Vote Sellers and the Campaign:

The Evening Journal on Satur-
day last voiced public opinion,
when it said:
The vote selling element of che
State unquestionably believe that
either the liquor men or the prohi-
bition advocates and probably both
of them, propose to "shell out" and
buy votes at the coming election to
decide whether prohibition shall be
adopted in this State. This disre-
putable element looks upon the
highest duties of citizenship simply
as a means of barter and sale.
While decent citizens are trying to
decide matters according to their
best lights, these fellows prey upon
the community, utterlyignoring any
responsibility for a government of
which they are a part.
1t would seem no words would be
needed to force a crushing out of
these vote sellers. They should be
disfranchised simply because they
are enemies of a society in which
they exercise a potent and may be
controlling force. So far as out
ward indications go, both the IL
cense advocates and the prohibition
lists, through their literature" So
called, and speech-making, have
made appeals to the reason and |
sentiment of voters. They have
tried to discuss the question in a
manner. We trust that
they will deal with the grafters and
vote sellers in the proper manner.
Each side has been under a heavy
expense for legitimate purposes and
should not be subjected to the in
amous extortions of wretches. who
ire permitted to prey upon the State
imply because we lack a healthy
'ublic sentiment needed to destroy
be evil of purchase of voters.

Black Knight, Hector. came to speak for tenn
perance, and asked an audience IN the colored
church. One OF It's members held the key and
refused to open the church, while other mem
bers demanded the key, but he declared that
only fight would cause him TO give It up This
caused indignation on the part of some, and
amusement from others but the larger num-
Der by far was against opening the chuch. No
meeting was held and Hector departed. The
negroes appear to have no use for local option
in this section but profess to be loyal to the

ifthey vote for local option, that the Demor-

side the same story is teld but the facts are
that the negro is not fool enough to believe
such stories, but that he has been coached or
handled bv some Republican In whom he
has all confidence, and will vote accordingly. |

another will vote on this subject there
are many who are saying nothing who
will express themselves at the polls,

the result even in Milford is only
guess Of the individual; and, in that

THB Torsch Packing Company o1
Baltimore opened a branch cannery
here in Milford this year, and asked
farmers to grow many things never
heretohere grown for canneries. In
that part of the business they have
been accommodated, but in the
labor end, they have met a condi-
tion which is disheartening in the
extreme. They had all kinds of
trouble in getting labor to work
steadily during the rush of the to-
mato season, and were compelled
to ship thousands and thousands of
baskets to Baltimore and, now
when the squash season is on-a
period when labar is not especially
rushed-they are unable to get suf-
ficient number of people to work
their cannery here, and are shipping
the squash by train to Baltimore for
canning. The conditions are alarm
ing to employers, and this especial
condition should cause farmers to
study the conditions seriously. Is
it possible, that Delaware farmers
are to be debarred from growing
diversity Of crops by reason oflabor?
Under this condition, is it not time
for the national government to let
down the bars, and permit few
millions of Chimes to settle among
the farmers of the country? When +
abor will not work at any price,
md prevents the spread or growth
# industries, it is time "a some ac-
ion to be taken.

THE Republican State Central
Committee met at Wilmington last
Monday and while in session dis
cussed the present campaign. The
unanimous opinion was, that the
party shall keep hands off. 1t had
fulfilled its pledge to have the ques-
ton submitted to the people, and
would go no further. What indi-
viduals do as individuals, the party
is not to be held responsible for,
and there will be no attempt to in
huence the results from a party
standpoint.
