Lets BE Hopeful.

The Democratic convention at Norfok in-
posed upon the State Democratic committee
the duty of preparing primary plan IN har-
mony with and necessary to the legal and
regular conduct OF Democratic primaries tss
be held for the nomination of candidates befer%
such primaries. The State committee con-
Ivened In Richmond recently 10 take UP the
matter and 1T did take it up-in a manner
Some OF the newspapers of the State are
disposed to doubt the committees sincerity,
feeling which was somewhat strengthened by
the reported remark OF a member that we
have been lodging the primary long time"
and he was in favor OF lodging it little
flonger- While this Was said in open meeting.
and, as far we have seen. no one challenged
the assertion. 1t may be that this member did
not represent his colleagues and that in time
we are to have good working plan under
which primaries can be held as demanded by
public sentiment in Virginia---the kind of pri-
maries that will give fun opportunity for the
expression OF Democratic sentiment and will
exclude from Democratic arbitrations, as far az
possible, all voters who are not of the Demo
cratic faith. Some may frauduientiy and de-

The State convention was credited with
favoring primary plan and certainly its ac-

moeratc sentiment in Virginia, in spite of
tagonism from some journals and Others, has
for many years persistently demanded pri-
mary law and q primary plan which would put
an end even to the fear that the party's nomi-
ration would be accomplished by methods and
means altogether offensive.
The action of the committee in referring
TO subcommittee the duty of framing a pri-
mary Ian has been criticised II is difficult
To see how any other course could have been
pursued 1t would hardly be practicable for

the measure and 1t was quite natural 10 refer
this work TO a subcommittee. The character
of the committee left TO Chairman, Ely

party then ST course failure awaits. There IL
no reason why Mr.. Eifyscn should not appoint
ia good committee and there Is no- reason why
such a committee should report good
plan, and every reason why the State
mittee should adopt one. Further on. the leRis-
lature will be asked TO amend It's primary law

be reshaped. We shall see how effective is

Fire Is Believed to Have Been OF
Incendiary Origin.

A house occupied by Tiny Patter-

western section of the city was de-
stroyed by fire shortly after nine
o'clock Wednesday night
The Patterson woman is of the
opinion that her home was destroyed
by an incendiary, as an attempt was
made to burn it a month ago, when
pane was broken out of a window
and a blaze placed on the inside of a
room, but extinguished itself after
burning a small hole through the
floor. The fire started in the same
room Wednesday night, and the oc-
cupants say the odor of keosene was
plainly detected when they were
awakened by the flames. The house
was partially insured.
