HEAVY REGISTRATION.

HE figures of the first day OF registration
last Saturday, show that a surprisingly
large number OF men have already qualified so
as to be ready to cast their ballots in November
1t may be that the number of registrations pre-
sages an intense interest in the coming cam
pagn, but the more probable explanation is that
the absence of fee required for registration
has had the effect of bringing out an unusual
number OF citizens on the first day 1t is a good
plan to register early, and hundreds of men have
SO registered
With this increase in the registration on the
hrst day, the election officers will have to be on
their guard TO prevent illegal registration The
law against illegal registration should be prompt
ly enforced in every instance of suspected illegal
registration. AT the local option election it was
felt by some that the registration was out of
proportion to the estimated number OF voters in
the city.
With the absence of the fee there promises to
be a much larger vote than ever-that is to be
Nexpected-one of the chief duties OF the election
oticers viii be to see that no more persons are
qualified than the population of the city would
indicate the vote to be-

nor shall come from Sussex county, and as we
understand this agreement is to be kept by New
Castle county, the Governor will be debarred
from another nomination. Whether he be nomi-
mated or not, the Governors administration will
go down in history as creditable.
The Star writer thinks that the governor,
among other things, should have stood out
against railroad exactions" No doubt in the
lower counties there has been considerable feel
ing over the shelving of the cars" and other
railroad matters. But this criticism by The Star
writer could be applied to other political leaders
in Delaware as we'll as to the Governor. In fact,
we don't see why the Governor is especially
called upon to lead a crusade Of railroad batting.
We don't believe he will do it,
If there is any individual political leader in
Delaware of either party who has stood out
against the alleged exactons, past and present. Of
the railroad companies, he has, according to our
observations, not lifted his vote above a whis-
per.

A DIscoRpANT NOTE.

nEMOCRATIC GLASSES, in the Sunday
Star, strikes discordant note in the ex-
pressons OF commendaton of the administration
OF Governor Lea which have lately been heard
The Star writer says that the Governor when
elected, came out at the tail OF the ticket which
ne was supposed to lead There is, however, a
satisfactory explanation of that result The gov
ernor was placed upon the ticket by the commit
tees after DR.. Joseph H. Chandler, against his
own wishes, had been hauled down. The eSi-
gencies OF the situation, the party leaders
thought, required that new candidate should be
named, and 1t was only-natural that this action
should be resented by some voters The effects
OF their resentment were felt by the governor in
the voting. Those who have been proclaiminp
for the denomination of the Governor probably
ieel confident that if nominated the Governor,
free from the handicap we have mentioned. would
prove himself strong candidate
Unfortunately for the boomers of the COVER

It has been reported that President Roosevelt
was opposed to the nomination of Governor
Hughes to be chief magistrate of the Empire
State. If this were true it would bring Joy to the
hearts OF Timothy Woodruff and the other lead
ers of New York, who want to prevent
Hughes from getting denomination. In fact,
they gave. the impression that the President was
opposed to Hughes's denomination But it now
turns out that both Taft and Roosevelt favor a
denomination for the governor. OF course they
will not interfere directly in the matter but their
opinion will have great weight in settling the
question

Horse Knooks Man Down.

A frightened horse yesterday after
noon got beyond control of its driver
and before it could be pulled up had
run into and knocked down Louis San
zone. an Italian push cart man. Tue
accident occurred at Maple and
Franklin streets and the horse became
frightened by the cart which the Ital-

the wagon to which the animal was
attached ran over the Italians leg and
injured him so badly that he had to
be taken to his home at 51S Tatnall

The promoters of the New Castle County Fair
are laboring energetically to make the coming

their labors will be amply rewarded. All thines

could be expected. There seems to be little doubt
that the fair will become permanent fixture in

The natural irritation which those Who

at the obstinate manner in which

OF course It is wrong 1or any one TO
