NECESSITY OF CHANGES IN THE
PRIMARY SYSTEM.

The expense account filed by Col.
Cation, who was a candidate for lieu
tenant, governor in the recent Demo-
cratic primary. shows that the colonel
spent $500 for the privilege Of sub
hitting his name 10 the Democratic
voters and about double that amount
in bringing his claims to the attention
of the VOTERS. The total, Sl,OS1, OF
course is small In comparison with
the amounts spent by both OF the can
dIdates for governor. but II is large
enough to show that no man without
means may secure the Democratic
nomination even for a comparatively
unlmportant State office. as long as
the present system OF conducting pri-
maries is in use.
The Daily Press believes in the pri-
mary system and is confident that the
Democrats of Virginia will never re-
linquish their right 10 actually exer-
else a voice in the selection of their
candidates for office. The primary
under present conditions is to be pre-
ferrel to the mass meeting and con-
vntion, plan but complaints will
never cease until the party makes a
change in the system.
Before 1t is necessary to nominate
again, some radical
changes should be made in the sys-
TEN. II those who favor legalizing
the primary do not carry out their
object, then the State organization
should undertake the task of eliminat-
ing the Objectionable features OF the
present plan.

OF Ri 5gham. Alabama. in which
pr. x7Fans declared the preacher had

ne nfayorabiy upon the political par
engon.'' Rev. E. T. Dadmun. pastor OF
Trinity Methodist church, cited two
nrecedents in an effort to demonstrate
the right and propriety of a minis
ter's participation in politics when
moral issue is involved. The late
Bishop Galloway. OF Mississippi. and
John Wesley. the great English
preacher OF the eighteen century.
VINO is known as the father Of Metho-
dism were the two precedents.
John Wesley opposed the use OF
strong liquor for any except medicina.
purposes. and his opinions On this
subject were made a doctrine OF the
society organized by him from which
grew the great Methodist church OF
today. Yet IL seems hardly proper
10 ofser the life and work OF John
Wesley as a precedent for the activi-
ty OF some preachers In State poll
tics. John Wesley did not believe m
the use OF strong liquor as a beverage
and made the Encouragement OF such
a practice a doctrine of his society,
but we are not told that he went in
to politics to secure legislation to
prevent ether people from drinking
liquor II they so desired.
Another point suggests itself In con-
nection with what Mr.. Dadmun had to
say under the head Of Limitations"
He stated that preacher has no place
in politics unless there Is moras
issue involved" Upon this theory
many sincere ministers OF the people
have been led into strenuous partici-
patton in politics. Not only have they
preached prohibition from the pulpits;
they have become lobbists before the
state legislature and have button-hoi-
ed the voter with all the persistence
OF a ward politician and with all OF
the ccereive power OF the pastor. APP
parenfiy they do not realize that
moral issues are involved in a great

isiation ether than prohibition; thar
