THE Lynchburg News and the Peters

or not Democratic newspaper should
0lmmit itself in advance absolutely t.
tie support Of the platform and nomi.
nee of forthcoming party conyen-
ton.
For itself, our Petersburg contem-
posary reserves the right to exercise
the courage of It's convictions. after c
cain and deliberate examination Of the
Democratic platform of 1905. in decid-
Ing whether 1. will support the duly
chosen and anointed,' etc. OF the next
National Democratic Convention
In view of that statement the News
asks IL the Index-Appeal can logically
do otherwise than advise the Demo-
cratic voters of Virginia TO refrain
from taking part in the selection of
delegates 10 the next State oonven-
tion?' Surely no.." says the News. in
reply to its own question, FOR here is
=y-:,aI our contemporary avouched
Jew days ego:
- Independence and a primary NOM
mating election are as incompati-
biz as FIRE and water. When voter
participates in primary he submits
himself 10 the resul, of that primary,
and as completely surrenders his right
10 refrain from supporting those nomi-
nees as the man who niarries a wife
surrende-s his right to marry another
woman while she remains his legal
wife. In both cases the honor of
The man is pledged. and he cannot
so contrary to that pledge without
sacriacins his honor"
; AS for the News. our contemporary
fsays that it has no hesitancy. in COM
i uniting itself unreservedy to. the ac-
s ton of the next National Democratic
+ Convention. for the. reason that 1T "has
I sufficient faith in the Democrats of
the nation to believe that they will
& adopt a platform whose general pur-
port Will contain the essence of true
IL Precisely; and that is the crux OF the
whole matter. The pledge of our con-
temporary is based ..uponr its faith in
the integrity of the party. 1t believes
that the convention of 1905 will adopt
q platform that will bs essentially
Democratic and that it will nominate
q Democrat for the presidency. II the
sGonventlon should fall to keep faith
with the News: II it should adopt a
platform which did not contain the
.'essence of pure Democracy" or IT, as
was done i'll 1872. 1t should nominate
a Republican, the News would not feel
that it was bound by it's pledge.
~ After all. as Mr.. VIM. j. Bryan
has said it is fidelity TO ideas held in
common that binds men together in
any cause and makes party organi-
cations possible.

MN. BRYAN AND THE rHEss.

The Associated Press reported Mr..
! William j. Bryan as having said IN
his Richmond speech that, "the Ercat
metropolitan dailics are controlled by
the trusts and their columns are open
! to the highest bidder"
The New York World called upon
Mr.. Bryan to make good" and he. re-
piled that he did not say 'all, but
many"
According to the report of his speech
In The Dispatch, Mr.. Bryan said:
MANY newspapers are merely the
adjuncts OF great business enterprises
aud the owners hire brilliant men to
cfloroform the public while they go
through their pockets. The welfare of
the country does not depend upon the
great metropolitan daily, whose col
u1nns are for sale. but upon the cotin-
try papers. which are 80 close to the
people they dare not go wrong"
But whether Mr.. Bryan said "all'' or,
many" the World would have him ut,
a disadvantage II 1t should demand
the names of the metropolitan news
papers whose editorial columns are for
sale, together with proof of the charge,
and Mr.. Bryan should never have made
such charge without evidence to sub
stantiate it.
