In nearly every state it is the same story Of a

people. Here, in Delaware, we know this only

these lines. The Republicans, on the surface, had
a large majority of members of both houses, but

NO roLERATIoN OF FRAUD.

TIE JOURNAL presumes that the Hon.
i Horace Wilson, who is candidate for re-.
nomination for mayor OF this city and the Hon.
Iohn W. Talley also an aspirant will join heart
ilv in the demand OF the Hon Samuel H. Bay
nard. the other candidate for the nomination IN
the desire expressed by MIR. Baynard for Tree
ballot and fair count at the approaching pri-
mary election. Certainly all the Republican vot-
ers of responsibility want free ballot and a iair
count and they will condemn utterly attempts at
fraud on the part Of any one.
We do not know what grounds there may be
for even a suspicion that fraud will be tried at
the primaries.
Tn view of Baynard's statement it was highly
proper that Chairman Billany of the First Dis
trict Committee should call the attention of the
committeeman to the coming nomination and go
on record in favor of a fair primary Thath col
leagues heartily approved OF the sentiments OF
the chairman was evident from the manner IN
which his appropriate remarks were received.
It is true that some primaries, held by both
the political parties of the state in years gone by
have been tainted with fraud. That day, we be-
lieve. has passed. The Journal stands for an abb
solutely fair. open and free primary election
Every Republican, be he OF high or low station
in life. rich in this worlds goods or poor in ma
terial things. has an inherent right TO aspire for
any public office. And he has the same right
TO demand fair and free primaries.
Several lessons have been taught manipu-
lators OF ballot boxes in this community, and
The Journal believes these lessons are not with
out their effect The sentiment of the city is
FIRMLY against jugglery or frauds or attempts at
political frauds, and the Attorney-General and
the courts stand ready 10 send persons found
guilty Of such practices to Jail. The day OF poit-
ical thuggery as well as political debauchery in
this State has passed or is passing. In few
years at the most, we believe the skirts OF Dela-
ware will have been cleansed of these shameful
crimes We are weary of them.
The Republican primaries must be kept free
Of violation OF the law. Every man must have
an equal chance That is his fundamental right
Those who attempt criminal methods stand in
peril Of an alert prosecuting attorney whose record
for relentless prosecution of these crimes is well
known. Such warning may not be necessary
but it may be well to call attention to the fact
that outrages against the ballot in Delaware must
cease

oovERNoR HUGHES HARD FIGHT.

= OVERNOR HUGHES has. not abandoned
NJ his fight for the removal OF Kelsey, the
insurance commissioner OF New York In fact
the battle has just begun and it involves also,
the struggle between the Governor and the cor
porations that are opposing the public utilities
bill. Sentiment is being thoroughly aroused
mass meetings are being held or will be held in
different cities OF New York and the baking leg
islators will find that the support of the people
is behind the governor in his attempt to carry
out his pledges made previous to his election.
Governor Hughes was the central figure in
the probing Of the insurance scandals of New
York More than any other person he was re-
sponsible for the reforms that have taken place
The governor was competent to Judge what leg
islative enactment is needed to bring about
change in the methods of the large corporations
When, therefore he demanded the removal of
Kelsey he unquestionably had good and suffi-
cient reasons for his action, But for the time
being he has been baked by a combination OF the
corporation Republicans and Democrats the Re
publicans forming minority of the members Of
the legislature who are opposing the governor.
The same contest is on regarding the public
utilities bill which is also before the Legislature
Of the empire state It is designed to regulate the
public service corporations and is in conformity
with the ante-election pledges OF the party Mem
bers favorable to the public service corporations

MEDICINE BY TELEPHONE

Prescribing complicated medicines hv
telephone is a new wrinkle adopted for
some of the buster doctors. II used to
be that people refused to take medi-
cines unless the prescription for the
same had been written out by a ply
sician after a personal talk with the
patient and the prescription was then
taken to the druggist 10 be filled.
Nowadays things have changed. Mr..
Business Man. in his office, finds thes
he is a little out Of sorts and calls up
his physician. lie tell him the trouble.
the physician asks a few questions ana
then says
Tell your druggist 10 cali me up
and I'll give him the prescription"
Mr. Business Man has his office boy
20 call up the druggist and the drug
gist calls uD the doctor. The lattcs
rattles on a prescription. which the
druggists reads back. and few min-
utes later the medicine is on Mr.
Business Mans desk. Neither the doc
tor nor Mr.. Business Man left their
seats. and the while transaction d;d
not occupy Eve minutes of either s
time
