Differences of opinion among members of the party" on this Issue were not met by the-'or ganisatton" fairly, frankly and with a Just-spirit of toleration. The "organl aalitfn" actually fought the nomination i- and, -election of Republicans who dared K-to proclaim their allegiance to the na ' tlohat party platform. . A premium was placed Upon- party" disloyalty. The Re publican who hart fought the election of tTe nominee of his party who stood r.on ;jhe natlona.1 platform and advo ... cated the gold standard, possessed a ' passport ,to the Inner council of the .

This' was the mor al Impressed not only upon the lenders,-- but on the rank and file of the party, and the end Is not yet A-similar vacillating and prescrip tive policy was pursued by the "or ganisation", hi reference to the consti tutional amendment regulating suff rage. The same may be Bald as to aUnoet every other public question. No policy can -be justly said to have been gives the party In the State by. theY'organization" during the past ten, years save and except the policy of In dlvlduaUsm, nepotism and the policy of rewarding party, disloyalty. To these causes chiefly can be traced the present deplorable condition of the party...

Sect ; 8 of -Article I of the State constitution ays: "No person shall be eligible as Gover nor or Lieutenant Governor unless nor ehaH 'the person elected to either of these two offices toe eligible to the same office more than four years in any term of eight years, un less the office shall have been oast upon him as Lieutenant Governor or president of the Senate." ; TflB UN W KITTEN jUAVT. Is there no wisdom or principle in volved In the unwritten law which de nies a third term to the - President? Most certainly there ley and one - of such magnitude as not to be lightly put aside. It is a part and parcel of our governmental structure, honored y the nation and in almost every state in the Union with a place in ita organic law and custom. It cannot be degrad ed by flippantly assigning it to the un dignified position of an unseemly "scramble for pie"; between the "ins" and the "outs."

The- Bill of Rights of the- State of Vlralnia..- drafted by; George Mason. and unanimously adopted by the Vir ginia convention June 12, 1776. says: "That the legislative and executive powers of the State .should , be separate and distinct irom tne -juaictaryi ana, that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression; by feeling and participating the burdens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a-private sta tion return Into the body from. -which they were 'originally taken, and the E ARE now selling our as:glado;get 'Smaller or individuals uGood therw PROVED .

This study takes up a great deal of valuable time that might be applied where It would do them infinitely more good in the short time' that the average boy at tends school. The great majority, I would say" three-fourths, drop out af ter they get through the seventh grade, (and this can be verified by comparing the number of fifth, sixth and seventh grade teachers In the. graded. schools, with the number of eighth, ninth and tenth grade teachers) and I believe It j to be a great injustice to this large majority to force them to spend a large part of their time On the study of Latin. That time could be devoted to things that would help them in the struggle for life that lies ahead of them and make it a great deal easier for them to get good positions and conduct their own business affairs. It would be much better to teach them writing, book-keeping and stenogra phy, all of which they could acquire a thorough knowledge of In the time that they giVe to getting a smattering of a language which they will forget be fore they have been out of school two years.
