Evening journal., 1907-10-12
Mr.. pornsy,s Word to DEMOCRATS.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Would you kindly permit an exiled
Delawarean, tentatively residing among
hostile Quakers-space in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL for a few remarks2
wend my way TO Broad street station
every evening TO get the paper that
keeps Wilmington to the front That's
the sore of paper / consider THE
EVENING JOURNAL to be- The one
great mystery to me is how such 81
progressive, up-to-date paper, the
paper of the people, persists in its ad-
hesion to the Republican party--'tis
strange deluson-but I hope THE
EVENING JOU RNAL will eventually
see the error OF its way. In the mean
time every progressive Wilmingtonian,
as well as those sturdy anti-monopoly
men In rural New Castle, Kent and
Sussex read THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL daily, and / can certify by per-
sonal experience that Delawareans in
this town of McNichol, who desire to
secure a copy of THE EVENING
JOURNAL must hustle to Broad street
early or they will be left for THE
EVENING JOURNALS go quickly,
while some other papers-that shall
be nameless-remain on the news
stand
In the editorial columns Of THE
EVENING JOURNAL / read this even
ing, some words of wisdom that should
sink deep into the mental machinery
Of those who pose as leaders Of Della
ware Democracy Shades Of Ceaserl
What leaders? II they are not wreck
ers OF Democracy then they should be
sent out into rural parts TO recup-
crate. ! quote from the editorial of
this evening:
but the Democrats will progress so
far and then they will be halted. When
they seem to be going along and MAX
ing headway the railroad company
pounces upon them and screws down
the lid. In fact, as we have observed
previously the railroad company exer-
cises a benevolent despotism--not so
despotic as il might be because the
company often bows 10 public opinion
over Delaware and we live and have
our political existence under its be-
nign CD influence SO the Democrats
are organizing and getting ready for
the fray and they Will dance to the
railroad companys music'
Right you are. every word as true
as gospel. Look back only a few years
the state, the three counties, the city,
.all Democratic, and now? The Repub-
lican party enjoys the heshpots Why?
There are at least 1000 straight
out Bryan Democrats. Anti-Corpora-
tion Democrats, Anti p. r. r. Demo-
Gratis. who have swept the p. r. r.
Democratic CD lunch hends from the
pie counter and with Poe's Raven they
may we'll sing, Nevermore-and the
.P. r. r. Democratic Palmer & Buck
ner managers talk of Judge Gray as
the Democratic candidate in 1908. Now,
"a word, Judge Gray is a splendid ciu-
zen, scholar, a gentleman, but all Of
those traits characterize Judge Brad
ford or Judge Spruance But neither
Judge Bradford nor Spruanoe are Dem
.ocrats, nor is Judge Gray a Democrat
The Democratic candidates for presi-
dent in 1908 will be w. ]. Bryan If
he lives and desires it. II not Bryan Il
will be "A Democrat of the Bryan
stripe OF IL will be a Roosevelt Re-
publican AT last It begins TO look
as If the people have gotten the plumb
ering trusts. the lawless corporations
and the legislature looters on the run.
Now, a word TO the workers I'm DEM
ocracy Just as long as you permit the
p. r. r, and the Anti-Bryan machine
to run Delaware Democracy you will
wander afar from the pie counter.
Respectfully,
John NJ. Dorney.
