II is time for all good men to unite in
defeating those whose only object IN
gaining power is to further their own
personal gain. We believe the Demo-
cratic party is able OF itself to do this,
but IL the Regulars are In earnest they
should join forces with us and make
che destruction of the common enemy
complete Delaware Democrat.
There is not man on the Addicks
ticket in Sussex county that was put
there by the party convention. Every
man was put there at the instance and
only at the instance Of the salaried Cby
Addicks) chairman Of the Addicks
County Central Committee Of Sussex
county And they talk to us about free
elections Sussex Journal.
IL you live in a Democratic district
do what you can to give your candi-
dates for senator and representative
a big majority. That would be COM
pliment to them and a great help to
the state and county tickets. If you
live in a Republican district, don't be
discouraged because you can't elect
your candidate for the Legislature.
Your vote and work may elect the state
and county tfcKets.-Dover Delawarean.
Victory belongs to no man unless he
works for il, wins 1t, and has made
himself worthy of It, Therefore, let
every man who can pull a pound, pull
Il. Let every man who can make a
vote make that vote. Let every man
be on the alert and watch every move
ment Of a willy corrupt, unscrupulous
foe.-State Sentinel.
If John B. Dcrman or Edward Hous-
ton think the people of Sussex county
will permit this unlawful conduct OF
the clerk OF the peace to go unchal-
lenged, they are very much mistaken.
Their Massey friends have lost their
power in Delaware, and the people will
soon rule their own affairs.-Milford
Chronicle.
All should understand that a failure
TO elect the Democratic ticket means
Addicks rule in Delaware, and if once
he and his henchmen should get con-
troll OF the state nothing necessary, no
matter how dishonest or corrupt, for
their continued hold on the state, will
be left undone. The peris is great and
men should not fail to understand their
responsibility in this regard, and un-
derstanding should not fail to respond
and do their full duty.-SeaIord News.
Our own state government is Of far
greater interest to us as individuals
than anything else. Delaware has been
under Democratic control for thirty
years, and is decidedly the best govern
ed state in the Union. By ali means
elect a Democratic Legislature and
Levy Court.-Laurel Sussex Countian
Democrats let nothing that can be
overcome keep you from the polls. Re-
pudiate the administration for criminal
negligence in this war. Stamp into
dust with your ballot Addioksism for
ever. Let the wholesale robbery of the
people by the corporation who contrib
uted to the campaign fund meet youl
disappToval. Come one and all ant
vote for the Democratic ticket.-Mil-
ford Herald.
1t is gratifying TO all well-thinkinG
people Of this state to find the way tC
bribery blockaded. The new Constitu
tion has closed the door and the act o.
the Legislature has locked 1t agains
the briber. and he who breaks the loci
must suffer the penalty. 1t makes 4
extremely hazardous to buy voters az
any one will see who reads carefully
the new Constitution and the election
laws passed by the last legislature
Milford News and Advertiser.
Up to Saturday last our Democratic
friends were blue on the prospects o
the election, but now they claim t
have a majority in each Of the thre
counties. Candidate Handy makes thi
claim, as do the Democratic committee
men. Republicans deny this, and wit
apparently good ons.-Middletowl
Transcript.

to. He understands the condition @
things, the cause and the remedy. II

watch how he shapes his way

So we'll does the Delaware licens
law work in that state, that Prohibitio
Is not suggested. The proposed licens
law for Cecil county is framed aftC

Cecil Democrat.
A question for the class in politics
arithmetic: If the Higginsites sen
e seven thousand dollars into SUISSE
and the Addicksites send seventy thol
Eand, how much more corrupt are Il
I Union Republicans than the Regulars
{ Answer-not a whit.-Justice.
