs of the Com
monwealth that is not true and is not
advocated by every honest Democrat
who stands for reform.
The Virginia Republicans with their
able, honest candidates and conserva-
tive platform present an opportunity to
all good citizens that they have not had
in years. Democrats who are dissatis-
fled with the leadership of their party
and its management of our affairs can
best serve their State by voting the
Republican ticket this Fall. The Re-
publican platform declares for non-par-
tisan election laws, for non-partisan
judiciary, for non-partisan management
of the schools, for an honest admins
tration of the State government, and
for general reform. If the Republican
party gets control of the State the
pledges made in the Roanoke platform
will be redeemed. Honest Democrats,
will you help US to do what your party
has failed to do, and what you say you
want to see done?

Big Montague Banner Stolen In the
Nlqht.

Lower Cary street is agog today over
the mysterious larceny of the hand
some, big Montague banner, which for
weeks was suspended in that thorough
fare, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets.
In the still watches of last night pred
atory hands were laid upon the banner
and when Cary street discovered the
robbery this morning friends Of the de-
feated candidate excited some feeling
by denouncing the purloining as the
work of Martin men.
The stolen banner was one of the
handsomest political emblems exhibited
during the campaign as well as one of
the most expensive. The identity of
the person or persons who captured the
trophy is unknown and the whereabouts
of the banner enveloped in mystery. =
Richmond News Leader, oath inst.
See how fixed the habit has become.
Not satisfied with robbing Montague of
the nomination, the Martin men have
actually stolen the handsOmest political
banner that was raised during the cam
paign.

]. Taylor Ellyson seems to be the
idol of the Virginia Democracy. Why?
Perhaps, if the honest Democrats
would make themselves familiar with
the methods of the machine they would
find out the cause of Ellyson's populari-
ty. If that cause could be made known
the Democrats who believe in honest
methods would not vote for Mr.. Ellyson
in November. He was discredited at
the recent primary in his home city,
Richmond. He was beaten in that city
by his opponent, Mr.. Cabell. Why?
The Democrats in Richmond know Ely
son, and majority would not vote for
him. If he had been as we'll known
elsewhere as he is at Richmond he
would not have been nominated for
Lieutenant Governor.

FAILURE OF. THE PRIMARY
(Communicated)

A
While the Democratic press of the
State is seemingly accepting the recent
primary as more or less successful and
smacking their lips over the repast as
relishing as the traditional crow, there
is evidently an undercurrent of dissatis-
faction among the rank and file Of the
people which was manifested most
emphatically by staying away. After
the herculean efforts to get their votes
polled, after hot campaign in every
section of the State for weeks, after
the boast that there would be fully 1885,
600 votes cast, the result was about
CT, 5OO-13, 900 votes less than the vote
cast for Parker last year. In other
words, about one-half voted, and one
half stayed at home. Why this falling
off from last years vote, and why this
great shrinkage in the vote expected?
Why did from $4,000 to 10000 Demo-
Gratis stay at home? First, because of
the pledge exacted in the cities that
all voters participating in the primary
election be considered as binding them
selves to vote for the nominee or nomi-
nees in the coming general election.
Over so, 600 Democrats were not willing
so to bind themselves, and the result is
that the true sentiment of the voters is
not made manifest, and the primary to
that extent is failure.
Again the great expense attendant
upon primary makes it impossible fer
any one except man of wealth to as
pire to the chief positions in the gift of
the people of the State. We have hon
orable, able, experienced men of affairs
who cannot spend $4,000, $4,000, or
SIS, 900 to become their party's candi-
date for office. This in itself is enough
to condemn the system. Again it has
made very clear that only the candidate
with the machine, or party organiza-
ton, back of him can be successful.
From every point of view then the
primary as recently conducted is a fall
ure. The Independent freemen will
have none of it. The true sentiment OF
the people is not recorded and the ma
chine will run it to suit themselves.
No wonder so many good Democrats
are Disguised and point in contrast to
the late splendid Republican convention,
its sterling ticket and its ringing plat
form of principles.
The primary has left the Democratic
party without a platform, without
principles, result perhaps not without
it's advantages from certain or rather
doubtful standpoint.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-08-31

A Democrat in Richmond has writer
the News Leader that he will bolt the
recent Democratic primary and vote
for Judge Lewis and the other Republi-
can candidates. There are many Dem
ocrats in Richmond who declare their
purpose to do the same thing. The
News Leader says: Fraud vitiates a
contract in law, but in morals it need
not abrogate a solemn pledge" That
is the kind of ethics that has made the
Democratic press uphold all the political
crimes of their party in Virginia, and
that has made them sounding brass anc
tinkling cymbal when they try to up
hold the purity of the ballot.
