Andrew T. Hisey, Of Tana, Making

Pushing the WheeIbarrow.

Eldora.-Andrew Townsend Hisey.
independent candidate for governor,
has started his campaign with q
wheelbarr0w, a load OF tracts and q
platform Of optimism and inverted So
cial and political economies. He Is
tramping from city to town, pushing
the wheelbarrow FUN of campaign lit
erature and scattering the sunshine Of
his philosophy Of brotherly love and
weird politics wherever he can draw
crowd Thus far he has never lacked
audiences.
Hisey is the apostle Of new system
of political economy. Early this sum
mer he thought 1t into a state of per-
lection, and in its completed form calls
it Secular Government" 1t partakes
of exploration and investigation, OF
evolution and eternal justice. Public
ownership is tabooed, competition Is
prescribed for labor and kind word
is spoken for the trust. One plank
of its novel platform touches on indi-
yidual morals and depicts a meta
morphism from vice TO virtue. 1t ad-

The new political economy is out
lined by Hisey as follows:
Secular government stands for good
government; liberal scientific govern
ment, individual national, information
al administration and distribution OF
justice.
Platform of secular government:

DIRECTING Electric Waves.

According to a description OF his ex-
periments given by Mr.. Marconi, the
combining Of the electric waves used in
wireless telegraphy to certain prede-
termined directions is problem ad-
reitting of an easy, if not a complete,
solution. A simple method Is to sub
stitute for the usual vertical antenna
employed as radiator or absorber Of
the waves, straight horizontal con-
ductor, placed at comparatively small
elevation above the surface of the
ground or the water. Experience
shows that the radiation reaches a
maximum in the vertical plane of this
horizontal wire, and gradually dies
out on each side OF 1t. Similarly at
the receiving station the maximum
effect of the waves Is felt in the yerti.
cal plane of the horizontal absorbing
conductor. To attune the transmit
ting ana receiving apparatus. their
conductors are pointed in the same
dl setion.

Republican Ticket
n1DDlzrowz. DEL. SEPT. s, 1908.
HARMONY

II is now in order TO refer to
the slate" Union and Regular
Republicans. After ten years
warfare, some parts of which
were hot enough, the clans met
at Dover on Wednesday and
buried the hatchet. A strong
ticket was named, a plain honest
platform adopted. one state com
Inittee chosen, rules made for
party government, and an en-
blem combining the emblems
of both 'slatep parties. All of
this was done after earnest dis
cussion, involving seyeral"count-
ing of roses but all llharmoniously.
The only roll cali in tine conven-
ton was over the emblem and the
sentiment of the delegates was
overwhelmingly for the combi-
nation.
The record of DIR. Burton in
his one sessions attendance on
Congress was such rs to accord
him the unanimous endorsement
of Sussex County and even to
force the unwilling Mr.. Addicks
to accept the inevitable. Sus,
sex's shoice was of course ap.
proved ia the convention. DR..
Burton's speech of acceptance
was well received and heartily
applaudsd.
Tne slate Union Republicans
of Saesex are entitled to great
credit for so far living up to the
harmony idea as to give State
Treasurer Rawlins a renomina-
ton, in spite of the fact that he
had always opposed them in the
late war. He has measured ap
to the high standard set by his
predecessor, Ms Burris, and
party custom and personal pop
ularity and efficiency we're
stronger than past factional feel
ing.
We are sorry that the same
sentiment did not prevail in Kent,
so that Auditor Dick could have
been re-nominated. But the
nomination belonged to Kent
County and her delegates chose
Thomas G. Roe, who is thorough
ly competent.
The platform is not too long for
every voter to read and contains
enough food for thought to make
q good campaign document. II
comes out fatty for what is CON-
monty known as ''local option, !"
1. e. the right of the voters of
each District to say whether or
not intoxicating liquor shall be
sold in their district. Itcalls for
the proper regulation of weights
and measures, the payment of in.
terest on public moneys when
deposited in any bank and favors
continued improvement of our
public roads. Itcondemns the il
legal use OF money at elections.
With these candidates, stand
ing on this solid platform and
backed by q united party, suc-
cess is assured.
