NESBIT TALKS
TO MERCHANTS
Tells the Mercantile ASSOCia-
Of the Initiative and
Referendum
GOOD ATTENDANCE PRESENT

Before a largely attended meeting OF
the Mercantile Association last night
IN the Board OF Trade rooms c. #. Nes-
bit Of Washington, D. c.. delivered an
address upon the Initiative and Refer
endum.
MT. Nesbit was hurriedly summoned
from Washington. to take the place OF
Robert G.. ogden Of Baltimore. who
was to have spoken on the same subject
hut who was taken M and could not
come.
Mr. Nesbit Is an authority upon the
Initiative and Referendum. and his re-
marks were listened TO ON the whole
with much attention. He said In part;
THE Initiative and Referendum is a
big name for a very simple proposi-
ton. I sometimes believe that the
name hurts the proposition. II is sim
ply that we return to absolute rule by
the people.
The Importance OF this rule by the
PEOPLE has long been recognized. It
began 10 grow I'm this country in 177e.
spread to France a few years later and
was followed by the Napoleonic wars.
II means the death knell Of the theory
that God gave 20 one OF two men and
their heirs the right 70 rule their fell
low human beings. IL meant the begin
ming OF the principle that government
derives its just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed. This was ana Is
best enunciated IN our declaration OF
Independence.
But today we are fast leaving that
theory and our present form OF govern
ment is at least al Washington Sov-
ernment without doubt, and II the
American nation would cease to exist
tomorrow II would take It's place IN
history as the greatest government that
the world has ever seen, still II has
come 10 be a fact that certain govern
ment measures are passed because z

shout to have them passed
Now an government exercises out
I two great powers-the power OF th'
sword and the power OF the purse. The

KENTS FOLITECS
IN BAD SHAPE
specIal 70 The EvenIne journal


DOVER. oct. IA general shake-up
is taking place among the Republican
leaders Of Kent county ami such
threats have been made Of ticket cut
ting and the complete overthrow Of
the Republican county and legislative
tickets that a general reorganization
OF the party and a reformation OF a
county ticket is expected before next
Monday.
The friends of Senator Alice. who
resent the unseatlng Of their Leipsic
delegation and the forcing OF a ticket
upon them by unit rule without giving
them the privilege of bailoting for the
county officers have served notice upon
the Senator that, no matter what may
be his attitude o. how hard he may
work for the success OF the Republican
ticket, they will not support Il. TIL,
Democrats are said to be preparing
charges against three men on the
county ticket for the purpose Of dis
crediting the ticket, and placing the IN.
formation in the hands OF Henry
Ridgely, president OF the Dover Anti
Bribery League and. through him to
Attorney-General Richards.

day notified him that they would fall in
and labor hard for the Republican
victory il two Of thes tx county Offices
were allotted to the faction which show
ed equal strength with the dominant
faction at the beginning and later on
during the convention. 1t is said that
the offices the Alice men will demand
are sheriff. and recorder OF deeds, al
lowing tn anti-Allee men to hold the
nominations OF clerk Of peace. register
in chancery. county treasurer and
coroner.
Edward W. Jenkins. nominee for
county treasurer. has asked 70 be re-
moved or be allowed to withdraw from
the ticket. There is some speculation
as to whether Mr.. jenkins does not
want the office or fears for the success
of the ticket under the existing oircum-
stances.
