HEAVY REGISTRATION.

IT HE registration this year is finished, and the
a figures are larger than ever. This fact is
not surprising, as no registration lee was re-
quired this year. and there was a rush of voters
TO qualify Much of the work done in previous
years on the last day was done on the earlier
days this year.
The registration is reported to be satisfactory
10 the Republicans, and there is nothing to indi-
cate that the party will not have its usual major
ity in the city this year. But the workers should
not neglect any opportunity and they should
leave no stone unturned il they want to win
large victory
In all parts OF the State heavy registration IS
reported. and these figures may upset the calcu-
lations of the leaders in the lower counties. The
large registration, however, shows in the man
that there is no real apathy i'll this campaign
The voters arc alive to the issues, as has been at
tested by the attendance at the meetings In
fact large registrations are reported III nearly
every part Of the country except in New York
city. Because of the slight falling OF IN New
York city. the New Workers have cndeavored to
spread the idea Of general apathy throughout the
country.
The local registration lists are large, and the
leaders should carefully scrutinize them to see
that there are no names which do not belong
there.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
Kindly permit me to place before
David J. Reinhardt two questions
which I would like him 10 answer
through THE EVENING JOURNAL;
First: why did you state at the cor
ner OF Delaware avenue and Lincoln
street, while addressing the voters Of
that neighborhood Wednesday evening,
that the Republicans were responsible
for the conviction Of a president of a
Republican Levy Court. when you
know that the credit for that act be-
longs TO the Citizens Association?
Second. Why did you not tell those
others present that a man. elected
by the Republicans 10 the Office
Of county treasurer and tax receiver,
after having defaulted and being ar
rested, was convicted and sent TO
prison?
Yours for the whole truth.

VISIT OF TAFT AND SHERMAN.

THE most notable event in the Republican
n campaign is the visit 0f Mr. Taft this af-
ternoon and the address at the Opera House this
evening by Mr.. Sherman, the candidate of the
party for vice-president Early in the campaign
it was not expected that Delaware would be so
highly honored The visit OF the presidential
candidate, however, comes as a climax OF his
Journey through the Southern States, and is
most appropriate.
The personality OF the two candidates for
president has entered largely into the contest In
fact in the final round up of the campaigT the
important question to be decided will be whether
Mr. Taft or Mr.. Bryan is the better fitted to oc-
cupy the seat in the White House.
Mr.. Bryan has visited Delaware on several oc-
casions, but he has not succeeded in gaining many
recruits to his cause the result OF these trips.
On the other hand, this afternoon will be the
first appearance of Mr.. Taft in this State, and he
is certain to make good impression and to win
votes for the ticket
Mr. Tafts visit through the South has been of
great benefit 70 the party, and doubtless he has
been much pleased with the results. 1t is the
first time that a Republican candidate for presi-
dent has been into the South during the cam
pagn generally because his services were needed
elsewhere. But the Republican candidate this
time in spite of the talk of their being many
doubtful States" has evidently believed that his
election is so we'll assured that he can afford to
take time enough of to devote TO other parts OF
the country as in the Southern States
In Delaware, however Mr.. Taft may feel as
sured that the electoral votes of this State will
fall into his basket Delaware, during the last
dozen years, in proportion to its vote has been
as strongly Republican as Ohio, and most of the
other Republican States, and despite talk to the
contrary there is practically no doubt that Della
ware will be lined up for Taft and Sherman this
year They can carry away with them to-day
assurances that Delaware will not leave the Re
publican column.
The State extends warm welcome to both
candidates to-day, and the Republicans will no
no doubt turn out in great numbers to make the
event most notable.

EASTERN WAR CLOUD.

a LTHOUGH there has been much peace
talk in the East, there is strong opinion
that Turkey and Bulgaria will jump at each
others throat without a formal declaration of
war. The diplomats do not expect an official
declaration of war, and the powers that have
been trying to prevent the outbreak of hostilties
are now endeavoring TO limit the extent of the
war and keep the damage as small as possible
Even the warlike powers that glory in the de
structon OF lives and property are gradually
coming 70 the conclusion that war is not so good
a thing after all and that it is best to have as
little Of it as possible.
The peace rumors, however had their turn this
morning, and it is evident that efforts to prevent
hostilities have not been entirely exhausted
King Ferdinand OF Bulgaria, this morning. ac-
cording to the cable dispatches received a dele
cation from Turkey which wants to end peace
ably the trouble. How different from the old
time Turkey, that was ready to fight at the drop
OF the hat. Evidently the new Turk idea7 is
spreading
Bulgaria has practically been forced to submit
to the negotiations by the other powers, princi-
pally by France, whose activity in the crisis of
Saturday is believed TO have averted for the time
being the beginning of hostilities between Tur-
key and Bulgaria.
Under these conditions Bulgaria is making
show OF engaging in the conference in good faith
Her real purpose, it is recognized, is TO assume
irienohness IN order TO catch Turkey off her
guard and when the oppoTtune moment arrives
Evening journal., 1908-10-19

to throw off her mask grab Macedonia and strike
with ali her might against Turkey.
The Bulgarian spirit is just as high as
ever and any agreement that King Ferdinand
may make that entails an indemnity to Turkey
will be bitterly resisted. Bulgaria is willing,
however, to make a recompense for the Rumean
railway, as told and the denial of which was
never authorized by Ferdinand the cabinet or
the ASSEMBLE. Further than this, it is said, Bull
garia will not go.
