Showing Their Hand.

The refusal of the Chicago con-
vention, by the overwhelming vote
of 9S to $50, to incorporate in the
platform a plank favoring public
lty of campaign contributions was
hardly needed to remove all doubt
as to where the Republican party
and It's leaders stand on this ques-
ton. Had they really wished pub
hcity of campaiagn contributions
and contributors. law to that eff
feet would now be on the Federal
statute books. Both Houses of
Congress are Republican by a good
stong working majority and
Republican President occupies the
w bite House. \ bill providing
for campaign publicity was intro
duced IN Congress during the ses-
sion recently closed. There was
not a day after its introduction
when the measure could not have
been passed had the Republican
majority so wished. But the Re-
pubhcans did not wish it passed, as
shown by their action in tacking
on to it the Crumpacker rider,
thereby forcing the Democratic
contingency, the vote of everyone
which had been pledged to its sup
port If allowed to come up solely
on Its merits, TO oppose the meas
ure to a man. The hypocrisy of
this political move was plainly ap-
parent to anybody having a modi-
cum of intelligence and caring to
use it. The object was to force
the Democrats into the false posi-
ton of opposing a measure the
enactment of which they had been
loud and insistent in demanding,
and so TO save the face of the Re-
publican majority. The trick was
too transparent to deceive anybody
save those who wished to be de-
ceived.-Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Our Leaders as Athletes.

y gentleman who is no novice in
Virginia politics has ventured the
opinion that the instruction of the
delegates from this State to the
Denver convention TO vote for the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan was a
and-wagon proceeding. So fara
many of the leaders are concerned.
We think the opinion a correct one.
but most aSSuredly it does not ap-
ply to the people-those who bear
the heat and burden OF the day
with no hope of reward. Senator
Daniel has 4 host of friends in Vir-
ginia, but he was not strong enough
to stem the tide towards Bryan.
Democrats who have stood by
Daniel ever since he first entered
the political arena in Virginia were
against him when it came to oppos-
ING instructions. Senator Martin.
who had little to say prior to the
meeting of the Roanoke conven-
ton, took a practical view of the
situation and spoke in favor of in
structlons. 1t was generally rec
ognized that if there is roll call at
Denver that Mr.. Bryan would be
nominated before the name of this
State Is reached, hence there was
no desire on the part Of anyone
outside of the Second District to
seriously oppose instructions. If
voting for Instructions was an act
of jumping into the Bryan band
wagon on the part of the leaders.
we desire to congratulate the gen
tlemen on their ability to Jump and
then land on both feet right up or
the front seat.-Clifton Forge Re-
