session lasting until evening, the Levy
Court last night voted eight to two to
send all the evidence obtained on the al
legged overcharge cases growing out oil
the arrest and commitment Of tramps, to
Attorney General Robert Ii. Richards
and appointed the investigating Commit
tee, consisting OF Messrs. Hudson. Walker
and Anderson to deliver it personally.
The two members voting against sub
mitting the evidence to the States prose-
cutor, were Hutchins and Harper, both
Republicans. The two Democratic MEM
bers voted to send it up.
"Then your clients do not propose to
return any OF this money to the county,
asked Attorney j. Hail Anderson OF the
Levy Court, after a stormy day i'll the
Levy Court with Thomas G. Frame, c"un'
sci for Ger ain county officers.
"Why certainly not," was Mr.. Frames
reply. ''In the first place, they have
nothing that does not Delmg to them,
and in the second place they would not
refund anything. because that of itself
would be taken as All admission OF
wrong doing. We cannot help you run

GJOD READING FOR BOYS

II is a live and vital problem with
many parents-and should be with all ol
them-to secure the right kind OF litera'
ture for their boys, most of whom sho"
very early a propensity for reading every
thing upon which they can lay their
hands.
Il was for the purpose of meeting this
definite need that there was begun at De-
troit in 1899 the publishing Of periodi'
cal devoted to boys and boys interests.
This was appropriately styled The Ameri,
can B0y-a name now familiar to nearly
everyone.
1t has been the constant aim OF the
publishers to make The american Boy the
best magazine for boys; to make it def
mite influence for good in developing
mind and body; for broadening out and
shaping the character in the mould OF true
manhood. One of their mottoes is,
Make what the boys want and what
their parents want them to have.
To this end The american Boy is edited
with unusual care. Its contributors rank
among the nations able authors; their
articles are helpful and uplifting. Every
issue contains pictures by famous artists,
and regular departments are devoted to
Photography, Collecting, Mechanics and
Electricity, Sports and all "boy hob
bies."
The american Boy is Issued every month
by The Sprague Publishing Company,
Majestic Building, Detroit. Michigan.
The regular subscription price is 81 per
year; sample copy will be mailed to any
address upon receipt of 10c.

FRAUD AT THE PRIMARY

When George G. RothTell, who
had been apparently beaten at
the Democratic Primary in his
candidacy for the nomination as
Coroner appeared before the
County Committee on Thursday
and asked for recount OF the
votes he learned that the old
trick of burning the ballots had
been worked on him. In one dis
trict when the votes were re-
counted Mr.. Rothwell made
a gain of 16 votes reducing the
apparent lead Of Mr.. Collins to
o6.
The excuse offered ', as that it
was not expected there would be
any contests No one had right
to assume this fact. IL is the
plain intent of the Primary Elec-
ton Law that the ballots shall be
preserved until after the County
Committee has officially Can
vassed the vote. The burning
of these ballots is an outrage,
not only upon Mr.. Rothwell but
upon every man who partici-
pated in the election. 1t is, how
ever in accord with many other
instances of irregularity and
fraud in past Democratic Pri-
maries.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Our Democratic friends met in
Dover on last Tuesday and in a
convention Embossed except by
the liquor and railroad influences
named a ticket, and adopted ID
platform. For Governor, R G.
Paynter a physician employed
by the Railroad Company was
selected. For Attorney General,
Andrew G. Gray, counsel for the
Railroad Company was selected.
It is true that Mr.. Gray has the
further distinction Of being the
son of his father. For State
Treasurer T. J. Gray, the Rail
road Company's agent at Bridge.
vile was selected. For Congress
man, Hon. L. 7. Handy, who, un-
til the passage by Congress of
the Rate Bill travelled on pass,
was selected. This nomination
was made in spite of the fact that
J. Frank Ball had received the
unanimous endorsement of the
New Castle County caucus for
the office. But it is extremely
fitting that Mr.. Handy, Della
wares perpetual candid a t e
should begain selected to run
with the National perpetual can
didate Mr.. Bryan. The other
nominees are comparatively un
known.
The platform adopted reminds
US of an old barn, the shingle
roof of which has been repaired
by the insertion of few new
shingles here and there to replace
rotten ones. Someone had evi.
IDENTIFY taken an old one and
where the planks had fallen into
decay, patches we're put on. And
like all jobs of that nature the
result is worse than a crazy quilt
At least, it would drive sane
man crazy to try and get sense
out of it. AS an instance it re-
cites that the Democratic party
is in favor of license in New
Castle County and of no license
in Kent and Sussex.
To achieve this wondrous re
suit kept the delegates scrapp
ing until nine o'clock at night,
and leaves a lot of soreness that
time will not heal. Any possible
chance that the party might
have had, has been deliberately
lsacrifced at the behest Of the
same old railroad and liquor
crowd that has had the party by
the throat these past twelve or
more years.
