Sweeping Change In Election
Laws

Richmond, Va, oct. "a
Holding that there are too
many elections in the State.
that the people are called on to
vote as many as five times in
one year-as has been the case
this year-there is being dis
cussed a proposition SO that
there shall be a primary each
year aud one general election.
Because of the multiplicity of
elections, the people are losing
interest. There is a demand
that the State shall amend its
constitution by providing for a
primary election, to be conduct
ed under the general election
laws, for the nominations of
all candidates-county district.
State and federal.
1t Will be necessary to amend
the constitution so that the
terms of all officers shall com
mence at the same time. that
all parties desiring to nominate
by primary shall participate in
the single primary. but voting
for their own party nominees,
and then to have ali of these
nominees voted for in the one
general election for members
of congress, members of the
legislature, county officers, city
officers and all State officers.
There are innumerable good
reasons for this. To begin with
the expenses of so many cleo
tons has deferred good men
from standing for places, for
there are many persons who
would become andidates for
the legislature were it not that
they lose time when they go to
the sessions, the pay not near.
ly commensurate with their
earning capacity and they have
to pay primary elections more
than they receive for services.
Politicians and others fatten on
this sort of things, the result
being that the number of can.
didates is reduced to those to
whom the emoluments of office.
IN many instances, are a con-
sideration.
The matter is being discussed
and the suggestion is meeting
with general favor. Unless
present indications fail / h e
proposition to amend the con.
stltution to embrace these ideas
viii be made at the next SEES
sion of the Legislature.

Chairman II. Tate Irvine, of

ing letter to the Democratic
chairman of each county of the

"My Dear Sir
GAS you have read in the

Mr.. Slemp have entered into n
gentlemau's agreement for a

who buy votes, as we'll as the
unfortuuates who sells them.
must DO first adrnouished that
the practice must cease. Our
whole civic duty in this cause.
however, is not completed with
an admonition. We must or

ponents and assure them on all
occasions that swift retribution
Will surely follow u violation
of the election law. You may
rest assured that the movements

cheerfully admit that it is right

This letter is TO urge you to

good men to watch for any VIC

pure elections by any persons

assured that the Republicans
are watching us.

violation of the constitution
and the guaranteed rights Of
the States. 1t was one of the
most important and critical
cases ever tried in this country.
The result brought about by
Gen. Ayers firm stand and his
knowledge of the principles of
the law, was one of the first
checks to the encroachments of
the United States and its courts
against the rights of the States
n d to intrusion b Y those
courts upon the affairs of the
States. The quick and decisive
declaration from the highest
court of the land saved Virgin
ia from bankruptcy and her
people from great distress and
misery. While General Ayers
was not hanged, as was the
Charleston III II referred to
above, he was as ready as that
martyr to offer himself as a
sacrifice for the liberty, rights
and welfare of his people and
is fully entitled to public graft
tude and honered remember
ance. He earned we'll the pub
lie thanks he received from the
general assembly-an honor
accorded to few men in the
history of Virginia. He proved
himself to be a faithful, wise
and brave servant and officer
of Commonwealth and people.
