TO the Editor OF The TImes-Disnatch
Str,--1 wish to heartily commend
your splendid editorial OF yecterdav
indorsins the candidacy OF Governor
Wilson.
AS transplanted Virglnian. who ,s
constant reader OF your paper /
nave hoped for some time that yo,,
would throw the weight of your infiu-
ence In favor OF Virsinia's distinru-
ished son; but I can we'll appreciate
the attitude of those Democrats who
wished to see the verdict OF tho New
Jersey " ars as test of Wilson'S
availability before taking O. position.
No intelligent New Yorker who is
FAMILIAR with our political situation
mere will deny that Wilson OF all the
candidates mentioned can most GER
tainiy carry New York, and from my
own recent experiences In Virginia. /
a m sure that two-thirds OF the peo-
pie in Virginia are in favor of his
nomination.
cannot see now how any member
OF the Virginia delegation who has
the interest of the Democratic party
at heart can oppose Wilson, whether
he personally favors him or not.
