Sir'-Wi!l you permit reply to
your editorial denouncing az "polit-

cohduct or Democrats who refuse TO
vote for Trlnkle?
In the past nifty years many emf
nont Democrats and Republicans have
bolted. In 1872 great number Of
distinguished Republicans refused TO
support Grant. while Charles O'Conor
and many other distinguished Demo
crats refused TO support Greeley
In 1919 Roscoe ConklnH. George
William Curtis and great number
81 other eminent Republicans re.
fused to support Blaine.
In 1896 Senator Teller and many
other Republican leaders bol,ed the
nominees OF their party. while VIII
liam Jennings Bryan went into the
democratic convention notwithstand-
ing the fact that he had openly
aVowed his purpose to bolt II the
convention did not declare for fire.

cleveland. John G.. Carlisle. William
j.. Wilson and a host of Democratic
leaders whose names have become
historic refused TO support Bryan.
In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt and
hundreds Of Republican leaders bol,ed

In many cases these eminent men
not only participated in primaries.

DO Your Duty Today

Ut is tho duty Of every Virginia citizen

dates of his choice. Those who negligcntly
have failed TO qualify must bear the brand
Of poor citizenship and he classcd with
those who are so careless OF their rights OF
suffrage that they do not trouble. themselves
with the ballot. There far TOO many of
both kinds in Virginia, a condition that is
proved by the number of votes cast in for
mer elections as compared with the total
number OF potential voters and whether it
is the fruit of overcontdcnce on the part
OF Democrats, reflection OF a forlOrn hope
on the part OF Republicans, or a product of
our voting laws, ii stands forth as re-
proach upon the State We have a chance
today to prove 10 the world that we are not
the careless, apathetic citizens We have been
pictured. No can correct that impression
by going TO the polls and casting our bal
lots, no matter what our political faith.

Upon the Democrats who voted in the
primary. and upon those who did not vote,
but still wish to retain their allegiance TO
the party. there rests today an obligation
that cannot be escaped Ii they fail TO vote

violated their primary pledge. l! they vote
against him, they will have rcnounced
allegiance to their party and deliberately
surrendered ths!- right 10 voice in its
