LOOKS EASY FIR
THE REPUBLICANS
Col. Wilson Will be Elected
Mayor to Succeed Bird
Tomorrow
ENTIRE CITY TICKET LOOKS SAFE

With but one day off from the city
election it looks as though Colonel
Horace Wilson. the Republican candi-
date for mayor, will have a walkover
at the polls tomorrow. Colonel Will
son is one of the most popular citizens
of the city and taking into considera-
ton the fact that the Democrats have
nearly 1000 votes to overcome, judging
from the nominations, and the fact
of Colonel wilson's popularity. it is
safe to say the head of the Republican
ticket viii get a majority of not less
than 1000 votes.
All indications point that the cleo
ton will go that way and If Colonel
Wilson is elected there is no doubt
Whatever but what the entire Repubi
can ticket viii be elected, excepting
few members of City Council.
The new idea of the Democrats put
ting out a platform following the ex-
ample of the large city of Chicago, has
failed to create the desired impression.
The voters will line up tomorrow ao-
cording to their affiliations. The in
dependent voters have for their help
at the polls tomorrow the record of the
Democratic Council since 1895. This
record is such that the Republicans
have every reason to believe that they
viii get the large majority of indie
pendent votes on account of the mis-
erable record made by the Democrats
and other city departments under
Democratic rule.
The Democratic mismanafiement of
municipal affairs has been shown so
plainly that any voter who desires to
vote for the interests of the taxpayers
can do nothing else but stamp his
ticket under the eagle. The city cleo
ton is a matter of practical business
to the taxpayers of Wilmington. They
therefore desire to see the party in
control that will conduct the city af-
fairs in an economical and business
like way.
4 There are many matters pertaining
10 the Democratic administration dur
Ing the past few years which the tax
payers cannot understand. Although
lhe fiscal year of the water department
ended December 81. 1904, no report o.
ihe business Of the department fol
that year has been printed as vet. II
view Of the fact that the deTf frtmen
has been severely criticised of late foi
It's mismanagement of affairs. the tax
payers are asking what is the matte
with the Water Departments repor
Tor 1904.
