VIRGINIA TAKES ANOTHER MOTOR RIDE.
Y ZEE VIRGINIA'S efforts to refine
the little hotel produced an
amazing change in Eliza Weth-

room swarmed with those seeking
food, and as the news of the girls

cowboys sought excuse to ride in and
get square meal and a glimpse of the
queen" whose hand had witched 1.-The

Generally they failed of so much as a
glance at her, for she kept away from
the dining room at mealtime.
Lee Virginia was fully aware of this
male curiosity and vaguely conscious
Of the light which shone in the eyes
of some of them (men like Gregg.
She had begun to understand, too that
her mothers reputation was barrier
between the better class Of folk and
herself. But as they came now and
again TO take meal they permitted
themselves word In her praise,
which she resented. ~ don't want
their friendship now.' she declared
bitterly.
As she gained courage to look about
her she began to be interested in some
Of her boarders.
So far as the younger men were con-
cerned. she saw little to admire and
much to hate. They were crude and
uninteresting rowdies for the most
part. She was put upon her defense by
their glances. and she came to dread
walking along the street. SO open and
coarse were their words of praise.

ton of the Democrats in Con-
gress in both the House of
Representatives and Senate, so
earnestly and so eloquently that
we have converted the Republi-
can party to this reform with but
few exceptions. We must not
desert it now. The foulest
charge that can be laid against
any party is that of insincerity
and betrayal of its platform
promises. The golden rule of
the Democratic party has been
to keep faith with the people.
While, of course, | am great

them are for me, pre-eminently
above this rises loyalty upon the

the people in keeping sacred
platform promises. I have re

IF the committee refuses to
include the senatorial race in the
primary it will do so IN open and

the State. The members of the
committee are the servants. not
the masters, of the Democratic
party; they are the trustees of
Democratic faith; they are not
casting their votes. but the votes
of the thousands of Democrats
of the State who have intrusted
them with their confidence"
