les of their party. But it is some
what difficult to understand the mo-
tive of the appeal OF the DemOcfat-
ic League to Democratic voters in
urging that the election for State
Convention delegates shall be free
and open to all, and the recommen-
dalton that the voters OF each dis
trict be given IAN opportunity to
select their delegates at ward meet
ings "or" at the primary election to
be held Sept. 49," Taking the word
'.select" in the sense Of an election,
this advice is contrary to law in one
respect and superhuous in another.
Th Q lists of candidates for county
offices shall be kept open until 10
days before the election. The list
will not close until next Wednesday
But the election must be by ballot
whether there are opposing cand1-
dates OF not. The fact that there
may be no opposition does not per-
nit of the election Of delegates 9th
er than at the primary election,
which has been set for Saturday,
September 18th. 1t is hoped the
appeal of the Democratic League
will result In. directing the attention
of all qualified Democratic voters
to the coming primaries of their
party, and in bringing out cahIi-
dates in every district where there
may be objections to candidates al

WIN. MICHAEL BYRNE says the
Evening Journal is doing all it can
to prevent the nomination Of Ball
by the Union Republicans. In what
ought to be the piping times Of
peace, it is using nothing but wild
and whirliug words. The Journal
retaliates by saying that it is such
an open and palpablo falsehood that
denial is unnecessary. The Journal
wants to see a Republican Con-
gresham elected from Delaware
and it doesn't propose to lend its
effort to elect a Democrat, nor to
help out the ambition Of either Adj
dicks or Byrne. The Journal knows
what the effect will be if the Union
Republicans put on their war paint
and meet the Regulars and insist
on having the men they want for
the county offices. They have
wanted one certain man for [. 5.
Senator and their choice has BE-" Ii
denied them; now they insist Il cy
won't give the Regulars their men
for the county Offices, including the
Congressman. If both factions car
~ out their intentions. the Repuh-
lican candidates, if nominated will
not be elected Thus numerous of
fees will be sacrificed because the
leaders won't bury the hatchet. A
continuation Of this fight will give
the Offices to the Democrats at the
November election.
THE REPUBLICAN is willing to
submit any question the journal
may ask it on the Senatorial ques-
ton to fifty workmOn in our city,
who are, Of course, Republicans.
We know there are hundre L. Of
wantto-wiu Republicans this year
in this city and county. We are
not lighting any one mans personal
ambition or receiving any financial
aid to help any persum's boom along
We want to see two Republicans in
the L. s. Senate, Republican Con-
gresham and every public office in
the State filled by Republicans
Possibly numerous men who fill
these Offices might be Objectionable
personally to Us. but for all that we
hope every Republican voter will
protest against the suicidal polio
of the Republicans, which if kept
up will bury the party for years TO
come.
THERE is growing tendency for
labor and capital to be at variance
with each other The idea is a bad
one, as one Is as esseut lai to the 9th
or as the air to the human body. All
disputes between employer and EN-
plOyee should be amiCahly settled.
There is much unrest among the
working people all over the country
which some persons consider a bad
sign, as 1t porteuds a panic inside a
ayear. We remember the last panic
