"2. In the effort to secure such amendment we invite the co-operation and assistance, not only of the people of Virginia, but the people of other States whoso welfare is equally in? volved. I "H. Pending tho adoption of such con? stitutional amendment, we favor tho nomination of our party candidates for the I'nited Stales Senate by State pri? mary elections, and we ask the General Assembly for legislation legalizing such primaries whenever hold. 4.
