chine breaking the axle skein on Mr.. Sipple's
car and throwing all its occupants out. For

chauffeur and knows his Cadillac car by heart.
There is much sickness in this neigh borhood
just now due, it is thought, to the changesble
weather. Doctors have all they can do to
look after their patients. Grip is the prevail
ing malady.
On account of the open weather much out
door work is being done by the truck farmers.
Butchering is also occupying the time of

VOTERS ASSISTANTS.

M R. PENNEWlLL, the Republican oandi-
- date for governor who is we'll qualified
for the position, and who is meeting fierce oppo-
stion from certain quarters simply because he is
not known as railroad man is assailed vehe-
menty in connection with the voters assistant
bill
II may be we'll TO recall few facts about this
law. The Australian ballot law was passed by a
Democratic Legislature with the hope that it
would make voting so difficult that many Repub-
lican voters would spoil their ballots thus losing
their votes. il was to prevent the loss of Demo-
cratic votes that the Democrats passed the
voters assistant law of 1901 Finding that the
voters assistant law did not work satisfactorily
to the voters of the Democratic party, the Demo
Gratis repealed the voters assistant law in the
Legislature controlled by the violent methods Of
the Democrats before the Board of Canvass in
Kent county and in Sussex county. The Repub-
licans at a subsequent Legislature, passed the
voters assistant law Just as it was in 1901, for
the reason that the method OF voting was so
much complicated that assistance was needed by
MANY men in casting their ballots.
Complaint has been made that the voters as
sistants are instruments of bribery And vet in
the same breath il has been admitted that Gov
ernor Lea has appointed the best men he could
find TO fill these positions. And he will do so at
the coming election.
Should the Republicans control the next Leg
isature we believe they will give us new form
OF voting and we believe that Mr. Pennewill
with others. will be heartily in favor of a simple
method Of voting The Republican party has
stood for free ballot and fair count in Della
ware Did the Democrats in the past stand for
these things?
The present method of voting with cumbcr-
some ballot, to say the least is a nuisance
But the fact remains that under the present law
assistance is needed This is shown by figures
OF the elections in this city At the fall election
OF 1000 there were 800 defective ballots when
there were voters assistants I'm the city election
OF the following year. when there were no voters
assistants, LOO ballots were thrown out as de-
fective.
