THE county nominations have
been made in New Castle county
by a direct vote of the people as to
who they desire to have represent
them in both Legislature and the
Levy Court, and they have named
a strong, clean ticket of represen-
tative republicans. What will the
delegates of Kent and Sussex
county do at their county conven-
tions? Will they name strong,
clean men who will think for the
best interests of the people2 Or,
will they name men for the legisla-
ture and Levy Courts who will be
the tools of those who place them
in positions of honor? The people
will never come into their own
until they adopt the Crawford Sys-
TEN of nominating their tickets.
Now the local leader or manipula-
tor has the real power to name who
shall, or shall not go to either the
Legislature, the Levy Courts, or
fill the county offices. by having
named men as delegates to conven-
tons who will do their work in it
sessions. The time is at hand for
the change and the people are
ready for it.

IT is not to be supposed for a
moment that Frank H. Davis, who
was duly and fairly nominated by
the Republican State Convention
as its candidate for Attorney Gen
eral, will come off the ticket simply
because those who opposed his
nomination say that he is untitled
and not a suitable man for that
most important Office. Mr.. Davis
would be a poltroon to resign I'M
der fire, and by such an act would
confirm to the world as facts, the
charges his enemies are making
against him. One thing is sure +;
viz; that Frank H. Davis name.
will remain on the ticket, and those
who bolt that or any other part of
the ticket, have the same privilege
that they had in 1896. Mr.. Davis
was not our choice for Attorney
General, but the party nominated
him, and we have faith to believe
that Mr.. Davis will discharge the
duties he will take oath to perform,
to the utermost of his ability. At
torney General Richards is entitled
to support the nominations, or to
oppose them from the standpoint of
IN individual of the republican
sarty. He is an able lawyer and |

By a vote of eight to two the
Kent County Levy Court last Tues
day placed the report Of its investi-
eating committee in the hands OF
the Attorney General for his action.
The report as finally made makes
grave charges against the sheriff,
a county employee, a Justice of-the-
Peace and one or two others, and
if these charges be true, then the
Republican Party of Kent County
through the action of the Levy
Court will be able to purge itself Of
men who have betrayed the trust
placed in them but, on the other
hand, should it be that the charges
are without foundation, then as
honest officials and good citizens it
is due that their fair fame be pro-
claimed to the people. We have
not seen the report and know moth
ing of the facts, but on the ground
of justice and fairness to all, we be-
lieve that the act of the Levy Court
last Tuesday is the only proper So
luton of the situation. Let justice
be done; no fear that it will hurt
the party in any way.

credit to himself and the state but,
when he was nominated by two

country and smaller towns, which are not
included in the itinerary of the presiden-
tial candidate, will thus be afforded an
opportunity to observe democracys lead
er in action
The motion pictures show the arrival OF
Mr. Bryan at the railroad station and his
progress in an open carriage through the
streets of Chicago to the Auditorium
hotel Chicago's mounted police who
headed the parade, prominent democrats
and labor leaders, and marching bodies of
organized labor are shown in the pictures.
From the balcony of the hotel Mr.. Bryan
can be plainly seen reviewing the Labor
Day parade, and greeting the thousands
of workers in line. The pictures give a
fine view of the tremendous crowds that
greeted the presidential candidate in Chi
cago on that holiday After the motion
pictures excellent reproductions of Bryan
and Kern are thrown upon the canvas.
The purpose of these motion pictures is to
attract the masses to meetings which are
to be followed by regular speeches This
new department has been established with
r. E. Morningstar of Kentucky as CHER.
Mr. Morningstar is an experienced lee
ture bureau man.
Vice Presidential Candidate John w.
Kern viewed the initial performance of
the motion pictures and declared the same
to be a clever innovation.

accounts by the legislative department.
Another reason Is on account of the ty-
rannical rule of the speaker, and the ne
cessity for change of management Wnlch
can only be brought about through
change of party control Another element
amongst republicans favors democratic
House because they feel assured that the
present regime in Congress will in no way
carry out the reform policies of Roose-
welt that can be avoided, and this belief
is based upon the past action of the ma
1ority in the House. Tariff reformers
among republicans do not believe they
can secure any proper adjustment OF
tariff rates while the present speaker
names the ways and means committee
and controls the policy of the House.
These various reasons are urged in
addition to those which ordinarily divide
parties There is this year a general ten
dency toward the acceptance of the demo-
cratic position. Mr.. Bryan is stronger
with the people than ever before, and this
has an important bearing upon the con-
Rressional elections, and will be helpful
in securing a change of party manage
ment in the House"
