BRYAN IN DELAWARE.

M r. BRYAN is visiting Delaware to-day, and
\ in a way he returns to his old stamping
ground. Some time before the memorable con-
test of 1906, Mr.. Bryan, then congressman from
Nebraska, addressed a gathering of about fifty
persons in hall in this ctv, his subject being the
free coinage of silver. Then. to local fame, he
was entirely unknown, but even at that time he
had as a congressman made speech on the tariff
question that won for him high praise on the part
of the New York newspapers that have since so
bitterly assailed him.
In 1906 Mr.. Bryan visited Delaware and was IN
truth in the "enemys country" Since then he
has been in Delaware on several occasions, AMI
he has been cordially received He has won for
himself strong hold in the affections of the
masses Of the Democrats not only in Delaware
but LARGELY throughout the East as we'll as in the
West and South and he secured his nomination
through the sheer force Of his personal character
and qualifications for leadership.
Outside of President Roosevelt there is prob
ably no other political leader to-day who has so
large personal following as Mr. Bryan. He was
according TO our notion, the strongest candidate
though his defeat seems assured, no other Demo
crat could have made better fight than Bryan is
doing
The visit Of Mr. Bryan to-day will be his only
appearance in the State and a large crowds no
doubt will attend the meetings in Harrington and
in this city this afternoon and evening.
Mr.. Bryan has, however, long since learned
that the gathering Of masses of people to hear his
oratory is no indication of the support that he will
receive on election day.

ator, deals in a patriotic spirit with
persistent report that President Roosevelt

breaking flights over the Fort Myer
parade ground. Asserting that a trip in his
aeropane is as safe as a trolley ride
nevertheless Mr.> Wright submits that ac-
cidents happen to the best regulated air.
ship, and that slender as the risk may be
of tumble from the blue the President
Of the United States ought not TO expose
himself to it, being in duty bound to pre-
serve himself intact for the benefit of his
people.
We do not think that this view OF the
matter will deter Mr.. Roosevelt, II his
mind is made up, from cutting figures Of 3
in the presence of General J. Franklin
Bell and the General STAFF as the distin'
gulshed shipmate of Mr.. Orville Wright.
Discretion might advise a tentative flight
in the June Bug. but compared with Mr..
Orville Wright's creation the June Bug Is
obscure. The minor aeroplane would not
attract the President If he is resolved
on the venture he will patronize the best
advertised machine.
A nice question might arise on the point
whether Mr.. Fairbanks would be acting
President while Mr.. Roosevelt was in the
air, but we shoiSi say that Mr.. Fair
banks would not be so long as Mr.. Roose-
velts voice could carry to the territory

VICTORY OF HUGHES.

II HE denomination OF Governor Hughes in
y New York was a great victory for clean
politics and an inspiration to those who are work
ing for good government in every State The
governor was bitterly opposed by the bosses, big
and little because he could not be manipulated by
them They dislike him because he rose above
the petty ideas Of the heelers and appealed di-
rectly to the people for support. He stood for
good, honest, clean government, for the regula-
ton of corporations and for the treatment OF all
people alike.
His rejection by the New York convention
would have been a decided step backward and
would have imperilled not only the State ticket
of the Republicans in New York. but also the
national ticket
1t will be recalled that the governor received
half-hearted Endorsement as New Yorks candi-
date for president, and was haltingly presented to
the convention at Chicago. When it was seen
that Taft was to be nominated, the New York
bosses, while not enamored of Taft, preferred
him to Hughes.
But the time Of Hughes came by the logic Of
events, and those fellows who were polSing fun at
him have now been forced to swallow their
medicine. The bosses have had to come 10
Hughes Hughes did not go to them. He has
secured his denomination without raising finger.

The nomination of Hughesl Why possible
Simply because there is large and intelligent in

decency and makes itself felt at the polls. And
that element is growing in New York 1t is a

said at Hot Springs when addressing the citizens
