Delaware railroad to take care of the
peach crcp. estimates that It will be the
largest season since 1875 The June drop
this year has been very light, possibly on
account of the wet weather Thousands
of young trees have been set out in the

now beginning to bear fruit
The prospect for good prices for the
crop Is not very encouraging, and many
growers in the lover part OF the PENN
sula, where the fruit Ia the best, are
Offering their orchards at 25 csnts per
basket. The fruit packers will handle
very little of the crop. as the low price
Of the canned goods will not warrant it,
should they be able to get the fruit
without cost.

We are confident that l. Irving Handy,
chairman Of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee,is is not 4 candidate for the
Congressional nomination In the sense In
which It seems to be generally under
stood by those who are interested In local
politics and who like to keep the drift Of
the aspirations OF public men.
tits not our province to speak for Mr.
Handy. but Judging By curtain expres-
sions and actions OF his but one reasona
BILE conclusion can be reached. That Is
that he Is friendly 60 the interests Of
Peter J. Ford, the Wilmington aspirant
for gubernatorial honors He is known
to have spoken IN Mr.. Ford's favor on
more than one occasion, but the thing
which most firmly conviDces us that he
Is Ford man Is the attitude which he
assumed at the recent meeting Of the
State Central Committee. When the
question OF calling q State Convention
for the nomination of candidates for
governor, representative In Congress and
Presi dentlal electors Was up for discus
sion. the friends OF Mr.. Ford on that
committee were anxious that an early
date should be fixed. Mr.. Handy was
most earnest advocate Of the movement
and voted with the Ford men through
out all the stages OF the question. and It
was probably due to his persuasive pow
ers that the tnree or four milford men
we're induced to vote for compromise
date
A close personal and political friend Of
Mr.. Handy's recently declared that In no
sense must he be considered aCongressIonAl
candidate unless the gubernatcrIal nomi-
nation be thrown to Keut or Sussex
county He would never accept th e
nomination at the expense OF Peter j.
Ford, DR.. John j. Black. or any other
New Castle county man who had any
earthly chance of securing the nomina
tion for governor.
When asked what Mr.. Handy's attl-
tude would be In case Kent and Sussex
county combined to keep from New Gas
tie county the gubsrnatorlal nomination,
he replied that In that event he
believed that the State Oh alrman's nAms
would be placed before the convsntlon.
But, to use his own language. "thal
is not to be considered at this stage OF tn
fight The question whether or not New
Castle county shall choose the candid al
for governor will not bs decided unit

OF the Congressional nomination viii b

Handy knows ful we'll and is not wor

foremost thought now is TO secure 70
New Castle county that to which be be
leves it IL rightfully entitled--th'
