Said we'll known Democrat to the
writer OF these notes yesterday the Demo.
Gratis will carry the Legislature by elect.
ing Democrats from the following Legis-
lative districts: Number two, Senatorial

will be represented by Senator John Pyle.
holding over member; number ono, Legis-

Number five, comprising the Tenth,

comprising New Castle hundred; number

The Democrats he said would elect four
Of the Senators In New Castle county and
seven OF the Representatives giving them
II members out Of the fifteen msmiurs,
who will sit in that body from that county.
He has certainly got ever ything down
fine in his mind, but wo don Z imagine that
he was honest in his belief, but we give ID
to our readers 81 he gavo ID to the writer.
licans have not even d ghost of show In
New Castle county. He showed where
the Democrats were ahead In the rural
hundreds and that there was no possible
way for the Republicans to gain the ascen-
dency. All that was needed was to have
the votes counted, tho Democratic nolni-
nees handed out their certificates Of cleo
tion. Ho surely must have brushed up
against l.. Irving Handy lately to got tho
Inspiration which no tried to impress on
those to whom he was talking.
The Every Evening Is thrashin9 around
like u whale In asmall tank. II has not q
good word to say for even the Democratic
candidate for sheriff. 1t don't like L. IT.
Wing Handy for Congress; 1t can't bear tho
thought that General Donohos 10 II candi-
date for the Legislature from the fourth
Representative district
In fact the very mention OF Webster
Blakelys name for Senator In the Third
District gives 1t spaslns Of thu worst kind.
Then it has the Addicks' phobln and cries
out warnings every day to fta Democratic
and Republican mugwun p readers, that
the only way to vote RICH, IL not to vote
for any of the above mentioned candidates.
The campaign thus far has been slow
one. The chairmen of the two pHrties are
slow, in fact SO slow that II 1t was not for
tho CHATTER kept up by the press the foters
would not know that An election was
near at hand But the fact romans. lev
ortholsss, that the day Of election is rnpidly
drawing near, when the battle will bs
fought out at tho ballot box
We are willing to leave the issue with
the voters They have been fooled for years
but we think they have been fooled for the
last time. At any rate that is how We feel
about 1t.
The fact remains from the outcome of
the fight for Legislative nominee in tho
Seventh Representative District IN which
Godfrey H. Handy was defeated, that hs
has not the pull enjoyed by bis father SEN
ator Robert Handy. Still there is always
another day and the man who can saw
wood and keep u stiff upper lip, Is bound
to win in tho end Success In politics 10
like kissing, 1t goes by favors
The next political meeting Of any size
will be held by the Democrats In the bi10u
Theatre. This house has been hoodoocd
and nothing has ever been successful that
has appeared in It's walls But this fact
should not doter the democrats from hold
ing their meetings as scheduled.
Several we'll known politicians wers
talking together about the political cut
look and what this and that Hundred was
going to do and what majority they wore
sure Of for their candidates whom one OF
tho Qsntlsmsn said, white man Is very
uncertain" It don't pay now q days to
count your chickens before they are
Matched.
It u real funny to hear some Of the boys
talking about the men who received crisp
new dollar bills In envelopes through tho
mail to pay their registration fee. Tho
law on this subject does not appear to
amount to the paper 1t Is printed Oh.
