had he received few thousand more
votes. he would have been the regu-
larly nominated candidate of the pro-
gressive party. Would Roosevelt have
accepted him and worked for him, or
would he have bolted?. !.
Roosevelt bolted the republican
nomination in 1912, advancing in JUS
tification of his act the charges that
the nomination was made by a con-
vention not properly constituted; ;
hence it was fraudulent. But no such
charge could have been made in the
case Of sulzer. He went before the
members of the progressive party at a
primary election at which all had op-
portunity to express their choice. Had
he been nominated his nomination
would have been the act of the people
of that party. How far would that
have been considered binding?
While the conditions under which
an individual ought to support, or
may properly reject the nominee of
his party is something which must
always be left to the judgment of the
individual. two truths stand out prom
inently in this connection. One is that
man entertains q very low opinion
of the usefulness of party organiza-
ton who refuses to support the clean
and capable nominee of his party for
no other reason than thaa for per-
sonal reasons he had preferred the
nomination Of some other candidate.
The other is that the political eM-
gency must be very great which justi-
fies one in supporting a candidate
whom he knows to be unclean and in
capable. no matter how or by whom
nominated.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

THE BEWILDERING BALLOT.

New York Times: If the direct pri-
mary laws is to stay on the statute
books, 1t is desirable that a large vote
be polled at each primary election.
II the people are made responsible for
the nomination of candidates, then
the people should nominate them.
They should not be nominated by
small minority in each party, but by
at least a majority OF the enrolled
voters. Therefore everything that
tends to disgust the voter with the sys-
tenn and make him stay at home
should be eliminated from the law.
Yet the present law seems artfully
contrived to produce that very result.
When the voter yesterday went into
his booth he found himself confronted
with a ballot that was not simple, but
puzzling. bewildering. hard to vote.
There was nothing to indicate what
any Of the crowd Of candidates stood
for. no guide to whether they were
Tammany or anti-Tammany, Barnes
or ant-Barnes. The voter who wanted
to vote a straight organization ticket
was obliged to learn the names by
heart before he went in. This is
said to be for the purpose Of encour-
aging Independent voting: really it is
Tor the purpose of making it impos-
sible to vote a factional ticket. Inde-
pendent voting is fine thing; but the
voter who wants to vote an organiza-
ton ticket has his rights. One of
them is to vote as he pleases. and an
other is not to have artificial obstacles
put in his way by law.
Nor is 1t merely question of. ma
chine or anti-machine. It is also a
question Of principles. Some voters
want radical reforms enacted and
some are opposed to radicalism. There
La no way by which they can tell
which of the candidates belong to the
wing Of the party which will carry out
their ideas If put in Office, It will be
said that 1t Is the voters duty to ac-
quaint himself with the names Of all
the candidates and what they stand
for and in some millennium perhaps
he will. But what Is the use of leeis-
lating for an electorate Of saints and
sages? Our legislators know that in
fact the voter is acquainted only with
the names of two or three leading
candidates. and perhaps with those in
his own district. and they should leg
islate with that fact in mind, and not
on the theory that the voters are all
Solomons and st. Pauls.
The illiterate voter stands absolute
ly no chance with such a ballot. With
out an emblem he has no way of tell
Ing how to vote. If it is intended to
disfranchise him. it should be done
openly, as it has been done In Massa-
chusetts. and not by sharp practice
IN legislation. He. too. has his rights,
and to disfranchise him in this way is
to repeat in New York the tactics of
the Grandfather Clause.
The danger of such q ballot as con-
fronted the voter yesterday is that one
experience will dishearten him and
make him disinclined to take the
trouble another year. Then the NOM
inadons will be made by a small and
compact body of well-trained men,
acting under orders, and we shall be
back where we were before, and
considerable distance further.

this conviction. the board adopted y

The city engineer was directed to
formulate an estimate as to the cost
of changing the grade on Ninth

months show the average temperature of the
open-sir classes when they started was 99.2,
while the highest was 1922. The temperatures
are taken twice a day, and the pulse is taken
once day. The average temperature at the
end OF the five months was $50. The greatest
gain In weight at the end of the allotted time
was 10 IL pounds, while the average gain was
2 1-2 pounds. Can the city council refuse TO
appropriate money for cause which means so
much TO the child welfare Of the city? One has
but to visit the open-air school TO see the re-
suit of this splendid work Children that were
weak and inefficient are now rosycheeked. fat
and strong. and their bright little faces send
glow of warmth to the heart of the onlooker.
The schooroom is an iron frame, covered
with heavy canvas, The children are not only
taught their lessons, but personal cleanliness.
Each child has his or her individual tooth brush,
soap and towel. and this atmosphere is taken into
the home. where cleanliness has been sadly ne
elected. They are also taught when to go to
bed and when to rise TO sleep with windows
open and other essentials to a healthy life.
While in the classroom :hey are wrapped In
heavy wooden blankets. gloves and stockings,
furnished by the ladies interested in this work.
At stipulated hours, the cots arranged and
the children are allowed to take short maps, and
with the sunshine streaming in them. and

benefits to be derived from this method of caring

The parents Of children attending public
schools OF Richmond should work to attain the
open-ar schools at every public school in the

brought to bear the city council will wake up to
the needs OF the children. The Richmond edu-

IRVINE TO LEAD TO VICTORY.

In selecting r. Tate Irvine TO redeem the
party the Democrats have selected strong man,
on whom all factions can agree. For many
years this district has been dominated by the
Republicans, but the overwhelming sentiment
by which Mr.. Irvine was selected speaks we'll
for the outcome in the election. r. Tate Irvine
lawyer, capitalist, has been a dominant figure in
the politics of the southwestern part of the
State. He was an original Wilson Democrat
and was a delegate to the national convention at
Baltimore. He is of the highest character
and principles.
Mr. Irvine was nominated at the Ninth dis
trict convention by reclamation, the motion be-
ing made by Senator B. F. Buchanan, who was
his strongest opponent, and in opposing Con-
gresham Slemp for congress should reclaim to
the Democratic party The only section OF the
State that Is not In harmony with the party in
power. Mr.. Irvine nominated by Delegate
John ". Chall1ey, of Wise county, and after he
was made the choice of his party. delegates
who came to the convention to oppose him
gave their pledge of support in the race. Added
that Mr. Irvine is the first Democrat In the past
twenty years to run for congress with the
prestige OF Democratic administration behind
him.
