LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
onnoaod 70 Mr. Ward.

OpFoAcu 10 Mr. WdFus
To The Editor OF The Evening Journal,
As Regular Republican ana one Of the
many hood-wlnked members Of the Roose-
welt Workingmen's club. / want 10 en-
ter protest against the action OF an al
legged meeting Of that club. whereat reso-
lutions were passed advocating the tax
ing down Of the Republican candidate for
Governor DR.. Chandler, and substituting
for him Herbert n. Ward In the first
pace aa member Of the club / never
heard Of any meeting proposed TO be held
to consider the selection of a Regular
Republican candidate for Governor and
/ would like to know IN what way such
"a meeting was called, and how many OF
the alleged two thousand members OF the
club were present. Such an arrangement
as that proposed by the Crozler club
would be infinitely more stulufylng than
it would be for the Regular Republicans
to substitute Conrad for Chandler. As
Herbert n. Ward was Addicks' personal
I choice for Attorney General four years
ago now he would undoubtedly prefer
l
Uniol Republican in Delaware.
The Regular Republicans are not like.y
to be caught In that Addicks-C Crozier web.
II We must have another Addicks' Gov
ernor, for Heavens sake let us take Con-
rad, ana not man 30 close officially and
personally to Addioks as the present At
torney-General. Were this reason not SUI
hcient TO make Mr.. Ward an impossible
candidate on the Republican ticket, it Is
only necessary TO recall the pardon and
liberation OF that Canadian murderer.
Montalyou A. Cole, which was forced
through the Board OF Pardons by the per-
sonal and official influence OF At
torney-General Ward. The release
Of murderer Cole though he
had killnd in cold blood on the streets OF
our city one OF the brightest and most
promising of all our Delaware young men.
and allowing him TO go back TO his home
and rich relatives in Canada with the GER
tihcato bearing the name of the Governor
and great seal Of the State Of Delaware
| that he was pardoned for the terrible
crime he had committed, is scandal that
will live during all OF this generation, and
whenever brought 10 the minds OF the
! people OF Delaware will stir them to the
bitterest action against those responsible
for this most soandalous Of all Of the
scanda'ous pardons appearing on the
records OF the State Of Delaware. Mr.
Ward would not allow his name to be
used in connection with the denomination
for another term Of Attorney-Generai. an
act Of wisdom on his part, and the prob
able cause OF which would have had great
influence with the actual Roosevelt
Worklngmen's Club had he been living
in Delaware long enough TO know some
thing about the circumstances connected
with the pardon Of murderer Cole and the
ineffacable shock caused TO the people
Of Delaware by the astounding action OF
the Attorney-General an that matter

been demanding common primaries In

of the Managing Editor Of one Of the

feeding for the man who depends on
his brain for a living.

Exposition az OK LOUIS
At the time of the Centennial in Phiia-
delpAia, in 1876, the Young Women's
Christian Association, then six years old,
sent out circulars to warn girls against
coming to see the exposition with the
idea OF getting work. Notwithstanding
this, there were hundreds Of girls strand
ed who exhausted their small savings in
three or four days and found no work
how to protect them was ap rob.em
which IS we'll remembered by those who
were managers Of the association at that
time.
Desiring TO meet these conditions, we
make the following suggestions:
See to ii that you have money enough
for an emergency and for your return
home.
See to it that before leaving home
you learn from reliable source that
your destination in St, Louis is a safe
one.
See to it that you accept no directions
from either men or women on trains. If
the conductor any advances made. You

Will FAIRBANKS sPEAK7

A ENCOURAGEMENT has been made
~ that Senator Fairbanks. Vice.
Presidential candidate, accom-
panied by another speaker Of national
repute, is to make two speeches in
Delaware next week under the auspices
OF the Union Republican party. The
announcement of Senator Fairbanks
intention TO speak in Delaware was
FIRST made by Magistrate Bradley inn
mediateiy after the national conven-
tIon; and IN giving the matter to the
press he assured the reporters that the
promise had been made to him per-
sonally.
Now unless something should happen
70 disgust a large mass OF voters the
success OF the national ticket In Della
ware is assured; and as much as the
Republicans OF Delaware would like
10 hear Mr.. Fairbanks, we feel con-
strained TO say that his appearance
under the auspices Of Alice and Brad
ley would not win a vote but would
probably disgust large numbers.
II Senator Fairbanks has really de-
cided to come under the circumstances
announced. the impression the voters
would receive would be that the can
didates acknowledge the Addicks party
In Delaware as the only Republican
party; and that would be disastrous.
We feel sure that Mr.. Fairbanks is
ignorant Of the situation here. He
probably does not know that the party
is in a stage OF transition and reforma-
ton. He may not know that Addicks
no longer a factor and that the
erty is striving for some sort OF an ad-
stment after his elimination. In view
these facts, those who really wish TO
e the vote Of Delaware go to Roose-
II and Fairbanks are fearful Of the
aect of speeches from the latter in
is State under Addicks' auspices.
II Senator Fairbanks or Mr.. Cortel-
lu wishes TO understand the real sem
nent here, it would be well to pom
the returns OF the primary election
d by the Union Republicans in New
tie county on Saturday, when there
but 1900 ~otes cast. We

DHE Milford News has assumed
the role OF one seeking Republi-
can success; It has demanded the
scalps Of all who interfered with this
program Il has insistently demanded
common primaries in the three coun-
ties.
Well, the Regular Republicans ac-
cepted the conditions. Under the ad-
vice OF the State Committee common
primaries were rendered in the three
counties. Yet in face Of this the
Union Republicans Of New Castle
county went through the farce of hold
ing their primaries ON Saturday.
Now according to the primary law
those who voted on Saturday are in
eligible to cast ballot at any subse-
quent primaries, and thus a common
primary is blocked. what does the
News have to say 10 this2 why a
telegram from the editor makes com
mon primaries conditioned on ar
agreement on the State ticket?

counties when you haye agreed to give
