A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Philadelphia Record says, Vir-
pinia, though stanchly Democratic as
a State, has one Congressional district,
the Ninth, that is Republican by a
slight majority. At the last election,
in 1916, the present incumbent, Repre-
sentative Slemp, carriedsit BY a vote
of 1888 to Is, AGO for his Democratic
competitor. The margin! between the
two parties, it will be noticed, is not
so great that it might not be wiped
out by popular Democratic candi-
date making a strong canvass. But
the Democrats will make no such cam
paign. The party committee of the
district has endorsed Mr.. Slemp for
reelection and passed resolutions de-
claring that "the minds and hearts of
ali our people are and should be turn
ed toward the winning CT the war,
and repudiating the idea that their
line and energy, be diverted from pa
t.riotic activities into the requirements
of a fierce political campaign"
The Record says, that is an alto
pether admirable sentiment. 1t is "s-
pecially commended to Republicans
who are trying to make partisan capi'
tai out OF the war, in the hope OF
capturing the next Congress. The
Virginia Democrats have pointed out
