will have to call halt on Algsr' q

painful contrast of the War Depart

The men who will make the nomina
irons for oil parties in New Castle
county are now duly enrolled, as the
law provides that only those who are
registered may vote at the primary
elsctions, at which all nominations are
made. The registration lists, therefore,
contain the names of those who will
make the nominations.
These lists. thus far, contain the
namss OF free, honest and independent
citizens, who esteem their suffrage as
worth something, and have taken the
time and incurred the trouble and
slight expense necessary to become reg
iHtered for voting, The primary election
vote, therefore, will not be- the con-
temptible. trifling, lawlesa and ire
spousibla element that il has mainly
comprised, in both parties. for many
years. 1t will be volts that will com
mand the respect and confidence OF tho
community.
To the making of thoroughly good
nominations, particularly for the Leg
islature, the conscience and intelligence
of this vote should be directed at the
primary elections, aoon to come off.
Upon this vote rests an Important
responsibility. IL ia to select canhi
dates for whom those who hereafter
become Registered, IS we'll as those who
participate in the nominations, will be
expected to vote at the electiun next
November.
Most particularly should these quail
fed voters endeavor TO secure tbs
nomination of good candidates for tht
Legislature. Such candidates ahuul6
be selected with view to their genera
fitness for the important duties of lsgis
latorH, and not merely upon tine issue o
whom they may favor for United State
Senator. No public office is more init
mately entwined with ths nateria
interests of the people than tho odic
of legislator. To tie Legislators is dole
gated the important duty of MAXIM
laws for the government of the com
munwealth, a matter in which ever
citizen has vital concern. How i'm
portant it Is, therefore. to elect mel
who possess sufficient intelligence I
know the needs of the public. and are
honest enough TO sternly set then
faces against tho establishments O
those who are constantly on this waite
for opportunities of securing persona
legislation that will enrich them at tn
expense of tbs rest of the people.
II can with reason be predicted thn
the vote We will have under our regis
