special Correspondence Evening Journal
NEw CAsTLE. May l5-Since the
election Of collector of city taxes by
City Council on May 3, politicians have
been endeavoripe. by writing anonymous
aud libellous letters 70 various Whining
ton newspapers. which the EVENING
JOURNAL would consider unit for publioa
tion. TO make war among the local poll
ticians These correspondents have been
Disgusting as friends Of Merchant John I
Boyle, who was defeated i'm his candidacy
for the collectorship. While Boyle was
looked upon as the coming collectors
and was remarkably we'll qualified and
richly deserved the Office, these who
know him are well satisfied that he is
not given to emotional feelings on these
subjects aud is too sensible a man to
cry over a political defeat
which was. in part, as follows;
"A letter was published In your paper
Of lay s. 1923, under the caption OF
"An Inside story of the Recent Cam
psign in New Castle at FIRST sight this
writer would seem TO have warm I'm
terest IN my welfare, but to some Of US
the object intended was different The
apparent underground business Of the
letter was TO get the voters Of what is
known as the Shawtown element al
loggerheads with me, a great many Of
whom are my closest friends aud worked
hard with me TO elect the present
majority Of Council. In order, as they
hoped, that ! would get the office OF col
lettor OF city taxes.
''lhe whole number Of persons con
nected with the giving and receiving Of
this collectorship business was not more
than six or seven. For this reason do
not wish 20 have some person turn from
one hundred and fifty 70 two hundred
good friends Of mine into enemies
Aside from this the letter has many
misstatements The office is only worth
500 per year, instead of 81 600. as
stated There is $l2 00O TO collect at 6
per cent One year ago the friends Of
Mr.. Toner wanted 70 elect a Democrat
for mayor. AS a matter Of course. they
being Democrats. there was only one
ticket in the field headed Democratic
which ticket bore Frank f. Herbert's
name for mayor One styled Citizens
with Wilmer Hanson for mayor
"A Republican ticket has Frank
Blackburn for mayor Now. in regard
70 Mayor Hanson turning in the fnes OF
Mr. Toner'S friends is hardly true. as b.
has been known TO fne his own relatives
and personal political friends. when
brought before him. as heavily as be did
his opponents. The bulk Of his fines.
which were numerous. came from the
colony OF Poles and Hungarians. from
which no party got more than FIVE or six
votes Again, he gives me too much
credit FOR ability to obtain money from
Mr.. Herbert for political purposes
ANY and at persons who have had
any experience in Delaware politics
know full vel that the purse strings Of
ex-State Treasurer Herbert were always
loose when the Democratic party needed
any financial assistance.
IF you viii kindly insert this In your
issue Of May "a you win confer a favor
on your humble servant.
