Critics declare that Mr.. Cohan has one
Of the strongest casts ever seen in musical

HARLAN AND HoLLlNeswoRrH.

I IMMEDIATELY after the crash In
Il the affairs Of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, efforts were
made by some Of our Wilmington men
OF enterprise to purchase the plant Of
the Harlan & Hollmgsworth Company
and to manage It as local concern.
These efforts failed, and yesterday the
plant went into the hands OF the reor-
ganizers, and VIII i'm future be a part Of
what Is known as the Bethlehem Conn
pany
But in his remarks yesterday, Charles
NJ schwab. who outlined the future
policy Of the plant gave much ground
for encouragement. He was impressed
with the extent and the thorough
equipment Of the plant. and promised
that 1t would be kept busy In the fu-
ture It's location is such that under
proper conditions much work win nat
urally come to it's yards, and its rep
utation as a builder OF certain kinds Of
craft VIII under proper management
keep il busy
Such management seems assured un-
der the control OF David c, Reid. who
has so ably governed its affairs during
its days OF storm ana stress. Mr.
schwab acknowledged the excellence Of
Mr.. Reid's management, and argued for
a brighter future from the fact that i'm
respect to management there viii be
no change.
1t is lntlmated that considerable local
capital viii be invested in the reorgan-
lied company and assurances are given
thar 1t will be conducted largely as an
independent concern. We trust that an
the bright prospects VIII be realized
for the prosperity of this great indus
try means much for the prosperity Of
Wilmington.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

DROGRESS Is being made In secur-
4 ing one county ticket Yesterday
James w. Foster retired as candi-
date for sheriff. leaving Harry /. ellis
unopposed. This insures the election
OF Mr. Gnlis by large majority, as his
worth as an official is known and there
is no question Of his popularity.
Likewise the Union Republican cam
didate for coroner has has withdrawn,
leaving the field to William T. Purks.
It is a pleasure to say that as coroners
run. Mr. Parks is far above the aver
age. Il is only necessary TO ask the
Inelghbors OF the candidate for their
opinion Of his character to realize that
his election win mean that in this Office
that ought to be regarded as import
ant there win be painsiaking and
honest man.
The legislative and levy court tickets
nominated by the Union Republican
primaries have been pulled Off with
the exception Of two or three candi-
dates who are either obstinate or feel
that this is the only nomination that
they are ever likely to get, and are de-
termlned to make the most OF it.
So as matters stand. New Castle
county has been left in the hands Of
the Regular Republicans. Their noml-
nees are the nominees OF all factions,
and these men when elected, whether
good or bad, will represent Regular Re-
publcansm, and determine its stand

Laurel oct. %.
Editor Of The Evening Journal:
There is no disposition upon the part
Of Republicans of Sussex TO let their
enthusiasm for the national and State
ticket to lead them into danger. We
should be very sorry If It did. Mr.. Ad-
dicks has in Kent county two holding
over members of the Legislature, and
he is not likely to elect more than six
other members. In Sussex ne has two
holding over members and is not likely
to elect more than eight others, making
his total strength eighteen. Now if
there is danger that the Republican
nominees from New Castle county will
make pledges that will induce the
friends Of Mr.. Addcks to put in for him
La large contribution, then your word Of
caution is well put We have not
thought there could be any such dan
ger. and have not therefore taken IL
into account in looking over the situa-
tion. but with the New Castle county
nominees as strong for what they were
nominated and expected to be II elected,
there is no condition upon which Mr..
Addicks can base his chances of cleo
tion to the United States Senate. We
have no doubt that Mr. Addicl5s' friends
desire the assurance Of the New Castle
nominees Of their support. If not direct
", by a pledge to go into caucus and
abide by the result. And with this as
surance Mr.. Addlcks could, and per-
haps would, be backed by his friends
with large contribution. But we feel
certain that without this assurance by
the New Castle nominees, and with
only what may be had from Kent and
Sussex, there is and can be no condi-
tion to induce large contribution in
behalf Of Mr. Addlcks, for there would
be no chance Of his election with the
contribution.

FOR A NEW CHARTER.

THE Morning News says very truly
4 that the more astute Democratic
politicians have given up hope of elect
ing a Legislature Of their own persua-
sion, and it continues with the state
ment that All hope Of a new city char
ter Is dead.
We have no doubt that TO the minds
OF many a charter for this city is re-
sarded purely as matter Of politics.
and it is also true that we might have
new charter which would place the
city in a worse condition than it is at
present But It does not require DEM
ocratic success OF defeat to convince
the Wilmington voter that a new char
ter properly drawn is one of the most
important matters for him that the
Legislature can deal with.
The needs Of this city have been
presented again and again. Two years
ago a bill for a new charter was drawn
and presented 10 the Legislature. In
day or two IL was transformed into
a ripper bill. under which those hold
ing office were to be legislated out and
