that the Democrats can not pass any par
tisan laws. The police force will then be

mission and voting will not be SO hard as
it has been made in the past by the ras.
cally thugs and shoulder hitters. The
time has come in Delaware when Repub-
licans will be treated with more fairness
and consideration than in the past. Vot-
ing should by all means be made as easy
as possible and not every obstacle placed
in the way that has been in vogue
so many years in our State.
We believe in ballot law that
shall do away with the clumsy
cumbersome Australian ballot end an in
telligent ballot like our fathers voted
given us. We are heartily in favor of a
more common sense ballot and one free
from the thieving Inspectors manipula-
tions and bogus stamps and finger marks,
which thereby cheat our citizens out of
their franchise and nuilify the provisions
OF the Constitution. The time has come
to cry q halt. All fair minded men are
always in favor of giving the people such
laws that are fair and just to all. We do
not want partisan laws, but laws for all
of our citizens irrespective to party
affiliations. Unfortunately the majority
have not ruled in Delaware for years.
The minority party passed such laws
that kept them in power and the ma
jority from getting in. The laws which
for years disfranchised Republicans in
this State were disgrace to an enlight-
ened people in civilized State.-Daily

From any possible American stand
point alliance with Great Britain would
be a blunder and a crime against our
people. There is not a national interest
or patriotic ambition Of ours which our
British relatives do not wish and con-
stantly strive TO depress. Our product
i've energies and resources are a CON
stantly growing incubus upon British in
dustry and commerce our normal ma
tional expansion must be largely at the
expense of Great Britain's former trade
monopoly. The construction and exclu-
sive control Of the Nicaragua Canal by
this country would transfer the crown
OF commercial empire from the brow of
the Queen to that Of the President. All
these things have been trite in British
political and diplomatic circles for a gen
GRAFTON and more. If it had not been for
the ever present possibility Of a Russo
American alliance, our Transatlantic rel
atives would not have conteuted Them
selves with negative action against MS.
