fourth plank in the Democratic state
platform would warrant such an act:
We favor a new system for the regis
tration of voters and believe that in
the place of biennial registration the
registration should be permanent in
character, so that a voter once regis
tered may be continued on the list Of
qualified voters without again appear
ing before the registrar unless he
moves to a new voting precinct. The
list Of registered voters should be re-
vised every two years by the addition
of names Of new voters and the strik-
ing OFF of those who have died. re-
moved or become disqualified. In this
connection we favor the abolition of
the registration fee OF one dollar, which
has proved an unsatisfactory and un-
necessary tax. We believe in making
the approach to the ballot-box free and
unobstructed to all good citizens.
The present registration law was
framed by Democrats and passed By

Good roads advocates are not fool
ed by the buncombe contained in the
Democratic state platform. They know
who their friends are. Whenever a
bill designed to improve the condition
Of our public roads has gone to Dover
II has been drawn by Republicans, en-
dorsed by Republicans and killed OF
smothered in committee by Democrats.
The present disgraceful road system
in our state is the result of long years
OF Democratic legislation and admin
istration. If we are to have good
roads they must come through the
agency Of the Republican party. The
plank in the Democratic platform is
not put there with any idea Of making
roads, but with the sole idea Of making
votes. Many Democrats, especially
among men who ride wheels, are dis
gusted with their party for its repeated
refusals to do anything to give us a
road system in keeping with the re-
quiremonts Of modern travel, and have
announced their intention of support
ing the Republican legislative ticket

plank in the state platform the Demo
ocratic managers hope to hold these
in line until after the cleo

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Fruits Of a Wrangle


From Georgetown Sussex Republican.
The Democratic party in Convention
assembled ON Tuesday last, labored,
struggled, fused and quarreled and
succeeded in disappointing the voters
generally including themselves. With
a few exceptions the ticket is very
weak.
Ford, the candidate for governor,
will be objectionable to the Protestant
voter because he is a Catholic. Not
withstanding this weakness he will
make a formidable candidate because
Of his energy and persistency. He is a
hustler and will make a lively cam
paign. He has plenty of money and
win not hesitate to use it freely for le-
gitimate campaign expenses.
Peter l.. Cooper, the nominee for At
toTney-GeneTal is the strongest nomi-
nation on the ticket and it is a de-
served recognition Of the ability with
which he has fielled the office Of Dep
uty Attorney
The Sussex end of the ticket is locat-
ed in one particular little corner Of
Sussex county, but the equilibrium Of
the county will not be affected by
weight OF ability at that particular
spot. There is the usual number Of
disappointed politicians who were will
ing that the nominations should come
their way, who after their blood has
cooled will be whooping it up for the
whole ticket. Although a weak ticket
in a point OF ability, the respective
nominees are active and we must ex-
pect a hustling campaign and the Re
publican party will have no walkover
even if united against this common
foe. gc t4iis&l,ilasls q ~
