I'VE believe in a Government econ
omically administered so as to tighten
to minimum degree the burden of
taxation" This is one of the planks
of the really intelligent and practical
platform adopted by the Prohibition
Convention on Wednesday. 1t is a
sound plank, and it is Democratic to
the core. Our Prohibition friends will
have no difficulty in seeing this senti-
ment enforced in Delaware's State
Government if they will vote the
Democratic ticket at next November's
election.

IN THE PEOPLES HANps.

There is a tendency along political
lines to bring all offices within the gift
of the people closer to the voter. For
years efforts have been made in the
National Congress to SO amend the
Constitution that United States SEN
ators shall be chosen by direct vote at
the general elections, and there is
now pending in the Senate "a resolution
to this effect, which passed the lower
house of Congress almost unanimously.
Ii must be admitted that the recent
political history of this State would
assuredly be differently written had
the voters settled this matter finally
at the ballot box. Legislative dead
locks and nauseating rumors of bribe
givers and bribe takers might at least
have been avoided, and the voters
would have had the satisfaction of
knowing that men who were the choice
of majority of the franchised citizens
of the State, were delegated to repre-
sent them in the upper branch of Con
gress.
This theory of rendering a final de-
cission at the ballot box ought, how
ever, not be allowed to stop here, but
should go down all through the politi-
cal list. There is feeling extant now
in both the lower counties that the
methods in vogue in New Castle should
be introduced in Kent and Sussex. In
the upper county the county officers
as we'll as the legislative candidates,
have for years been named direct by
the voters at the primaries, and the
method has always given satisfaction
The voters of Kent and Sussex have
the right to follow this example when
the party rules permit It, and the Della
warean has always contended it would
be the part of wisdom for our County
Committee to avail themselves of this
privilege and so amend the party rules
that the plan could be put in force.
The county convention where few
men at times can so manipulate mat
ters that the desires of the general
voters are ignored, should be relegated
to oblivion, and the voter entrusted
direct with the privilege Of selecting
at the ballot box the men who are to
represent him in all offices of trust or
honor. We have always contended
that the people can be trusted to in
telligently decide all matters political
and we believe that the added respon-
sibility of naming all county and
legislative candidates direct would
lead to more intelligent and care
taking exercise of the elective fran
chise.
Let the voter select his candidates
and do away with the middleman
feature.

By resolution the Levy Court of this
county has decided that the upper hall
of the Court House shall no longer be
used for public entertainments, and
that nothing except political meetings
or ssemblages of public import can
hereafter be held therein. This action
has re-awakened interest in the Opera
House or theatre hall project which
was agitated two years ago. Our citi-
zens realize that 1T is almost absolutely
necessary that Dover shall have hall
wherein entertainments can be held,
and it is more than likely that the clos
ing of the old hall by the Levy Court
will force some practical action along
this lime.

LET US BATTLE TO WIN.

LET US BATTLE TO WIN.
By its action in naming the date,
June 16, for holding the Democratic
primaries to elect delegates to the
State Convention to be held June 19,
the Democratic County Committee of
Kent practically inaugurated the cam
paign in this county on Thursday 1t
now remains for this committee to
keep the ball which they have set in
motion, moving. The Importance of
the contest which confronts us, has
been dwelt upon time and again in
these columns, and no voter, who
either reads or thinks, can claim is-
norance of the issues at stake IN our
county battle. In the hands of the
County Committee selected has been
placed the management of the cam
paign. Theirs it is to formulate plans
of operations and see that they are
carried into effect in the best and most
telling manner. Experience, it is said,
is a good teacher, and our committee
will do well to profit by that of the
past. 1t is needless, and perhaps not
advisable just at this time to rake up
publicly the memories of the past
along this line, to point out what are
now admitted to be the mistakes made
especially in the last campaign. That
mistakes were made is acknowledged,
and that most of them were rather of
the omission, then the commission
sort, is also admitted.
There was a supineness and lack Of
energy manifested that even at the
outset Of the battle argued poorly for
victory. 1t is a truth as incontroverti-
bile as established fact can make it
that energetic, bold, capable leaders
infuse a spirit of aggression and con-
fidence into their followers, and that
THE lack of these elements in leaders
will breed a spirit of supineness and
lethargy into the rank and file that no
amount of argument or urging can
overcome when the battle is on.
It is with pleasure we note that in
dicaJions point TO the Inauguration Of
an active, energetic campaign on the
part CT the Democracy of Kent in this
political year. The members of the
County Committee appear to be
thoroughly conversant with the work
that is before them, the Importance of
it, and the necessity that exists for de-
termined intelligent effort. As they
lead so do we honestly believe they
will be followed, and we feel assured
that the voters of the party will do
their full share of the work that is
allotted to them. A campaign of edu-
cation, intelligently conducted in every
part of the county is demanded. Our
principles are such as must attract
and it is only necessary that they be
ably disseminated and kept before the
people persistently. Work of this
character will attract our best and
most available men as candidates fol
the various offices, and guarantee &
ticket that will enlist support. The
work is before us. There's a respon
sibility connected with it that attaches
to every man owing or claiming allie
glance to the Democratic party, tina
must not be shirked Let us go init
the fight determined to win, and as il
the days of old, victory must be ours.

The Populist party met in National
Convention at Sioux Falls, S. D., on
Thursday and unanimously named W.
]. Bryan as their choice for the Presi-
dency. The second place on the ticket
was givn to Charles A. Towne, of
Minnesota. The platform adopted is
broad and sweeping in it's declaration,
and arraigns the policy of the present
National Administration in scathing
terms. A rival organization known as
the Middle-of-the-Roa Populsts met
ait Cincinnati on the same day and
named Wharton Barker of Philadel-
phia, and Ignatius Donnelly of Min

Both Mr.. Spencer and Mr.. Kneeshaw
have been county alto rneys of their re-
spective counties. Mr.. Spencer was also
for one term the attorney general of the
state. Both have therefore made public
records as prosecuting attorneys in GRIM
inal cases, including prohibition cases;
and yet it is stated on good authority
that in spite of such public record, Mr..
Spencer is telling the prohibitionists that
Mr.. Kneeshaw is an Incorporate man,
whose proclivities are against the en-
forcement of the prohibition law. Mr.
Spencer must think that people have
short memories. He will find his error
when the votes are counted. People
don't like to see candidate for judge
retailing dirty stories about his opponent
anyway.
