and wherever they can have Repub-
leans name stricken off, it is to their
interest to have it done The Evening
Journal has this to say to Mr. Neary:
The outrageous features Of the regis
tration were introduced by the Demo
Gratis and Will be removed by Judge
Spuance.
The Republicans have striven to
make the registration lists honest in
all respects; the declaration that hun
dreds of Republicans are registered il
legally is untrue, and we challenge
Mr.. Neary to substantiate his allega-
tions with proof.
Judge Spruance is a fair and hon
est man, and if such a condition ex-
lists he will redress the grievances Of
the Democrats. We challenge Mr.
Neary to produce his 300 or 400 cases
in court or any considerable number Of
such cases.
They don't exist, and Mr. Neary
knows it, When the result Of Judge
work is summed up it will
be found that ten Democrats went OF
the lists for every one Republican. and
that the registration fraud was perpe-
uated by the Democrats.

THt PASSING OF HAWKINS

John d. Hawkins has been on the
down grade for several years. He be-
gan his unsavory public career by
doing dirty political work for the
Democracy Of Kent county. Governor
Reynolds rewarded him by making
him his secretary Of state. Then he
had an opportunity to make something
and somebody Of himself, but he let
it so. This was followed by episodes
in which worthless checks played an
important part. The developments in
the Dover bank scandal left him under
cloud of suspicion, but the Demo
Gratis stin clung to him and retained
him as chairman OF their county com
mittee, although there were hints tha

and fearless. he will see that the state
gets every dollar of revenue to which
It is entitled. and also that it win get
full value for every dollar expended.
The official incompetency of DR..
Edward Fowler, the present state in
surance commissioner, has brought
home to the people the great impor-
tance of the Office. In these days there
are few persons who do not carry life
or fire insurance or hold stock in
building and loan associations. The
insurance department is intended to
safeguard all these interests and will
do it with a capable and responsible
man holding the position Of commits
sioner Such a person is offered by the
Republicans in Or. George w. Mar
shall, who is deserving Of the votes of
all Republicans.
There no longer is any question
about it. The Republican ticket will
win. It is stronger and better in all
respects than the Democratic ticket,
and stands for political principles
which are nobler and better than those
by the Democratic ma
tonal and state conventions.

In the interest of justice and good
government Judge Spruance can afford
to exercise painstaking care in dispos-
ing Of the many registration appeals
that will be brought before him for
adjustment this week. 1t is believed
that fully 300 names are on the lists
Illegally. If this be true, every one of
them should be stricken of, without
regard for partisan advantage. The
people want an honest registration, a
free and full poll and n fair count.
Based on such conditions they will be
content with the result next Tuesday.

The Evening journal congratulates
the managers Of the Delaware Hospi-
tai upon the unqualified success of
their rummage sale, by which a fund
Of about $1,000 was realized for the
hospitals uses. The institution is a

outcome OF the sale is striking mani
festation of the high public regard in
which the hospital is held.

Chairman Neary, Of the Democratic
County Executive Committee, reminds
us OF the man who snatched a purse
from woman and then ran down the
street, yelling Stop thief stop thief
and pointing frantically ahead Of him
all the while, attempting to dis
tract attention from himself. In an
interview given to a reporter Of the
Philadelphia Times yesterday Mr.
Neary said:
1t is the most outrageous registra-
ton ever perpetrated on the citizens of
Wilmington. While the Republicans
were crying fraud they were register
ing negroes and white men who had no
right 70 register. There is cne house
on Walnut street. between Ninth and

Governor Roosevelt is in the hands
OF the Republican National Committee.
and the Republican State Committee OF
New York, AS they have prepared his
itinerary fer every day this week, It
is not surprising that he should feel
compelled to decline the invitation to
come to Delaware and speak, for il
would be manifestly unfair to break
the schedule already made and an
nounced. But if Delawareans cannot
hear the governor they can do some
thing even better. which is to vote for
him and give him a substantial ma
jority over his Democratic opponent.

Thousands OF dollars have been
spent this year by the Democratic
managers to get their men to come
out and register in the three counties.
Not content with this fragrant viola
tion of the law, they attempted to i'm
port big gang of impersonators and
repeaters into this city to pad the
registration lists. Direct charges have
been made that State Detective Nc
Vey was a party to this scheme, and
yet Governor Tunnel, the supreme
representative of that party of pur-
lty' in Delaware permits McVey to 60
ahead and exercise the duties of the
Office without even calling upon him
for an explanation Of his conduct
McNey receives a substantial

Philadelphia political crooks to pad

was doubly criminal, for he not only
betrayed a public trust but also com
mitted a grave offense against the
law. Let Governor Tunnel act in the
matter at once. Delay in such a case
Is dangerous. especially when the man
accused continues to exercise the office
