Most Of them are strong, healthy look

Their presence Is a menace to the
safety of women and children left
alone, and the officers should be more
diligent in ridding the town of these
worthless fellows The proper thing
to do is to be on the lookout for tramps,
and as soon as they make their ap-
pearance in town give them notice to
leave at once. If they fail to- do so.

kind of fight that courageous men al
ways show, a fight to the finish all

The Philadelphia Convention will
soon be held and it will then be up to
YOU. The Addicks delegates will not
be seated, and if they then oppose the

would revive a quarrel perhaps among
those to whom he gave offense some
years ago. This is the situation in
New Castle county. OF course Kent
and Sussex counties are to be reckon
ed on in the campaign. If a good
Democrat is nominated. he will un-
doubtedly be elected. The signs I'M
questionably point that way just now
