PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Virginia voters will have the op-
portunity at the November election
Of favoring or opposing two amend.
mentS to the State Constitution.
Both of these amendments are of in
terest to the cities of the State. One
proposes to give Virginia cities the
privilege of having a commission
form OF government, provided such
form of government is desired by
the respective cities. Many cities
of other States have this form OF
government and it has proven an
advance step over the old and cum
berson city governments now pre-
vailing in Virginia.
The other amendment PROPOSES
that the provision forbidding the
reelection OF treasurers and COM
missioners Of the revenue of cities
be repealed, so that these officials
may be reelected if the people de-
sire to retain them in Office. Their
election will depend on the wishes
OF the people, and the people should
rule. If they desire an efficient
treasurer or faithful commissioner
of the revenue to continue in office
they have right to that choice. Il
such officers prove unworthy. thu
people will be able to make a change
County treSsurers and commission
ers Of the revenue may be re-elect
ed, and discrimination should no
be made against city treasurers an,
commissioners of the revenue.
To vote for these amendments
will be necessary for the voter I
scratch the word against" An
it seems only fair that city treasur
ers and commissioners of the reve
nue. have the same privilege of re
election as county treasurers an
commissioners of the revenue.

showed the way to all others in the

VI @hR
The above ticket invites the sup
port of all Democrats and others
who desire that our Government
shall offer equal opportunities to all
and special privileges to none.
Governor Wilson has made
good as the executive head Of the
great State of New Jersey. He has
made good as the candidate of the
great Democratic party. During
his canvass he has shown that he
possesses qualities of leadership
and constructive craftsmanship that
challenge the admiration of all hon
est men. Governor Wilson has
bright prospects of election next
Tuesday. There is no question how
Virginia will vote, but apathy due
to over confidence may keep many
Democratic voters from the polls.
They should all go and have a voice
in the election of a Democratic Pres
ident.
Governor Marshall, the nominee
for the Vice President, has an envi-
able record as Governor of Indiana.
He is a man of capacity and honesty
of purpose, and will preside over
the next Senate of the United States
with wisdom and ability.
Representative Flood has been
faithful and efficient public servant
and has been instrumental in secur
ing for the Tenth Congressional
District many advantages. Rock
bridge and Lexington should rail-,
to his support.
