nevertheless feel. in the first place.
that on the fundamental issue OF direct
primary nominations the governor IS
right. and in the second place. that as
the measure finally came up for &C
ton in the state legislature, IL was
well nigh free from all objections save
those OF the men who object TO IL be-
cause they are fundamentally opposed
TO any change whatever I'm the desired
direction.
THE bill provided only for direct,
popular action in the primaries in rel
atively small geographical and political
communities. thereby making the eN-
pertinent first where there was least
liability TO serious objection. and
avoiding or deferrinR the task Of deal
ing with those big communities where

j. 3. Finster. formerly of New York,
now of Sussex county. is in the CITY,
and quartered at the Jefferson, where
he may be for few days. Mr.. Finster
mas become very much interested in
Virginia development, and has sue
ceeded in interesting several promin-
ent New York capitalists along the
same lines. Backed by the money of
these capitalists, he is now looking
for tract OF land of sufficient dimen-
slons to make a big colony. The Tide
water section has greatly interested
him because of the splendid climate
and other favorable conditions, and he
is OF the opinion that the surplus popu-
lation OF New York, City could do no
better than to settle on the surplus
acres otsNirsinia, especially those sur.
plus acres in the Peninsula.
Mr.. Finster has some splendid nc
we'll as patriotic ideas. For instance
he says there is In some sections q,
the country surplus of population
while in other sections there is a sur.
plus of land. Why not scatter the
surplus population of one section owe,
the surplus lands of another. and thus
even things up. That sounds like sense
Tho question is, Can it be worked out:
Mr.. Finster thinks it can and he is
down in Virginia now to find out
whether or not he Is right about 1t.
Ills theory is good enough. aud it
may be that he can demonstrate its
practicablltty. At any rate he Is look
ing out for big tract of land to buy,
and upon which to put his theories in
to practice, and see what is in them.
