Major Stofer, OF Washington, who is
famous for his remarkable resemblance
to William j. Bryan, was scheduled to
address the Delaware Editors Asso-
citation at the Hotel Douglass, but he
could not come. This was a disap-
pointment to the knights Of the blue
pencil. They have a large association
and do nbt restrict themselves TOR
membership to any one political faith.
All kinds are included on their roster.
The objects of the association are to
promote mutual interests and 10 ele-
vate the tone OF the journalistic pro
fession. OF course they fight each other
according to their political leanings in
luheir papers, but in the Journalistic
association they are all brethren.

nell and Mr.. James Hughes, the Secre-
tafy Of State Of Delaware, came down

night, and they had night Of it,

men, and some Of them were accom-
panied by their wives. After assemb-
ling at the Douglass House and tran

Mr.. George Carter Of the Evening
Journal, Wilmington, formerly a Phila-
delphia Journalist. represents the Du-
pont wing of the Republican party SO
far as the newspaper interests in the
State are concerned.
When one remembers how steadily
and how bitterly the Delaware Republi-
can factnons have been fighting each
other for, Oh, 50 long it was pleasant to
see these champions abiding III har-
mony by the seaside, living in the same
tent, burying the hatchet in he sand
and smoking the pipe Of peace
Not only this, bur there was theI
marvel OF William Salisbury, OF the
Dover Delawarean, and Frank VI. Jones
or the Sussex journal. Georgetown,
fraters in the same newspaper lodge
and Democrats to the backbone.
In Delaware the State officers from
Governor down will be elected next
November at the same time that Presi- I
