Wnntcd-A New Chairman

y ESULTS OF yesterdays primary in no
wise alter the conviction of thous-
ands OF stanch Democrats in Virginia that
Colonel Rorer a. James can serve HIS party
best by resignng the Craftsmanship which he
has prostituted TO partisan purposes That
conviction has impressed itself upon the
followers of Senator Trinkle as well as
upon those who supported Harry st. George
Tucker. With the rigors and excitement
OF superheated campaign passed into his
tory the aim and considered thought of
the rank and file will be that Chairman
James. having abandoned the quasi
judicial requirements of his position and
having led Scnrrilous and abusive attack
upon one OF his own partyS candidate
refusing 10 abatc the venom of his assault
even after his charges had been proved
untrue, has clearly demonstrated his unfit

There are some political wounds that heal
rapidly whom the ardor OF campa igning has
subsidized. and they leave no sears There
of which can be removed only by the erad-
cation of the cause. Such wound we
take it. is the one Colonel James has in
ficted upon his party by his unjust and

ness of the attack was apparent with the
