are TO be iuii demand for taxes. II
the property taxpayers do not respond
the collector can enter suit. He can also
enter suit against poll taxpayers II he
sees proper, but he never sees proper TO
do so. II he did 1t would defeat tue
whole object OF the law-the disfran-
chisemeut OF poll taxables.
Do the collectors comply with the pro-
visions OF the law? Yes, they do. They
indeed do more than the law demands.
The men who made this law were Demo-
Gratis. They intended 1t TO operate Just
as 1t does. IL received the sanction OF all
tho leading Democrats. Democratic Levy
Courts understand 1t, and appoint collec-
tors accordingly. Messrs. Mckee and
Dougherty are but cog wheels In tho
Democratic DISTINGUISHING machine. IL
costs New Castle County a big pile oil
money to keep up this machine, but that
is nothing compared to the Importance OF
keeping the Democracy in power.
