THE FIGHT IS ON.

The two leading parties in Virginia
have named their candidates for State
officers, the Republicans by large rep
resentative convention and the Demo-
Gratis by primary of limited proper
tions. The Republicans have signified
through platform where and for what
they stand on national and state ques-
tons, while the Democratic candidates
are without any platform of principles,
leaving it to each individual on the tick
ct to be silent or to advocate whatever
he may choose to stand for.
Thus do we find the political lines of
battle formed or being formed. The
Republicans are united on their candi-
dates and are in full sympathy with the
platform of principles promulgated at
Newport News. Not SO with the Dem
ocrats. The primary campaign demon
strated that the Virginia Democracy
was sharply divided, both on men and
measures. Bitter strife prevailed among
the leaders and rank and file until the
polls were closed at the primary held on
the 5th instant. One result was that
nearly One-half the men who have here
tofore voted the Democratic ticket re-
fused or refrained from participating in
the primary.
The battle between the Republicans
and Democrats is now on; and the re-
suit of this contest cannot be definitely
determined until the vote is counted
after the general election in November.
The Democratic managers and candi-
dates pretend to have no doubt of vic
tory. They assume that the machine,
that was powerful enough to crush the
opposition lead by the Hon. Harry St.
George Tucker, will be able to pacify
the dissatisfied element and poll unit
ed vote for Judge Mann and the other
Democratic candidates. Will they be
able to do this? That is the burning
question. There are many thousands
of Democrats in the State who have
become thoroughly Disguised with ma
chine rule, and who are no longer to be
charmed with the name or word Demo
crat, stamped on just anybody or any
thing. They are no longer frightened
by the name Republican, which to many
has become the synonym of progress.
They begin to see that the Republicans
stand for something definite, and are
not afraid to let their principles be
known. Everything indicates that the
Republicans in this campaign will
have considerable accretions and the
Democrats corresponding losses. Will
these losses be large enough to compass
the defeat Of the Democratic party?

THE ARMY OF OFFICEHOLDERS.

INT ARMY Uf UfflCtHUlD6RS. \
The Richmond Journal, which has
said and done more to disgrace Judge
Mann in the esteem of the honest voters
of Virginia than any one influence, is
now scouting the idea of even possible
Republican success in the State. The
Journal says:
'As matter of fact there is not the
remotest danger of defeat of the Dem
ocratic ticket.
when election day rolls round in
November an army of ten thousand
othce-holders, beginning with United
States Senators and coming down to
justices of the peace, will see that this
State and their jobs are not endan-
gered."
So, the Journal is expecting the army
of Democratic office-holders, the CO.
horts of the machine, to rally enough
of the independent and anti-machine
Democrats to the support of the ma
chine ticket to savei it from defeat.
The candidate of the Journal (Mr.
Tucker) has recently suffered unmerit-
ed defeat at the hands of this army of
offce-holders that do the bidding of
the machine. And the Journal knows
that this army of political brigands"
stand together and fight for the swag
when confronted by an enemy who pro-
fesses to hold the same political views.
But will it be able to win the aid of the
thousands of honest Democrats who are
disgusted with the machine and are
tired of being enslaved for the benefit
of an office-holders trust? The Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot declares that the ma
chine has already selected its candidate
for Governor in 1912; and we have nc
doubt but that all other important of
fees. State and county, have been ap-
portioned among <he hungry horde that
seek the crumbs that fall from the ma.
chine table.
How frequently have the Democratic
newspapers declared that the Republi.
can party in Virginia was composed OF
and kept in existence by Federal office.
holders, who had no principle but desire
for place and pelf? Here is a confes
sion from the Richmond Journal thai
the great source of power of the Demo
cratic party in the State is with the
army of office-holders, the same army
that Carter Glass nine years ago de
nounced as an army of political bri
gands" or office-holders' trust" Fol
: more than ten years this army has beer
the cohesive power of the Virgins
Democracy. The new constitution wa.
; made, professedly, to get rid of THU
power or influence, but the new organic
law furnished ample means to strength
en- its hold, by increasing the army o.
of6ce-holders.
Will the thousands of Democrats wht
refused to vote in the primary, becaus,
of their contempt for the machine, bt
dragged to the polls in November anC

chine ticket? Will they help to strength
