The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-11-09


DIR. Wilson, who entered the race for
governor at the behest OF the Demo-
Gratis OF his State, was without prac-
teal political experience. but has prov :
ed SO apt student OF the strong points
of the game that he Ii now held TO be
in the front rank OF politicians Of the
higher class. He proved strong
campaigner by reason OF his manly
courage, his unmistakabie stand
against corruption, his absolute lack
Of fear of the bosses In his ewn party,
and the frankness with which he took
the people into his confidence upon all
matters of public concern.
Mr.. Foss sprung into prominence
several months ago when he took the
Democratic nomination for Congress
In a strong Republican district and at
"a special election cnrried II by large
majority. He was late in entering the
race for governor, but made a vigor-
GUS fight once he got into 1t. and won
III handsome style. HiE victory Is the
more remarkable because OF the fact
that In State supposed to be hide
bound in it's devotion to the protective
tariff he made his campaign almost
entirely upon the tartf issue and In
favor of a real downward revision.
He Is a manufacturer who takes gains
from the tariff to which he frankly
states he is not entitled. He also has
ABILITY of a high order and the courage
Of his convictions.
Judson Harmon Ia about to finish his
frat term Ms governor Of Ohio. and his
re election comes ~ an Endorsement
Of his administration. He IL an old
fashioned. straightaway Democrat,
who makes few promises about what
he Ia going TO do. but waits until tho
time for action arrives and then goes
along and does the right thing ana
makes no fuss about II. The ccnven :
ton that renominated him launched
presidential boom for him, and the
party throughout the country has re-
sarded him fer mcnths AZ likely to he

EN- president Roosevelt threw HIM
self int the New York campaign with
his accustomed vigor lin all endeavor
TO stem the Democratic current which
was running high in all the States and
had set In in New York. In this en-
deavor he failed. and his political

The waning OF his great popularity

Of the Saratoga platform. He had

tor Bevertdge for separating from his
party and voting against that party
measure. In his speeches In the West
he openly repudiatcd the tariff plank
In his own platform and declared that
II did rot represent his views. MIR.
Roosevelt's personal strength and pop

THE PRESS VIEWPOINTS

party certainly argues for an inven
tory CT the impaired stock and the
rehabilitation Of its prestige. And,
indeed, conference OF the leaders,
with such a purpose in view. is In
contcmplat ton for the near future.
The Importance of following up the
election with discussion and state
ment of its position. as cleared up
~ election results. was early recog-
nized In high quarters. IT was fore
seer that the people would demand
To- be led out Of the labyrinth OF isms
In which they had become involved
by reason of divided leaderships and
radical doctrines. and the sooner done
the better for both party and peo-
pie.
On the other hand, the Democracy
seems To be In no hurry to clear the
atmosphere In their camp, if we ex-
aept the intimation of Woodrow Will
son that the party was waiting TO
see which way the cat would jump
on November before the new lead
ership weuld meet and determine
upon course CT action. No second
ing voice to this proposition having
been given. the idea of taking that
step Is in allegiance. despite the fact
that the Democratic party has not
gained control OF the lower house of
Congress by virtue of any definitely
outlined plan or promise In regard to
the questions pressing for legislative
aetlon.--W Washington Poet.

BOYCOTT ON CAR LINE
Maryland Strap Hangers Find Early Morning Walk De-
lightful and at the Same Time Cheaper Than Paying
Increased Fare Required By Law

One hundred and fifty commuters OF
Friendship Heights, Drummond Heights
and Somerset Heights, Nd, bright and
early this morning cheerfully tramped
from their homes to the District line,
where they boarded ears for their Of
hces in the city, and thereby began an
active boycott Of the Georgetown and
Rockville railroad in an effort TO have
the law compelling them to pay two
fares rescinded.
Heretofore, residents Of Friendship.
Drummond, and Somerset, the farthest
three-eighths OF a mile from the Dis
trict line, have been able to ride 10
their destination in Washington for
one fare.
Recently, however. the Maryland
Les stature enacted a law recurring
the commuters TO pay a nickel on the
Maryland side OF the District line. The
statute was effective this morning.
The commuters last night held an in
dignation meeting and decided to show
their resentment by walking 10 the
District line, the farthest for any oEe
being three-eighths Of a mile.

DEBATE RESUMED
ON RAILROAD BILL
Half-dozen Amendments to
Be Dealt With Before
Vote Is Taken.

Another days debate on the rail-
Soad bill began this morning in the
Senate. when the Crawford amend
Snent was taken UP. The body met
again at IL o'clock in the hope of
diBposing of all the amendments now
pending. Every Senator on the floor
ts said to be anxious TO have the bill
come TO a vote and practically all
committee work Of the Senate has
been suspended.
There are half dozen other amend
1Dents yet 70 be acted upon. Some Of
them will be disposed IN short order
but others Will consume more or less
time in consideration. This means
that a vote today on the passage Of
the bill is d doubtful proposition.
The defeat of the Bailey amendment
yesterday was the most important
action Of the week. His amendment
provided for changes in the law on
the commodities question designed to
make II conform to the opinion of
the United States Supreme Court. The
court had declared the old law in

which an effective law might be con-

Following the approval OF the postal
savings bank bill by the Republican
caucus, members OF the House Com
mittee on Rules began to formulate
plans today for the bringing in Of a
special rule that will insure its early
consideration in the House.
Inasmuch as fifteen insurgent mem
bers were not present at the caucus
and are not bound by its action. the
regulars are just bit concerned over
the special rule feature. The Rules
Committee has not attempted TO force
the consideration of a certain meas
ure by a special rule in many weeks
and the bringing in of such an order,
unless IL be drawn so as not 10 dis
please the insurgent and Democratic
factions, may meet with opposition
from the outset,

BUSINESS MEN WILL PLAY
BALL TO AID FAIRGROUNDS
Chamber of Commerce and Knights of Columbus Teams
Ready for the Fray, Which Occurs Saturday
At American League Park.

When the baseball teams Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce and the knights OF
Columbus Of Washington meet at
American League Park on Saturday
afternoon 10 enter upon contest for
glory and, incidentally, 10 earn by the
exhibition some money for the WASH
ington Fairgrounds Associations, a rec
ord breaking crowd is expected to be On
hand.
Every detail for the game has been
prepared by the committees in charge or
the event, and the managers OF the rival
organizations declare that their respec-
tive teams are i'm the pink Of condition
and both are sansuine Of success.
Vice President Sherman, one Of Wash
ington's most consistent fans" will oc-
cupy the box Of honor. and he has
promised to toss out the first ball TO be
used in the great game.
Mr. Sherman said he will be glad 10
attend the game for two reasons:
First because he would rather see a
ball game, if only for an hour. than to
swing a gavel for a lifetime.
Second, because he is a true friend OF
the Fairgrounds and is only too willing
