THE PEOPLE RULE.
Enormous Majority at wilmin gton.
Del, Against Corporation Rule.

WILMINGTON, DEL June 2, 'O1.
There occurred here Yesterday one
of the most noticeable elections ever
held in any American city. The initi-
ative and referendum had been incor-
porated in the Wilmington city char
ter, and yesterday the people gave a
remarkable demonstration of what
they can and will do with these new
Instruments of popular government.
The advocates of the initiative and
referendum heretofore have been com
PEELED to 60 to Switzerland or Oregon
or Grand Rapids, Mich, for object
lessons. Now this idea of direct leg.
islation has invaded the east and the
capital city of Delaware is its latest
and boldest exponent.
Wilmington is Republican city
and Republican Mayor was elected
yesterday. The total votes cast for
candidates was 10000. Besides elect
ing a Republican Mayor the people
of Wilmington decided FIVE measures
which had been placed on the ballot
by initiative petitions.
The questions voted upon and the
ballots cast we're as follows:
Shall the city have complete home
rule ? $500 yes, 800 no.
Shall separate assessments be made
of land and buildings? 1900 yes,
1000 no.
Shall collectors and assessors be re-
quired to give bond 2? s,5O0yes, 500 no
Shall new public accounting sys-
tenn be adopted? $500 yes, 500 no.
Shall the street car company be
compelled to give better service
5000 yes, 800 no.
"The Republic of America shall be
ruled by the people and not by corpo
rations." With the determination
New York City is about to see created
startling powers of government to be
exercised through a commission ap
pointed by the Governor of Albany.
Wilmington is likewise determined
that the people shall rule, but hei
method is the reverse of the New
York plan.
The people have said; "We viii

This line Is about twelve miles nearer the
mouth of the river than that established by
the Virginia act of 1900 and Is about twen-
ty-fve miles from the mouth of the Poto-
mac river. 1t is said that oysters are plen-
tiful in the designated portion, and opinions
differ as to whether they usually grow to
marketable size not.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Mary

committee of the Virginia legislature, the
latter body apparently passed over the ses-
sion of 1906 without passing the similar act
necessary for the validity of the Maryland

this, and 1t will be brought to the attention
