TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
Issued by the Committee.
Help as achieve a great victory.

THE DELAWARE CAMPAIGN.

~ 70 stir themselves. They propose to
have meetings in different parts of the county
every night for the remainder of the week begin
ming tomorrow evening The leaders hope to
stir up the voters and bring them TO the polls to
register Such work is needed by the Democrats
unless they want to 60 down to overwhelming
defeat. The Democrats, according to all credit
able reports, are considerably behind in their reg
istraton.
The Republicans will not be asleep while our
Democratic friends are busy. The Republicans
will make every effort to keep the lead at the reg
istraton next Saturday.
There is no reason why the Democratic masses
should be astir Their prospects for success at
the coming election should not be bright, The
Republicans have been in two factions, The
party is now united and is as one. 1t has State
ticket that is thoroughly acceptable to all Repub-
Hcsns and its triumph is generally conceded
The Republican legislative ticket, with here and
there notable exception, is most creditable
One legislative candidate, Mr.. keenan,, who will
represent the most important district in the
State, is a nominee on the most liberal and en-
lishtcned code of principles or platform, if you
may call it, that has ever been presented to the
people Of this State His majority, if such prin-
ciples count for anything, should be most over
wheming. Not Democratic candidate has ex-
pressed himself as free from corporate influences,
as has Mr. Keenan,.
Considered nationally President Roosevelt has
stood for the progressive and soul-stirring ideas
that have won for him the intense affections of
the people and the dire opposition OF the wealth
dominating corporations, the grafters and those
plutocratc forces that regard government as
something 10 be exploited for private gain. The
revolt for better things, the fight on unscrupulous
bossism, the war against dishonesty in high
places are attributable to Mr. Roosevelt more
than 10 any other man.
Approval or rebulxe of the President is an issue
in this election as we'll as our State government
affairs A vote for the Democratic ticket is a
vote for the party as represented by Tom Tag
CART, of Indiana, and "Fingy" Corners the labor
crusher, Of New York.
Even in our county affairs the best interests of
the voters demand the continuance of the Re
publican party in power. Never have the county
offices and the Levy Court been administered
better than they are to-day. These Offices are
conducted honestly and the Republican candi-
oates diC d &udl Aidt bN same mt VI Soil-
duct will be continued. Against the Republican
candidates is a guerilla ticket, backed by the
Democrats, trying to delude the voters into fol
lowing that banner The object of this ticket
should it remain until the polls are closed, is tc
defeat the Republican nominees and turn The
county over to the Democrats. Those who re-
member Democratic control in New Castle county
will not wish to see the scheme succeed.

The settlement of the litigation over
the properties at the West street cross

should be a source Of pleasure TO the
people OF this city for thus is ended
one Of the longest and most bitter
fights the city has ever seen. The
railroad company did not like to give

the holders of the land like to be bull
lied out OF their possessions by any
corporation. However now that the
fight is settled to the satisfaction Of
all, It Is to be hoped the city will bene-
fit. The elevated system will, it is to
be hoped, be rushed through to COM
pletion, and this OF course will give
Wilmington one OF the greatest i'm
provements It has seen in years. The
elevated road should have been COM
pleted long ago, but the trouble over
the land held up its progress. All
should now rejoice that the controversy

WOMEN MAKE PROTEST
AGAINST MORE SALOONS
PROHIBITION CLUB PASSES REso.
LUTIONS

The recent action of the Los Angeles
council in endeavoring to grant more
privileges to the liquor and gambling
interests of this city has called forth
an energetic remonstrance from the
prohibition workers of the locality.
At meeting of the Woman's Pro-
h,bition Party club, held at the new
club room, 175A North Spring street
Thursday afternoon, the following reso-
luton was adopted:
BE 1t resolved, That we, the Prohibi-
ton Party club, i'm regular session held
yesterday in behalf Of the mothers and
wives of this city, declare against the
action of the city council i'm striving to
extend and enlarge the privileges of the
LIQUOR traffic and race track
THE conditions for home-making and
the training of future statesmen are
already deplorable, and 1t is for this
reason that we protest"
The club rooms on Spring street have
been opened recently, and the seventy
five members of the club expect to
make a popular meeting place for all
who wish to use them. AS the presi-
dent, Mrs. Sylvia b. Watson, expressed
II yesterday: 1--WE want the men of this
city to have a place where they can
enjoy themselves and get a drink of
water without going to saloon. We
shall make the rooms cosy and they
will be beautifully furnished, and we
hope that the public will use them
freely"

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The stock
market today gave evidence of sub
sidence of the pressure of liquidation
which was so strongly manifest yester-
day There was a desultory recovery
in prices on a volume of business less
than half that of yesterday.
In the later stages of the trading the
market became practically stagnant
This is one of the various signs that
the strength of the market was not due
to an important re-entry to the market
ON the long side. Stocks which were
weak yesterday were the principal
gamers in today's movement, while
those that offered firm resistance to yes

nowly in the upward turn OF prices TO-
day. The inference suggested is that

cover shorts by the bears for demand
which lifted prices.
