Ever since the sudden advent of Frederick
Eden Bach into the local political arena
there has been much speculation aa to the
real object of his mission, and large num-
Der of people who have been studying the
matter and making Investigations have
come to the conclusion that the prime
object Is 10 secure the election of Anthony
Higgins and some other Republican TO the
United States Senate, If possible. Incl
dentaiiy, he announces that he Ia candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
register of wills, and II looks like q case Of
you help me and ! will help you.'' That
is the friends of Mr.. Higgins and the other
nspirant for Senatorial hpnors referred to
ure expected to help Bach get his nomina-
tion in return for work In their behalf.
II Is regarded as quite natural that Bach
should like to remain in Wilmington, where
he made his home for some time. provided
he can get good. fat job here, and he
II is limited, however. that he is on the safe
side of the fence whether he secures the
| nomination or not that is people who are
In d position to know n thing or two about
| the national administration say they havo
been unable to obtnin any positive evidence
that Bach has resigned his place in the
| postal service, and they believe that IL he
| has resigned his resignation has a string to
| 1t and he can have the place back II he
| wants II.
There 10 evidence on every side that Bach
| Is receiving support at the hands of some OF
j. Edward Addicksi chief lieutenants, which
| looks very significant, and there is also evil
| dence that some of Bach's most active
4 workers are decidedly friendly to the
| aspirations of former Senator Higgins,
i which is also significant, Bach's campaign
| Is being run by what Is known as the
''want-to-win" element of the party. He
| Is receiving some of his greatest assistance
/ from workers whose chief object Is to secure
the election OF Addicks to the Senate. In
fact, he is pretty generally regarded as iha
| Addicks candidate for register of wills, and
\ ii is believed TINT he will get his greatest
strength at the primaries from the Addicks
| faction.
| Both of Bach's opponents, Francis NJ.
Walker of Mill Greek hundred and Howard
g. Ely of Christiana hundred. are Regular
| Republicans, and there is every reason to
believe that they will poll almost the full
strength of the Regulars, while Their will
| also get some of the Union votee, as there
| are Union Republicans, as we'll as Regulars,
| who cay they do not propose to vote for
Bach. Bach Is counting upon some support
| from the Regulars, but 1t iB believed that he
Is oyerestimating his strength In that
| direction, and it Is pretty generally felt
| that he has not the sure thing he thought
he had when he opened his campaign. Re.
| publicans of all brands have been studying
his candidacy and wondering why he gave
| up good government position, as was re-
| ported and came to Delaware to tight for O
place here, and those who have given the
matter consideration have drawn their own
| conclusions and will use their discretion In
\ voting.

WAR IN MATCH TRADE. /,
Germany Said to Have Been Brought to
Ruins Verge by Americans.

Germany Said to Have Been Brought to
Ruins Verge by Americans.
Berlin, Prussia, Sept. 24.-The German
matchmaking business, In which about
$4,000 of capital is invested, has been
brought within measurable distance of ruin
by tine output of the American Diamond
Match Co. q new factories negr Mannheim.
Matches that six months ago were sold
from the German works at so case are
now selling at SIG q case or 81 below the
cost of production by the old. fashioned
process. The Diamond company nses ma
chlnery from the United States. Its German
branch has been in operation i've months,
and II always sells at prices below the offers
made by the old companies.
Forty manufacturers, representing the
entire match industry of Germany, met
here last Sunday and Monday and debated
the situation. Although g8 per cent of the
shares of the German branch Of the
Diamond Match Co. are held In the United
States, the German branch Is differed by
Germans, and j. ID. Stollwerek, chocolate
manufacturer, is chairman OF the company.
Herr Stollwerck applied for admission
to the Observation-Disclosures conference.
Gilbert Bartholomew, a director Of Bryant
q May, Limited, match manufacturers of
England, who revently amalgamated with
the Diamond company. and two other repre-,
senthtives OF tine Diamond company attended
the conference.
Manufacturer after manufacturer declared
that he was disposing OF his goods below
cost, and each speaker attributed the neces-
sity OF so doing TO oyerproduction and the
competition of the Diamond company. The
representatives of the diamond company
saidi that other match manufacturers could
not continue to do business unless they
found a way to obtain machinery as good
as that used by the Diamond.
The possibility Of limiting tho production
of natches was discussed, but the repre-
sentatiyes Of the Diamond company said
ths only limit to their production would be
installed.
The meeting dissolved without having
reached an agreement as TO how the conn
petition of the Diamond company could be
met. 1t Ia probable that from or five of the
larger German manufacturers will make
proposition to DO taken into the Diamond
company.
