SOUEALS

When a man is plnched, literally or
hguratlvely. he squeals. Usually he
squeals himself; on rare occasions he
squells by proxy. The Dover Della
warean apparently Is the proxy for
Willard Salisbury, Jr. one OF the Will
mington aspirants for senatorial
honors at the hands OF the Democratic
party. IL does not make one squeal
but three. One squeal is that OF a full
grown man; the two others are the
squeals OF a child. What is the use
OF sQuealing? Let us look at the facts.
There are two newspapers down the
state which represent the political as
pirations OF Mr. Salisbury. One is the
Dover Delawarean; the other the
Smyrna Call. 1t is their duty
to give their readers as much local
news and Salisbury editorial as they
can read. They are performing their
duty. From a purely Salisbury point Of
view no fault can be found with them.
They are doing their work In a legiti-
mate manner in the main. but at times
they wander away from the lines OF
truth and founder terribly.
To begin with, we challenge this as
seTtion made by the Dover Delawarean;
Hardly has the detonation OF the
first gun fired in Delaware's campaign
ceased reverberating, ere We find the
batteries Of the Republican press, with
out regard TO creed, sect, faction or de-
gree of servitude belching forth anathe-
mas against the name of Salisbury.
Against Mr.. Willard Salisbury are
these attacks just now directed.
There has been no attack made on
Willard Salisbury, Jr.. by the Repub-
lican press OF Delaware Whatever at
tacks Mr.. Salisbury has had to meet
have come from within his own party.
Republican newspapers have written
some Democratic history in which Mr..
Salisbury has figured. but II was strict
ly impartial and a mere recital Of facts.
There has been no abuse, no Islander,
no vituperation. We understand the at
titude OF the Dover Delawarean. It's
editorials speak for themselves In one
column it praises United States SEN
ator Kenney, and gives a column and
a-half OF praise TO Salisbury In other
/ columns. But we fail to see anything
relating to Former Attorney-G General
John Biggs, Former Representative l.
Irving Handy and several other Demo
Gratis Of prominence and character who
aspire TO the senatorship. 10 this q
coincidence, OF does it imply that Mr.
Salisbury and Senator Kenney hav,
formed an alliance. offensive and de

One day in the year is particularly
sacred TO members OF the Grand Army
OF the Republic. It is that day which
they devote to doing reverence to their
dead comrades in arms. While every
year reduces the number OF the mem
bers OF the Grand Army, the inroads
made by time seem only to intensity
the desire to spread flowers and plant
flags over the mounds which mark the
resting places OF the country's brave
defenders. Here in Delaware this
spirit especially is marked, and we arc
not surprised that the old soldiers
should plan to make this May 80 a day
