CHAIRMAN DAILY OF THE
''DRYS" CLAIMS VICTORY
He Thinks No-License VIII Garry Sussex Kent and
Rural New Casle-Believes Biggest Fight VIII
Be In the City of Wilmington

eve will carry Sussex county
Kent county and rural New Castle
county fOrlocal option beyond adoub
at the special election Throughout
Delaware on Tuesday, November 5
The indications also are that we will
win in the city Of Wilmington. II
the election shall be conducted hon
estly in Wilmington, local option
will prevail. In any event, we will
give the liquor element the fight of
their lives in that city. The longer
this campaign progresses the more
certain are we of winning. This
prediction is based on existing con-
ditiOns and hard facts, and not on
hearsay."
The above statement was made by
Alexander NJ. DAILY, Of Dover, State
chairman of the Delaware Anti-Li-
cense Committee. Mr.. DAILY was
even more optimistic than his inter
view would indicate He continued ::
"Wilmington will be the battle
ground from now until the day of
election. The liquor men here are
more anxious to have this city re-
main wet than they are for the sue
cess of their cause in the remainder /
of the State. The reason for this is
obvious they hope to get the trade
that will be stopped elsewhere in
Delaware. The reports that come to
me daily from all parts of Delaware
are most encouraging particularly
is this the case since the liquor ele-
ment have begun to hold meetings.
The reactionary effect in Wilmington
has been wonderful.
MAJORITIES CLAIMED.

and Kent counties by major ,

we will carry rural New Castle :

the fight will be more pronounced. \
Within the past week, conditions {

Chairman Daily stated that he Il

The work will not be attempted by in

Therefore it is possible for a man
who has sold his vote to make 5000
if he will furnish the evidence for
the arrest and conviction of the
briber or vote-buyer."
BISHOP MONAGHAN'S
SUPPORT.
A fact of equal importance to the
local optionists is the support peing |
given to their cause by Bishop John |
J. Monaghan of the Catholic diocese
1f Wilmington, which embraces the
entire Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
5inia Peninsula. The Bishop is adj
'ocating the temperance crusade, as
s also Rev. Father Temple, of St.
'auPs Church, in this city, adioin-
ng which the Bishop Monaghan has
lot made any speeches for local op-
ion during the campaign, and it is
lot probable that he will speak on
he subject. c
Father Temple will shortly make i
everal addresses in favor of local Cd
on. He is one of the most elo- L
uent priests in the diocese. s
INSTITUTIONAL PROVISION. a
When the attention of State Chair "
ian DAILY was called to the appar- -
1t injustice of the bill passed by .
lie last Legislature, authorizing the
,ecial election, which stipulates q
at local option shall go into effect =,
lmediately, he stated that this =
rs mandatory because of the word
G Of the Constitution. "Our fun s,
law" said he, "reads that
l eveay district in which there is a
ajOrity against license, no perse
m or corporation shall th.Iealtel IA
or sell spirituous, vim
S or malt liquors, except for med
nal or sacramental purposes, with
said district, etc.
Had the bill given the brewers
d saloonkeepers a stipulated time

have been unconstitutional, The an

CORONER INVESTIGATES
DEATH OF M 'DERMOTT
He Was An Aged Resident OF
Cambridge City.
NO PHYSICIAN WAS CALLED.

James McDermott. one of the Oldest
residents OF Cambridge City. died Mon
day at his home in that city Coroner
A. L. Bramkamp was summoned to in
Festigate the case and reports that the
old man had resided for some time pri-
or TO his death with his daughter. An
ma McDermott. who. DR.. Bramkamp
states, IS not strong mentally.
DR.. Bramkamp says the old mans
death resulted primarily from senility
but that during the brief illness which
resulted in his death Miss McDermott
did not summon medical aid for her
father and the neighbors were not in
formed that he was ill. On the death
of Mr. McDermott his daughter report
ed the fact to an undertaken and the
news of the aged mans unexpected
death spread rapidly about town. Sew
eral neighbors then telephoned Coro-
ner Bramkamp and asked him TO inyes-
tigate the case.

There Will Be Very Little De-
lay in Beginning the
Manufacture of Brick.
STOCK SELLING RAPIDLY.
is TO BE OCCUPIED WAS MADE
BY AN INDIANAPOLIS FIRM BUT
WAS REFUSED.

At the first stockholders meeting oi
company, held Monday night, officers
for the new concern were elected, and
it was announced that the entire CAPT
tai stock of 5000 would be fully
paid. while actual operations will be-
gin at the plant in about. ten days
The first shipment of brick cannot be
made. however, until about thirty days
from the present time.
The brick company has secured con-
troll of the old Mather and Kelsey site
in West Richmond, which is consider
ed one of the best near the city. There
after an examination by an expert last
week, he pronounced the clay from
which the brick will be made. the best
that he had ever seen. The quantity
is also liberal and there is enough
to last, according to predictions. for
ten years with operations at full blast
all the time.
Had Offer for Ground.
The Richmond company was recent
1y offered a considerable amount in
addition to what they had paid for the
site, by an Indianapolis real estate
firm, which wished to turn the proper
ty into lots The offer was not accept
ed but when the clay is exhausted, the
factory will be torn down and the lots
sold 1t is thought at the time the
clay is consumed the entire portion
of the thirty six acres will then be
within the city limits and will com
mand a high price. The stock in the
concern is being sold rapidly, in fact
there is a clamoring for it, as it is be-
lieved that since Richmond has no
other brick manufacturing concern,
the divindends paid by the new con-
cern, no doubt will be large.
Old Machinery Used.
The old machinery used in the
MatherKelsey plant will still be used
in the new factory, as the officers have
received assurances that it is in first
class condition. This does not mean
that new machinery will not be plac-
ed as such will be the case. The eff
forts of the concern will be devoted
to the manufacture of common red
brick at the start. but as business in
creases sand bricks will be manufact-
ured. The output of the factory is
estimated at between six and nine mil
lion yearly, the same being used by
both local and foreign builders.
Officers are chosen.
The officers elected Monday NIGHT
are:
Ebon Louck-president
Richard Sedgwick-vice-pre president.
A d. Gayle-treasurer
Mr. Gayle was also appointed sec
retary until the Office could be filled

day noon it was decided to remove him
TO Reid Memorial hospital SO that an
operation could be performed in the

don't think that there is enough

to warrant an addition to the police

don't think the commissioners should
take such action.
Mayor SehilIinger at this point in
terrupted Mr.. Englebert with the
statement that the police commissions
ers did not have TO consult with the
city officials in regard to increasing
the force or on any other police mat
tiers. The commissioners are only re-
sponsible to the governor. said May

he remarked: This wouldn't be the
case if we had home rule
A Matter of Courtesy.
Councilman Won Pein took a hand
in the debate with the statement that
the city had to pay the police expenses
and that he thought it would at least
be a matter of courtesy on the part of
the commissioners to consult with the
board before it increased the force. Mr..
Bartel asked il there is not a certain
amount appropriated for police expens-
es each year He was told that such
is the case.

He Will Give $4,000 Provid-
ed the People of Richmond
Subscribe $4,000 for the
Same Cause.
COMMITTEE is MUCH
ENCOURAGED I'M WORK.
Proposition Is Accepted and
The Success of the Under
taking Is Now Believed to
Be Fully Assured.

Two members of the Y NJ. c. A
executive committee having occasion
to be in New York City last week on
private business called at the office
of ID. G. Reid TO pay him their re-
spects. The question of the Rich
mond T. NJ C.. A. was brought up and
Mr. Reid expressed himself as being
in sympathy with the enterprise and
was very much interested in the re-
port of the progress of the work to
date. After going over the matter
carefully, in which the need, the
benefits. the cost of the building and
its equipment and the maintenance
of the same were considered, he of
fered to give fifteen thousand dollars
for the cause provided $4,000 addi-
tional is subscribed by the citizens of
Richmond, making the total amount
available, $4,000.
Proposition is Accepted.
These men reported this proposition
to the executive committee at a spec
ial meeting held Monday evening and
it was unanimously decided to accept
Mr. Reid's offer the committee relying
on the loyalty and liberality of this
city. and feels certain that with this
gift success is assured and Richmond
will have what is now its greatest
need for the moral and religious life
of its people. To show the reason
ableness of this conclusion it is only
necessary to look at the results of the
canvass up to the present time. There
are now turned in about 1000 pledges
amounting to s3S.000: three condition
al pledges $500: Mr.. Reid $4,000,
making total of 500. 500, leaving
net amount of about SO 900 unprovid-
ed for. The committee has reason to
believe that there are number of
persons. firms and corporations i'll this
city who have not yet given but who
are in position to. and who will give
literally; some have done something
but will. the committee believes add
to their gifts in order to make the pro-
ject a success.
Duty is Manifest.
The thing to do now is for every
man. woman and child old and young
to help the several committees by Civ
ing cheerfully, literally and prompt
1y. The canvass must close April 80
and let every citizen of Richmond
make it a duty to assist in the cause to
the best of his ability. encourage the
committees and canvassers by volun-
tary subscriptions and aid and Rich
mond will have the very great pleas
ure of seeing reared building that
will be a credit to Richmond from an
architectural standpoint and more
still-from which an Influence will go
out that will be a benefit to the COM
munity whose value no one can esti-
mate, not only for the present gener-
alton but posterity
Richmond's substantial prosperity
will be greatly helped by the success
of this movement and the committee
says 1t must and will not fail
