The Republican State Committee
met in Norfolk on Wednesday and
decided to place Legislative candi-
dates in the field wherever there is
chance to win-and their crop of can
didates, therefore, will necessarily be
small as they cannot hope for success
except in a few counties dominated
by Slemp. The matter of delegates
to the next Republican Convention
also was taken up and while appoint
ments were deferred to the next meet
ing of the committee enough was dis
closed to show that delegates only of
the "lily white' shade would be
trusted with that honor and they
must be pledged to Roosevelt and be
voted by him for the candidate of his
choice, if he refuses to accept the
nomination as candidate for Presi-
dent. The colored brother, it seems
to have been understood, was too
likely to favor Foraker as presiden-
tial candidate to be trusted as a dele
gate to the convention.

"More money for public schools" is
to be the slogan of the State Teach
ers' Association this fall, and with
that end in view rallies are to be held
by public school teachers in every
section of the State. The increase in
the annual appropriation to be asked
of the next Legislature, at the sug-
gestion of the executive committee
of State Teachers Association and
the Cooperative Education Associa-
ton adopted at late meeting, is to
be 5000. 900, the amount last appro-
priated being 100000. The teachers
are to ask also for S25, 200 for summer
normals and the establishment of one
more summer school. The appro-
priations to be- asked for, it seems to
be taken for granted, will be made,
and the pledges made by most of the
public men of the State to do all in
their power to foster the public
schools of the State, warrants thai
conclusion.

State Senator Henry I. Wickham
will not represent the district IN
which he resides in the next General
Assembly of Virginia as he has done
in many sessions of that body. His
constituents did not believe that he
could serve two masters-the rail-
roads and the State-and acting on
that belief nominated another man IN
his place at a late primary. They
could not endorse him this time' be-
cause they doubted his ability to
serve them acceptably or beleVeo
less in him as a man of the highest
personal integrity and honor, but be-
cause in the present contest between
the railroads and the State they die
not believe that he could consistently
serve both, and the conclusion whicf
they reached in the matter seems tC
be in accord with the sentiment O
the people throughout the State. The
control of the Legislature OF Virginia
by railroad attorneys may indeed bt
accepted as a thing of the past Il
Senator Wickham with his grea
popularity and splendid record coul(
not be trusted longer, because too
closely identified with railroad inter
ests. AS the Free Lance says:
Senator Wickham's defeat and Sen
ator Mann's forced resignation a
attorney for the N. & W. are signifi
cant indications of the passing of TIT
railroad lawyer from the Virginia
halls of legislation and it looks as
no statute, such as was proposed dur
ing the last session, will be necessar.
to effect this end.
