! The objection offered by Senator
Scott to a primary to decide upon his
successor. on the ground that it
would not be binding, rather weakens
tho Junior Senator's assertion that
he is not worried by Mr.. Hubbard s
candidacy.
Granting. rs Senator Scott holds,
that there is no state primary law,
the fact still remains that if the two
gentlemen should agree TO be govern
would remain only the question as
to whether they would keep their
word, a contingency not TO be dream
ed OF. Then. why not submit the
choice to the people. The present
| method CT legislative election has
long since fallen into dsrepute,
though sanctioned by the Constitu-
ton More than two-thirds of the
legislatures themselves have gone on
record as favoring the direct election
of Senators by the people. The state
senators and representatives appre-
ciate at their full worth the repeated
charges of bribery and corruption
made against them and would clear
their skirts Of further suspicion Of
|complicity in sending to the upper
House of Congress men whose wealth
was a considerable factor in their
election ~''''''' -<'".' - ~
Mr.. Scott is willing. he says, to
submit his candidacy upon the rec
ord he has made, and he feels that
he has nothing to fear from the Re-
publicans of West Virginia. That
being the case he can no longer OBJ
ject consistently to a primary.

LET EN- VOTE.

Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont's invitation
to Negro women to join in her cam
paign for womanhood suffrage places
the movement under the ban in ev-
cry state where Negro men are denied
the right to vote, but it exhibits in
Mrs. Belmont and her associates a
catholicity OF spirit, desire for right
remarkable in these days of discrim-
ination on account of color
We have never yet been able to
see the justice Of holding from women
the privilege Of voting. 1t is often
held against them that they are ig-
nCrant Of the simplest matters per
tanning TO civil government, but
nothing is said about the lack Of in,
ducement. Their intelligence is
such that they can surely grasp II
