Suggestions of the physical valuation

Railroads have fought this physto.p

Wants Primary.
WASHINGTON Ward,
Richmond, Va, May 4 1910.


Richmond, Va, May !, 1910.
Editor The Nirginian:
Sir,--There appeared in Rich
mond paper of April rs. 1910. under
the caption of mo Primary for South
side Ward" This decision was rem
dered by the City Democratic Com
mittee, and then the committee APP
pointed three Aldermen and five Coun-
cilmen for Washington ward.
We do not question the ability OF
these gentlemen. but We do question
the authority of the City Democratic
Committee in the action they took in
these appointments
1t Seems that the citizens of this
ard are not to receive the same con-
sideration and privileges that are
given other wards in the city by this
committee. If the other wards are
privileged to hold primary, then why
should Washington ward be exempt
ed?
We ask in all fairness of the City
Democratic Committee to give this
ward privilege. even at this late date
that the citizens may select their rep
resentatives to the Board of Aldermen
and Council, and not the honorable
City Democratic Committee.
We heartily endorse the action of
Captain Myers In defending the rights
OF the citizens of Washington ward in
these snap judgment appointments.
FAIR PLAY.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 4.--Whiie
President Taft goes catching on the
placid lake of amusement. his program
islative seas, shot-up, wave-swept.
leaking and ready to sink.
Blame for the distressing condition
OF affairs is openly being placed by the
regulars at the door of the president
They rage because he has not only been
Indifferent to the situation In Congress-
but that he seems to have no sense of
responsibility for the troubles that
have come upon the party.
When the president. being called at
Pittsburg over the long distance tele-
phone. lightly answered that the
wrecking of the railroad could be
charged to the insurgents, the leaders
Of the regulars Mere In mood to throw
up their hands and surrender the en-
tire legislative program. Then Taft's
smiling suggestion that some kind of
a bilf' could be passed added to their
Encouragement.
They have been reused to the pitch
of declaring that they will read the
riot act to Mr.. Taft when he gets back
to town. He will be told of his share
OF responsibility for legislation or lack
of 1t that will make up the record of
his administration and that IL the party
bills are to be passed he must remain
at home and fight for them. They will
insist that a complete failure to carry
out any of the party pledges cannot be
excused by the claim that the insur-
gents prevented action. They will try
to impress him with the fact that the
people will hold the president and the
Republican majority, not the insar
gents, responsible for results.
Charge Jaunts at Crisis.
The regulars have often expressed
disapproval of the Taft jaunts that
have kept him away from the capital
during large part of the session.
While legislation was in It's early
stages, however, his absence had no
serious effect but the fact that he was
not ut hand when the crisis came in
the consideration of the railroad bill
decided the regulars to call for a show
down. They felt that il he had been
here to exert pressure on near -insur-
gents the railroad bin might have been
saved In presentahle form
Veterans in Congress regard the
passage of bills with high sounding
titles and no substance as worse than
no legislation at all. The regulars are
discouraged by their repeated defeats,
ana unless the president VIII become
lighting ally they will be willing to
shut up shop and join with him In an
effort to blame il on the insurgents"
What was the important occasion
of the presidents trip just at this
timer" asked one regular to-day.
There was no definite reply. Some
one mentioned the May musical festi-
val at Cincinnati. Some one else pro
posed the farmers congress at st.
