YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND IT.

"A CAMPAIGN OF education which will un-
4 doubtcdy set voters to thinking has
been begun by the Initiative and Referendum
League in this State.
The proposition OF government as set forth by
the advocates of the Referendum is now in sue
cessful and satisfactory operation in Switzerland,
Australia, Idaho and Oregon. 1t possesses fea-
tures entirely at variance with the accepted theo-
ries Of government by political parties and its
propositions are worthy Of every earnest citi-
zensl most careful thought
The idea that law can be placed upon the
statute books Of our State which will make here
after every law, or even certain classes of laws,
subject to decision of the people if they so de-
sire it. before such legislation becomes effective
is a new idea to most voters. The further idea
that Legislators by the people can thus be
made to carry out the wishes Of the majority OF
their constituents, whether they personally so
inclined or not is almost revolutionary, and yet
such law is within reason and may be beneh-
cial
Every voter in Delaware will be given the OPP
portunity to study the theory for himself to hear
it expounded by thinking men, and will find in
his mail the literature OF the league so that
there will be no excuse for not having some in
teIhaent reason for voting for or against its
, adoption
The question itself is so far-reaching in its
scope and so revolutionary to all present meth
DDS of conducting our governmental affairs that
no person should remain passive in the matter
Each voter must decide whether he desires this
power to make his laws to be conferred upon him
in the event that his duly elected representative
{atlc 70 do HE .rho1a d,,txy or NOT
The advocates of the Referendum declare that
its adoption means the death knell of bossism and
the emancipation of the people from the rule of
the money bag the political uggeranut and the
scheming corporate corrupter OF legislatures
Give the theory fair, impartial and careful
consideration and then vote for or against its
adoption in this State
Above all things, do not cast it aside and re-
main know-nothing and do-nothing where mat
ters Of such vital import are concerned

UNIONS AND REGULARS NO MORE.

a T DOVER yesterday the Republican har-
n mony convention buried, and we hope be-
yond the possibility of resurrection, the two fac
ticns of the Republican party Of Delaware. The
ceremony was an agreeable one to all Repubh-
cans, both Regulars and Unions These irritat-
ing prefxes are to be no more. The party is
now in the hands and control OF the people. They
and they alone can pick party candidates for pub
lie office The days of the selection of cand-
dates by few men on a committee are past
Thosewh would be candidates must now go be-
fore the people and secure their approval The
fight now is to be not between Uniors and Regu-
lars, but between Republicans m Democrats.
It makes a simple contest, and no powder is to
be wasted in wagng factional battles. The
abandonment of the factions is great advantage
to the party, and if it has wise and careful lead
ershp. its victories should be frequent and com
plete.

new POWER PLANT
NEAR COMPLETION
Current Will Be Furnished to
Many Customers BY the
First Of October

The Wilmington Light, Power and Tele-
phone Company, formerly the Delmarvia
Telephone Company, now has a large
force Of men busy connecting up its GUS
toners for electric light and power and
expects to furnish current by October 1.
The work on the first edition Of the new
electric light and power plant is being
rushed to completion by large force OF
men working both night and day. The
building is under roof; the turbine and
other electrical apparatus have been
placed, and the connecting up Of the tur.
bne and electrical apparatus will require
but short time to complete. The COM
pany completed its outside distributing
system Of cables, wires, poles and trans
formers several weeks ago.
An Up-to- Date Plant.
The electric light and power plant when
completely win be one Of the finest con-
struc,ed plants in the United States.
Several experts from other cities have
visited the plant, and ,their criticisms
have been most favorable. The construc-
tion of the plant has been done under
the supervision of Mr.. j. b. Scott, con-
sulting engineer, who has had a large
experience in electric lighting and elec-
trio railway work. Mr.. Scott recently COM
pleted the large plant for the Maryland
Telephone Company at Baltimore, which
is considered to be one Of the best con-
structed electric light plants in the United
States. The company is securing a very
large amount of business for power. Con-
tracts have been made with several of
the largest manufacturers in Wilmington
for the substitution Of electric power for
steam. Recently the company doubled the
capacity Of its plant, and has now under
consideration. the installation Of a fourth
turbine which will give them a total
capacity Of 5000 X w, the plant be,ng
originally planned for but 1000
Bin Telephone Business.
! Tnc company has recently completed
the extension Of its telephone plant which
/ involved the expenditure of nearly $40
00oThese extensions were made necessary
by the large increase in its telephone busl
MSS 1t is the purpose of the company
to increase its telephone plant to five
thousand subscribers. The large increase
! in subscribers which the company has
made in the last six months. is the result
of the ideal service which can be furnish
ed by the automatic telephone.
