~
Martin Z. Smith, a Democratic
lawyer Of this city, has given up the
practice Of Blackstone, temporarily, tC
follow the insurance business that ht
may obtain political information fcl
the party he represents. From Lis
law library on Market street Mir.
Smith hied himself to New Castle
hundred last week to give figures to
unSuspecting persons in favor Of his
insurance company. From house to
house went this man of letters, law
and insurance in order to make a
block Of his district and tiud out how
many colored men lived in each
house.
Finally his actions became suspic.
ious and when two CoOred men de-
manded to know the name OF the
company Mr.. Smith represented, he
could not give the information. The
Repu bllCan then ycnturcd the opin.
ion that Mr. Smith was canvassiug
in the interest of nobody less than
the Democratic Trick Company for
the election of Democrats The law.
yer seeing that his little game was
blocked, boarded a trolley car and
stopped cauvassng.
An article appeared in an after
noon paper on Saturday to the effect
that Addlcks men are working for
the success Of the Labor ticket IN
New Castle. This is falschood out
of the whole cloth and symbolic Of
the usual fakes sent out from New
Castle. The reverse is the truth.
Democrats are trying to induce Uu-
ion Republicans and Others to vote
the Labor ticket.
The article on Saturday said in
addition 10 other things, the chef
act on the part of the Addicksitcs
that let the cat out Of the bag was
the appearance of some Of the we'll
known Addicks men among working
people who live in the CITY Of New
Castle, advocating the Labor ticket.
A majority of this class are not
working people either. AS a matter
means of support, except few, who
are rcpuIed to have some means.
Why they should take SO much inter
est in the working people all at once
is a mystery to some, while others
feel that they have no difficulty in |
reading the handwriting on the wall.
Similar work is being done in this
city, but it has not been detected 50
readily here as in New Castle, al
though it has been noticeable for
some time.
Those who are sincere in the mat
ter of Labor ticket wonll like to
see the movement succeed, but mono
have been found who can figure out
where it will succeed in any part Of
the county.
i One prominent union labor man
says he would support the ticket if
it had any show of being elected,
but i'll his opinion the movement
was not worked properly. Early in
the campaign he was in favor of
questioning candidates i'll the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties on
matters of special interest to the
working people and supporting only
such candidates as gave favorable
replies, but as this plan was not fol
lowed he cannot see his way clear
to support an Independent move
ment. He says many labor people
feel like he does in regard to the
matter.
1t is known that a prominent
Democrat of this city drafted the
Labor ticket.
Alter Hopping from the Single Tax
coteric this man devised a plan 10
try and weaken the Republican
ranks. To do SO he succeeded in Sc.
curing The cooper alton Of Single
Ink politician OF New Castle.
The Two meet each Monday and
talk over The situation. While max
ing his rounds IN New Castle as a
collector this man avails himself Of
every opportunity to talk for the
Labor ticket.
BY him The Government adminis-
tration is criticised as was that Of the
Martyred Mckinley.
