MAY CONVENE LEGISLATURE.

The CITIZEN ventured the prediction
last week that Governor Swanson would
not hesitate to convene the Legislature
in extra session if needed to check the
Pennsylvania in it's r. F. & p. move
ment. Almost before our ink was dry
the city press announced this as the
Governors purpose, and unanimously
backing him in his avowed intention.
They say that without exception the
people seem to be Understanding the
Governor in his fight for the interests
of the State.
Ii the Governor shall fail to accom-
plsh the protection of the States in
terests through the plans he now has on
foot, it is evident that public sentiment
will fully sustain the converting of the
Legislature in extra session, to take
whatever steps may seem necessary in
the matter. A number of prominent
members of the General Assembly have
been interviewed, and without single
exception they approved the Governor
course. They went further, and declar-
ed they would favor an extra session if
one should be found desirable in order
to definitely assert and protect the
rights of the State.
Of course it all depends upon what is
the final outcome of the efforts of Gov
ernor Swanson and the other State Off
Gals In the conference which is fixed
for December 10th; but if the railroad
people shall insist upon running things
their own way, there is not reason
able doubt that the Legislature will be
called in little while, to take the mat
ter up.

GROWING RAPIDLY IN DIsfAvoR.

The Herald has all along been out
spoken in its opposition to this pri-
mary idea for practical reasons and
reasons of party policy, and we are
glad to note that feeling of revulsion
against it is arising. We have always
considered it breeder of strife in the
party. 1t is, besides, liable to the
meanest tricks of the politica, precinct
and ward tools, and acts as barrier
TO the poor man who would be a candi-
date. Then it serves to put a quietus
on political aspirations. Our observa-
ton is that defeated man seldom
makes another effort in the primary.
One dose is generally enough for all
time. 1t will not take the primary
many years to destroy all party life
and spirit. Eastern Shore Herald.
If we mistake not the sentiment
among the leading Democrats of this
section is that the primary plan of
selecting candidates ought to be ADAM
doned by the party, and many with
whom we have talked point to the
apathy during the recent Congressional
election as evidence of the fact that
the primary plan does not create the
enthusiasm and party spirit which was
always evident after convention. We
have on several occasions heretofore
insisted that while the primary plan
appeared right in principal, it does not
work out in theory, and that for party
success the convention or some such
plan is the better method of selecting
candidates, The convention brings to-
gether the leaders of the party from all
over the State or district, as the case
may be. Whatever differences exist
as to men or measures are almost in
variably settled in fair and amicable
way. A love feast follows and the de-
legates depart to their various sections
enthused with party spirit, which is
promptly impaired to rank and file.
with the result that good vote can be
counted on election day. Fredericks-
burg Free Lance.
The Times has ver been an advocate
of the primary: never been can
able Of appreciating just how under all
the conditions that are acknowledged to
exist in politics-no worse in Virginia,
albeit, than elsewhere-it is possible
for the admirable theories upon which
friends of the plan predicate their
arguments to meterialize in practice,
and, hence, our preferences for the
time-honored methods of the party
were never shaken, even before the
experiment was actually tried in Vir-
ginia. Since seeing the thing as it is,
our position seems fortified. The
primary is undoubtedly born of excel
lent motive and advocated of a noble
purpose; but while these are most val
liable as antecedents and companions,
respectively, they are not according to
human experience, the sum of political
wisdom or expediency. The balance
wheel of party policy has a part in de-
termining this question, and we think
the application of these considerations
by the light of our own experience will
demonstrate the propriety Of a return
to the good old way. Northampton
