In Virginia the progressive move
ment in the Democratic party bids
fair TO rival, within State lines. the
SSheTal lnSurgent movement within
the Republican party which made the
Middle West the only battle-ground
within which Republican victories
were possible in the last campaign"
said Frederick J. Warwick, OF. Eau
quier county, at the Metropolitan.
says today's Washington Post.
Progressiveism has had but little
meaning 10 the average Virginian
with political tendency or political
ambitions. Virginia has had struggle
enough TO settle the race question
which has for more than three de-
cades been the dominant political
question in that State.
With the question of who shall
vote and why as il is today res ad-
Indicate, the Virginians of advanced
thought and broad-gauge ideas are
turning to the study of the evil which
must beset any State in which one
political party holds absolute domi-
nance. For this reason Democrats.
as well as Republicans, look forward
10 the coming contest for the two SEN
atorships with a lively interest and a
IlVeIier hope, not that any one particu-
lar candidate or pair of candidates
may be successful, but that out of
TINS intraparty fight may come a real
appreciable understanding of the
value OF independent and thoughtful
action in State as well as in national
politics"
