dwelt at length upon his action and
that Of Secretary Hay IN sending the
petition to the Car OF Russia concern
ing the massacre of the Jews. and he
held that while the petition was not ac-
cepted the facts were laid bare TO the
world and that il to a certain extent
fulfilled It's purpose. The speaker said
he did not intend 20 raise the Jewish
question IN this country but he wanted
the Jewish voters TO know that the Re-
publican party as represented by Roose-
welt was their friend. He called atten-
tion TO the fact that Judge Parker
knowing he would be a candidate for
the Presidency and expecting the jew
ish vote, had never raised his voice In
the matter.
Register OF Wills Frederick Il. Bach
spoke ON State and county conditions
and paid "a tribute TO the present Levy
Court of this county. making a scathing
arraignment OF the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bach began his address by call
ing attention 10 the great deal OF noise
made concerning how the Republican
ticket was made and he said he did not
wish to offer an apology for the manner
in which 1t was made. He said that
one of the characteristics OF the 'ew IS
that ne Is practical and he thought
that was one reason why they admire
President Roosevelt, because he Is prac-
teal and does things. In this connec-
tion he said the Republican ticket was
made by practical men, men who do
things and who elect the ticket. He re-
ferred to the fact that the tickets IN
1898 and 1902 were made the same way
because OF factional differences but that
Notwithstanding this Republican ma
ioritles were rolled up and he predicted
the election Of the Republican ticket at
the coming election in Delaware by q
