Were the Ocean Breezes More Congenial
Than His Elective Franchise9
Inquiry at the Office Of the Department
of Elections, elicits the fact that Mayor
Austin Harrington is not registered and
cannot vote at the city election
on June !. This reform Republican
mayor whom every one would think,
would set an example as a leader Of his
party and chief executive of the city by
becoming duly registered and qualified to
exercise his franchise as a citizen, went
to Atlantic City on Saturday, finding the
sea breeze more to his taste than a walk
to his election district to register.
The mayor said that lie had lost his
tax receipt and could not get through the
crowd at the tax office on Friday and Sat
urday to obtain duplicate Probably
he went to Atlantic City to have his
anguish and grief over this fact soothed
by the ocean air.
Does any one believe that a man with
the power and influence Of the mayor of
Wilmington could not have sent mes
senger or a burly police officer through
the crowd on the stairs TO Collector
Neary, who was not so busy but that he
could have made one out in
a moment for the mayor Of the cityg Did
the mayor not discover that he had lost
his tax receipt until just before he took
the train for Atlantic City? Or did he
not know that he could have obtained a
duplicate at any timer

OF the defendants to make use Of all ap
