ut is an imperial message to

Roosevelt has struck the note of

So the London Daily Mail fifty
characterizes Theodore Roose-

the American people. For that
spirit is indeed Imperial, not in
the later and debased sense of the
word, but in its original and
noble sense.
The founders of the American
republic had the confidence of
prophetic insight and outsight in
the futureofItheir country. They
had absolute faith that the prin-
cipals of government which, under
Divine Providence, they had
formulated deserved to guide all
mankind. They foresaw that
this government of the people
would be truly ''imperial"-that
its people would be Imperial" il
that they would lead all mankind
forward to greater freedom anc
| higher achievement and would
carry to all mankind "the gospe
of hope and triumphant endeav

Was Received To-day

Wilmingtonians, through the efforts OF
the Evening Journal We're given the news
Of the election I'm this State quicker and

ever before In the history OF the city.
That the people appreciated the elaborate

them with the returns was apparent by
the large crowds that congregated around
the office during the evening
Preparations for getting the returns
had been made a number OF days in adj
vance and by this means the Journal sue
oeeded in giving the public the result Of
the election In advance of an other pa
pers. The returns from many OF the dis
tricts were received shortly after the polls
were closed and announced TO the crowd
by the megaphone and by a powerful
stereOpticon.
The manner IN which the Journal re-
ceived the returns was more elaborate
than was ever before attempted by any
newspaper In Delaware. The returns
from the city districts were brought In by
special messengers, who had been en-
gagged TO do that work. These messen-
gers We're at the polls when the count was
concluded and Immediately rushed to the
office with the result
The returns from rural districts In New
/ Castle county were telegTaphcd or tele
phoucd In and by this Arrangement tn,
news from rural New Castle was received
ana given out practically as early as the
] city returns.
In receiving the returns from the tw,
lower counties the Journal was far ahea,
OF all other local papers. In addition e
the regular correspondents arrangement
had also been made with many other per-
sons throughout Kent and Sussex who
wired and telephoned the returns as soon
as they We're known. Dispatches from
down the State as early as . o'clock gave
I iuUin0f fiuug of how things were uUIUf
there. and these dispatches were an.

Mr.. Byrne Talks

Mr.. Byrne in his interview said:
The returns are sufficient TO show that
Republican sentiment In Delaware ls
about equally divided between the two
factions. Union and Regular, and because
OF the palpabe folly Of continuing our
intcrparty strife the Republican members
OF the Legislature ought TO agree on Sem
ators-one Mr. Addicks who Is the en-
thusiastic choice of the Union Republi-
cans. the other, Dr. Ban, whose splendid
vote for Congress shows that the Regu-
lars would be glad TO see him a member
Of the United States Senate. Let us lay
aside bitterness, elect two Senators and
stand pat for the great fight TO elect
Roosevelt IN 1904 My large vote gratihes
me and / still believe that in the vote cast
for Dr. Bail there are thousands who
would be glad TO see our party strife
ended by electing Mr.. Addicls Senator.

Thou. with thy simple, tuneful lay,
Hast wound charm about mine
heart
From thy supreme, enchanting sway,
Which gently, softly bids me stay,
Could never tear myself apart
Twas with thine own endeared refrain
A mothers love lured me to sleep,
Though tears flowed yelling in its
train.
My mother sangl and them there came
Child's slumber blest, in innocence
deep.
Thy voice around the linden rings
From revel joyous in even's light,
The ardent woOer his sweetheart sings,
The wand'rer to the breezes filings
The song the soldier huns by night.

In foreign cline find my rest

United Mine Workers of America be-
gan their first formal session, Wednes-

that met in Scranton two weeks ago

object of the meeting is to go over
the entire situation and outline and
adopt new plans Of campaign that
may be found necessary. The most
important matter for consideration is
the proposition to call out the en-

is looked on by the mine workers Of

will be most carefully considered be-

care to antagonize the mine owners

the officials still have hopes of an
amicable settlement and they do not
think it wise to anger the mine own
