CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.

A LTHOUGH they have not very rosy
prospect for success in the coming cam
paign in this State indications are plenty that our
Democratic friends are preparing for a lively con-
test for the more important nominations. new
element enters into the situation this year. The
Temperance people, wisely or unwisely, as one
may Judge, have decided to take part in the cam
paign, and while the license forces have not so
openly proclaimed their plans, it is certain that
they will be in the mix up How this develop
ment will affect the nominations of both parties
remains to be seen, but it is factor that is per-
picking the political leaders and will continue to
agitate them during the campaign.
The problem is how many temperance people
that is, those who voted for prohibition at the
election last November-will permit this ques-
ton to govern their ballots in the coming State
election. The situation was recognized during
the election of delegates to the national conven-
tons OF both parties and therefore, is likely to
complicate our coming State campaign.
Already several Democrats are being consid-
cred for the nomination for governor Mr. Handy
and others think they have found solution by
coming to this city for their candidate They
have named Mr. AIillard f. Davis, an excellent
man. who has made friends wherever he is
known. Former Mayor Charles d. Bird, of this
city, is also mentioned Mr. Bird has tentatively
been candidate for the nomination for governor
ever since his term as mayor of this city.
But while Wilmngtonans might think it de-
SudDle lndl tne CdndlQdte SnOulQ DC taken from
this city, It is tot certain that Sussex county.
would surrender its claim on the nomination. In
Sussex the names of Colonel Mustard and DR.
Paynter have been heard most frequently, while
there is to be a revival OF Mr.. Joseph +. Holland,
of Milford, as candidate The Holland boom
had formidable proportions four years ago. when
one OF its chief supporters was Mr.. Ford.
The third party prohibitionists have plainly in
timated that they would support Mr.. Holland if
he were nominated by the Democrats. But it is
also whispered that Kent county may try to Sc
cure the nomination. The name of William Sauls-
bury, of Dover, is heard, and it will carry weight
from the fact that Mr. Salisbury won his fight
for election as delegate TO the Denver convention.
As to the outcome of the fight much depends
upon s@e forces that will control the Democratic
party as the time for the State convention ap-
proaches. There are indications of an awakening
OF certain Democratic leaders who have been
slumbering during the agitation for the nomina
ton Of Judge Gray for president

Whilst Mr.. Bryan's nomination seems

and keep enthusiastic over II. He will ran
better than any other Democrat. and we

Our belief is that the Democrats Who
were very active in the campaign last
year. had better not be too active This
year. They are mighty good men and their
fight was just and holy. But they were
fighting other Democrats and the wounds
are open. But some of them will bluster
up and cry. "a temperance Democrat has
got to be nominated for Governor" Very
WELL but a man Of high temperate and
moral living ought to do. That is, man
whose personal habits and associations
are exemplary, and who may not have
fought at the head Of the line against his
liquor brethren.
It won't do for the Democrats who
managed and won the anti-liauor hsht
last year. TO settle down on the belief that
to-day is the day Of their visitation and
now or never they must be putting away
hay for themselves It was the great
anti-liquor sentiment Of the public that
carried the election down here last year

Then Vermont and North Carolina are ex-

Assuming these figures approach correctness, it
would seem that shrewd manipulation at Den

DINNER TO
GEN. DUPONT
Representatives of Three
States Gather TO Discuss
Waterways

A fresh impetus was given to the inn
portant plan for chain Of inland WATER
ways along the Atlantic coast at dinner
at the Union League. IN Philadelphia last
night. at which General T. Coleman du
Pont, of Wilmington, member of the Ma
tional Republican Committee and treasur-
er Of the National Drainage Association.
was the guest of honor.
Representatives Of three States. Penn
sylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. join
ed in the gathering. which was in reality
an inland waterways dinner. Congress-
man ]. Hampton Moore. president of The
Atlantic Inland Waterways Association,
presided, and all of the speeches bore
upon the topic Of the evening, each Of
those present pledging himself anew to
the work Of promoting the cause OF the
chain of canals.
In introducing General dupont. Mr..
Moore said:
In these days of agitation for better
things for our respective cities and states
we must take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity General dupont is one of the
forceful men Of our nelghboring State of
Delaware. He is interested as we OF
Philadelphia are, in the deepening Of ,he
Delaware river and in the completion Of
an inland chain of waterways along the
entire Atlantic coast"
General DUPONT in the course OF MS
address, said in part:
Delaware is intensely interested in all
movements which tend TO the deepening
OF waterways and the conservation Of our
natural resources. We have a small s.ate.
but busy one. Our interests are akin 10
those of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
and 1t is expedient that we should move
together TO promote the general welfare.
The deepening OF our rivers and har-
bors is allied TO the reclamation of swamp
lands to the preservation Of our forests
and to many other problems that now CON.
front the country. I am pleased to be
counted among those who are willing 10
cooperate with the efforts now nelng
put forth to develop the transportation
facilities Of the country and to give pro-
htable employment to capital and labor
through these great public works.

Last March 1t was stated that reduction would
be made because of the slump in business but so
much objection was heard that the company
finally concluded to postpone the proposed reduc-
ton in the hope that business would brighten and
the same rate of wages could be paid. It is now
said that business has somewhat revived and the
reduction will not be made. And If a Southern
railroad finds it unnecessary to lower wages, re-
duetions by companies in other parts of the coun-
try where traffic normally is much larger than in
the South should be improbable

CANDIDATES WILL BE HEARD FROM

AFT as presidential candidate will not be
backward in interpreting the Republican
platform. The views of Taft the man on the
ticket, will have more weight than the mere dec
laration OF the Chicago platform.
During the canvass for the nomination at Chi
eago there was disposition on the part of Mr.
TAFT to avoid an expression Of opinion on differ
ent public questions.
Assuming that Bryan is the Democratic candi-
date, the campaign will not be one in which the
candidates are voceless. AS talking machine.
Bryan has already started in to assa the Repub-
means, hrmly convinced that his own nomination
IS assured even before the convention meets
A recent friendly criticism of BRYAN was that
he talked too much 1t was pointed out that had
Bryan returned from Europe and kept quiet.
rarely stating his views, he would have been
stronger before the country than he is. But it
would have been well nigh impossible to muzzle
Bryan. Talk IS his second nature
1t is not to be expected that Taft will be as
voluble as Bryan. When the Republican cand-
date speaks it will be to the point, but with his
Democratic opponent constantly talking the Re-
publican nominee will be heard from more fire.
quently than if his opponent were some other
candidate than Bryan. The important issues of
the campaign will develop as the speeches of the
candidates are heard.
