UP Tn CIrY COMMITTEE.

AZ the official representatives OF tn,
Democratic party Of Eichmon. i, Is
the duty OF the City Democratic Com
mittee to provide the plan for the
nomination of the new Administrative
Board. Richmond has SO long had
nominations by primary tina, probably
no other plan has even occurred to the
great majority of tho citizens. Bu; is
the primary tho hes, plan under the
present conditions? is it even work

tight WIFI not be between the two lerd

be chosen end under a single primary
the successful candidates need not
have at the outside more than 1900
votes apiece. That In effect would give

Of the registered voters With twenty
candidates in the Eeld. therefore
Whatever else might happen under the
single primary 1t would be absolutely
certain that the final selection would
not be the choice OF n majority OF the
voters. nor would there be any assuf-
ance that even handful OF voters
would approve unrcseryedly the t!cketl
so selected. For 1t must be remcm-
hored that Richmond has to choose
not FIVE satisfactory individual com |
n!ssioners, but nve men, who, because
they are selected for their special mt |
ness, can and will supplement each
other in giving Richmond an example
