is meeting in Dover to-day to discuss
ways and means for the success Of
the campaign in the state A straight
middle-of-the-road policy will be ad-
vocated by several of the committed
men and it is likely that an entire
state ticket win be placed before the
public.
That the Prohibition party in Della
ware will this week name an entire
ticket Of its own and make no alli-
ances or deals with any other party or
clique is the significant lesson to be
drawn from the Sussex county conven-
ton.

yesterday and nominated the following
ticket:

Teas; Third district. Or. William +.
Jones; Fifth district, John II. Kelley.

FATE OF DIRECTORS.

G ONE noted high fnanciers Of Chicago will
- probably have to spend long terms in
prison as a result Of the wrecking of the Mlwau-
kee Avenue Bank When President Stensland
returns from Africa he will learn that FIVE OF the
directors of his bank have been indicted for em-
bezzling money from the institution. The sums
they are said to have taken vary from $50 to
$1,000 If they were dealt with as plain thieves
are, for instance, in Delaware, they would rest
behind the prison bars for a few months at least
The directors probably will not be convicted
Their Indictment however, is a wholesome lesson
that in some communities directors are supposed
to direct
The directors of the Philadelphia Real Estate
Trust Company are to escape criminal prosecu-
ton. They have agreed to make good the money
that was stolen by President Nipple and that is
punishment sufficient for them. If tried they
probably would not be convicted and the making
good of the loses is what the depositors and stock
holders most desire.

KNocK-our FoR BossEs.

THE bosses in New York city were raped
4 heavily in the New York primary elections
on Tuesday. The conspiracy among the Re
pubhcans OF the Odell-Quigg stripe to whack
President Roosevelt and decent Republicans was
laid bare and the Oddities met crushing defeat
at the polls. The Odel machine has been one of
the most odious that has ever afflicted State
The Republican voters there were alarmed by
its strength and widespread influence and they
determined to crush it. The Odell machine was
built upon graft and special privileges. 1t ruled
with an iron rod.
It needed the strong hand and able advice OF
the President to administer telling blow to the
ringsters and this was done in the primaries 1t
looks now as though there need be no fear for
the immediate future Of the New York Republi-
cans The battle against Odell was waged for
decency in the Empire State and it has been
won New York newspapers like the Press, the
Mail and others contributed largely to the over
throw OF Odellism But it will take constant ef-
fort to keep the machine down. Bosses are
never whipped in the first round.
In the Democratic primaries a big blow was
dealt the prestige Of Boss c. F. Murphy of Tam
many Hall Murphy won by getting 90 Of the
los delegates small margin for a Tammany
boss who is supposed to be in absolute control of
his party machinery. il was such close cal;

WATCH FOR THE LEGISLATURES.

= ONSIDERING the importance of the IS
- sues involved in the coming election in
this State the registration Saturday, especially
in this city. was rather small. The reports from
the country districts indicate that the qualhca-
ton of voters was not larger than it was in Will
mngton There is only one more day on which
the men can qualify and therefore an immense
amount of work is to be done II anything like
full vote is to be poled.
From the reports Of the registration our opin-
ion that the Democrats may lay down at the
coming election is apparently confirmed When
Salisbury and Kenney gave evidence that they
were about to throw up the sponge, it was GER
tain indication that they regarded the Democratic
situation as practically hopeless No one could
expect vigorous campaign under the proposed
new management of the Democratic party
This early in the campaign it looks as though
the Democrats would be badly beaten at the polls.
Hence the responsibility that rests upon the Re-
pubhcans Hence the reason why Republicans
should exercise the greatest amount OF care to
see that fitting nominations shall be made
throughout the city and county for the Legsla-
ture The Legislature is the objective point to
be considered And it is not so much the cleo
ton of a senator to fill the place OF the present
Senator that is Stirring certain Republican in
fuences but it is something else. The scheme
long ago was hatched to make the corporations
secure in the Legislature. When we speak OF the
corporations we mean the public service bodies
that always have finger in politics for protect
ing" as they call it. their interests
Glance over the field Of Republican candidates
for Legislative honors You don't have to look
far 10 see the Gas Trust looming up with cand-
dates The trolley companies have their minons
on dress parade You could hardly throw stone
without hitting one or more woud-be members
OF the Legislature who represent the railroad in
terests. We cannot blame them If they are
nominated the fault falls upon the people who de-
lberately decide TO send representatives OF the
gas trust and other corporations TO legislate Tor
them.
The corporate influences are working night and
day TO control the situation. In years gone by
they have nominated their men without question
They may do so this time unless the voters real
ize the little game that is being played on them
and thwart it. The gas trust is alert, active and
powerful 1t has been so used to having things its
own way that it doesn't like 10 meet with inter
ference.

SHAKE THE sHAcKLEs OFF.

r VERY magnate of a trolley company looks
IL upon a legislature and government as
something that should owe obesance to the
street railway companies.
For generations the railroad companies OF Del
aware have regarded themselves a syndicate of
Moseses who should give laws to the people And
there is more truth than fiction in the statement
that they have, in a very large measure, been the
law givers Altogether the people have splen-
did opportunity to decide whether we in Della
ware shall be merely vassas Of the public service
corporations or whether they shall act for them
selves And how the corporation agents will
laugh at us should they succeed in packing the
legislative ticket with their tools
They have already secured large number OF
the Democratic nominations and they are plotting
to capture those on the Republican ticket

Save the shad Fisheries.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The suggestion Of the United states
Fish Commission in reference to the de-
creasing run Of shad deserves the most
serious consideration. That commission
has done splendid work. particularly in
the waters Of this state. When 1t began
operations the shad industry in the Della
ware Bay had dwindled to very small pro-
portions. and Ia three or four years It
was increased very nearly to it's normal
condition. The services of the commits
sion have been admirable in many parts
of the country and its suggestions ought
10 be accepted as timely and practical. II
places the blame for the decrease in the
run of shad to the fact that so many of
them are taken on the way TO their
breeding grounds.
The government has had a similar OBJ
ject-lesson in Bering Sea, where the al
fisheries have been reduced to lnslgnih-
cant proportions by the depredations on
the herds while on their way 10 their
breeding grounds at Bribnoff Islands.
While the seal fisheries used to bring
wealth into the governments Golfers and
enrich the company dealing in them, tn y
were not of such moment to the people
as to excite alarm. The shad fisheries are
essentially different. For three or four
months in the year they feed a vast NUM-
ber of people. and for four or hve more
they garnish the tables of the well-to-do
classes. They extend from Florida to New
England and are important TO a number
Of States. The danger with which they
are threatened is probably not confined TO
the Delaware. though 1t is more pro-
nounced here than elsewhere, owing TO
the numerous estuaries of that body Of
water.
There is one FISH commissioner in Del
aware appointed by the Governor every
two years. His duties are not specially
arduous and it might be well for the
Governor TO direct his attention TO this
matter and order a thorough investiga-
tion. The United States Fish Commission
is always glad to give all the information
at its disposal and to aid the local COM
missioners in all reasonable ways. II is
very serious matter. but IL is also ona
which demands fun knowledge OF all the
facts, and 1t may require cooperation on
the part of the states Interested.
Respectfully.

This right consists merely in the privilege of

Kindly give me space to enter a good

have read where people have been fined
for obstructing the sidewalk. It was
almost impossible to walk along the

Grocers and others had stands along
the curb and baskets and boxes were
far out on the pavement. 1t was a
case OF crush through the people who
were trying to pass through the mar
