ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL

AN open letter 10 the democrats OF
Virginia signed By 1913 prominent men,
urging the voters TO destroy ma
chine" rule, was issued Yesterday hy
the Virginia Democratic League
which is looking after The Jones-6lass
senatorial campaign. II is the same
old story, the letter charging that
deplorable political conditions have
come in Virginia as = result Of ma
chine" domination. Among the
sipners are two former governors, A.
+. Montague and ], Hogc Tyler, L.
S. Barbour, president OF the Virginia
Aptisaloon League; Mayor James u.
Riddick, Of Norfolk; Harry st. George
Tucker, Robert l.. Lee, IT,, l.. RI.
Machen, Aubrey F.. Strobe, patron
Of the defeated Strobe State wide pro-
hibition submission bill, and the Rev.
s. S. Ware. an antisaloon leader.
The letter says present conditions are
tending to keep out of public life
many OF the most gifted and unselish
members Of our party" and says: A
few officials holding high places, con-
,emptuous of the rank and file OF the
party by whose sufferance they holo
place and power, have organized with
in our party secret combination
commonly called ring, with the OBJ
iect nf filling the positions OF The
marty, as we'll as the offices OF The
people, with those only who vail &c
the bidding Of this oligarcy. The nd
dress ends as follows.
We, therefore. appeal to the demo
Gratis OF Virginia to organize to secure
good government with the same yea
With which the enemies ct popula
rule have organized for their own sci
fish interests. We urge all democrat:
in the state to cooperate in destroying
The power OF the ring; and to follow
up their victory with progressive legls
lation designed TO prevent recurrence
of the abuses from which we. suffer,
and TO render impossible the restora
lion of a system so degrading to the
good name Of Virginia.
This, it will be seen, is the old fight
OF the outs" against the "ins" with
little chance Of the former winning
As has lleen heretofore stated, the
principal opponents OF Senator MaEtlt
are disappointed ofticeseekers, whose
gifts" and 'unselfishness" have no
been recognized as they think they
should have been.

REPUBLICAN HOUSE Caucus.

REPUBLICAN HOUSE CAUCUS.
The party caucus OF republican mem
hers OF the House Of Representatives
held last night was q fairly harmonious
gathering. Conforming 10 the pro.
sramme adopted day or to ago, Req.
resentatiye James f. Mann was named
~ minority leader, and he will ac-
cordingIy he put forward tomorrow as
the republican candidate for speaker.
Mr.. Mann was placed in nomination
by Joseph &. Cannon, former speaker
OF the House. There was no opposition
to the candidacy OF Mr.. Mann.
Representative Currier. Of New
Hampshire, was reelected chairman
of the caucus and Representative
Kendall, OF Iowa, secretary. Mr.. Carrier
is a regular, while Mr.. Kendall is an
insurgent. The regulars were disposed
to placalc the insurgents, and it was
for this reason that Mr.. Kendall was
named secretary OF the caucns organi-
zation.t Representative John Dwight, Of
New York, was reelected republican
whip.
The only proposition presented for
discussion during the evening that ez-
cited any debate was in regard to the
appointment Of republicans to the
House committees. The regular
leaders are hostile TO the committee on
committees plan, and they said so
plainly last night. All the insurgents
present insisted upon the assignment
Of republicans TO the House committees
in accordance with the rcioim idea.
A resolution presented Is Represen-
taliye Mann, protesting against The
action Of the democratic caucus in
assigning 10 its membership the adj
litional places created on each Of the
House committees, was adopted.
