Chicago Uninstructed.

The Taft movement in Delaware
was halted at the Republican State
Convention yesterday at Dover. Afte,.
electing six delegates, included
among whom was Hon. Walter O.
Hotfecker of Smyrna, the Convention.
In an emphatic manner killed q
resolution endorsing the Secretary o.
War for the Presidential nomination
and voted to send the Delaware
delegates uninstructed. The resolution.
was engineered by DR.. Caleb R.
Layton Of Georgetown, auditor in the
State Department at Washington.
The endorsement was checked by State
Chairman 7. Coleman Dupont Of,
Wilmington who read a party rule
providing that all resolutions be firsc
referred to the Committee on Resolu~
tions. In his effort to have the
convention endorse Taft, Lavton-
moved that the rules be suspended so
that the resolution might be con-
sidered. This was voted down with
a whoop whereupon Chairman
William S. Hills of Wilmington
declared it out of order. Although
the rules stipulate that nothing shall
be read before presentation to the
Committee on Rule, Chairman Hills
whetted the appetites of the delegates
by reading the Layton resolution.
1t had been formerly presented by DR..
G. Layton Grier of Milford. The
national delegates elected were
New Castle county-Delegate, Governor
Preston Lea and United State Senator
DUPONT; alternates, T. Coleman
Dupont an ex-senator L. Heisler

Ellison: Sussex Couny- -Delegaes.

eX-State Representative John G.
Townsend; Alternates, Charles L.
Moore and Louis A. Drexler.
There was one change in the State
Committee late-Harry Cleaver Of

of the New Castle delegation, to sue
ceed Daniel w. Corbit of Odessa. The

Both Roals Between Smyrna and Clay
ton to be 0lowed and Graded with
Special Attention Given to Drainage
With the opening of good spring
weather, Levy Courtman John 2. Hud
son has started to improve the roaos
around and about Smyrna within his
jurisdiction of Duck Greek Hundred.
Last week the road between Smvrna
and the farm of Levi Anthony was
plOwed and a large force of workmen
are now grading and draining the
roadbed. Mr.. Hudson says that he
purposes giving both roads between
Smyrna and Clayton a thorough over
hauling. When the road from Smvrna
to Clayton via Levi Authonv's is
completed, he will direct the attea-
tion of his men to the road along
the Smyrna Branch Railroad. Special
attention will be given not only to
levellng the roads, but to giving them
proper drainage so that water will
not settle III low and hollow places
heretofore so annoying to the travel
ing public. Levy COurtman Hudson
will see to It that Duck Creek Hun
dred gets its full appropriation and
the money will be expended as far as
possible in the making of good roads.
The work of building permanent
good roads throughout central and
lower Delaware is being entered upon
in earnest by the authorities and the
results Of their work will be watched
with much interest. For every dol
lar the counties raise for this purpose
the State treasury contributes an
equivalent amount in cash. under the
permanent improvement of the public
highways law Some districts raise
the amount by district taxation to
cover the States offer, but Kent
county has raised her amount bv
county taxation, increasing the tax
rate by special levy of five per
centum. The work has encourage
ment and aid enough to be pushed to
a successful conclusion, and insure a
splendid driveway all through
Delaware, for horsemen as well as
auto drivers.

The selection of the place for hole
ing the next session of the Kent

people of Smyrna. Superintendent
j. E. Carroll of the Kent County Pub
lie Schools has notified Principal Bur
dette of the Smyrna Public Schools
that if he can be assured of adequate
accommodations for the teachers, he
will bring the Institute here next
November. Since Smyrna now has
only one hotel, Mr.. Carroll fears that
the teachers will not have accommo-
dations. The Delaware House can
only take so many, and to meet the
case the people of Smyrna will have
to open their homes and board them.
who will do it? Those wishing to
take boarders for the week, will do
well to give their names to Principal
Burdette and the number they can
accommodate. There are between
100 and $50 teachers who will attend
the Institute. Some of these will
probably go to and fro to their homes
daily, but there are about IS or more
who will want board in Smyrna.
Supt. Carroll is now arranging for
his talent and he hopes to give the
people of Smyrna something fine

Truth VS.. FalsehOOd.

Editor Register-From the latter
part of September until the Sth of
October the western part of Iron
county was infested by a band of
demagogues. Their last stand was
at Imboden, the 9Th inst.
This article would not have been
written had it not been that Mr..
Stanfll gave such a glowing ac-
count of the meeting at Imboden.
The meeting at that place was not
so we'll attended as one would
think after reading MI. Stanfll's
report. The large audience Of
which he boasts was composed Of
seventeen legally qualified voters,
five of whom are residents of Rey-
nolds county: A few women and
children attended. The "many
auditors from as far as Belleview'
were all absent except Mr.. Nc
Dowell.
Mr.. Stanfll's argument(?) was
nothing more than a trade agains
the county officials, except Judge
Schmidt who was represented as
being all that is good and pure il
public life. The adding machine
and the dead issue of deposit o
the county funds were dealt witt
in a painstaking way. But thu
most unfair thing of all was Mr.
Stanfll's position on the text
book law. He asserted publicly
that the law gives the count.
court the right to furnish books a
cost, but later he admitted that h
