BIG MAN FOR GOVERNOR.

with their party to put up strong and mature man
for governor the Democratic ticket election but
they offer suggestions, conenting themselves with
wheeling away about the poor attorneys appointed in
the Virginia Dept case although IL the writer would take
the trouble to give all the facts of which lie is in pos.
session he would recognize the fact that the Virginia
debt has been handled by both parties. Such men
as John G. Carlisle ex.Democratic Secretary Of the
Treasury and ex-U S. Senator John Spooner Repub.
lican one OF the ablest lawyers In the United States,
have had hand in the case. But why tell the whole
truth, when the halttruth fits better?
We doubt very much II The Times would support for
governor one OF the strongest they could possibly
for even II he gave his consent to make
the race. We refer to Mai. NJ. NJ. Neeley. Surely a
man who At to represent the state in the national
gress would be able to hold the regns as governor
Locally we can think OF no man who would so well
measure up the standard set by the Times for
ernor as Hon. o. S. Mckinney, who has been now and
again mentioned for the office. Surely the party could
select no more "matured' standard bearer for the
Democracy than the Hon. o. S.

The Special Session

Liquor question should be con-
sidered at this session. When
Coy. Dunno calls the legislature
into extra Session to consider
the financial question, now tied
up in the Courts by suits pend
ing, alleging unconstitutional
appropriations and irregulari-
ties in appropriations, he should
bring the liquor question in the
call and, if possible, get that
settled. relative to Sunday clos
ing. The law is plain and COM
prehensive and the way to alter
matters and to take from the
officials, the embarrassment of
not enforcing the laws, is to re-
peal the law relating to Sunday
closing and give every city of
$4,000 or more population home
rule, then each such city can
settle its own problems as re-
CARDS the said Sunday closing.
Therefore. we recommend that
this question be encouched into
the call of the extra Session.
Don't be afraid of the ques-
ton, face it and settle it once
for all, or for a period of time
at least.
