Mr.. Bryan says Taft cannot be elect
ed because the Republican platform
on which he stands does not sufficl-
emily indorse the policies of President
Roosevelt. Senator Ben Tillman, on
the other hand, declares that Taft will
be defeated because he represents the
Roosevelt policies and is pledged to
their continuance. Manifestly both
these distinguished Democrats can't
be right, and it will soon be demon
strated fact that they re both wrong.

Philip Werlein, president OF the
New Orleans Progressive Union and
one of the ablest young citizens and
most successful business men of that
city, recently returned from northern
trip and expressed the opinion that the
absolute confidence felt throughout the
north and west in the election of Judge
Taft has been the principal factor in
bringing about revival of business
that presages general advancement
and prosperity. Mr.. Werlein is not
Republican, be 1t understood, but a
jealous Democrat whose name has
been favorably mentioned in connection
with the mayoralty OF his native city
and other positions of political and
civic prominence. If some of our peo-
ple who are so full of the idea that
Col. Bryan stands a good chance of
being elected president would travel
about bit with their eyes and ears
open, as men like Mr.. Werlein do.
they would be very apt to share his
belief that Republican success in No.
vember is assured.

WEDDING LICENSE
MIX-UP AT DOVER
TWO MEN GET LICENSES
TO MARRY SAME WOMAN
Miss Clara Evelyn Russell was Ii
censed to Marry James A Reyn-
Olds, but Weds JIG. Salisbury.


The issuing of licenses to two men
to wed the same woman, the refusal
of the woman to have one of the
men, notwithstanding the fact that
the preacher was at the house ready
to perform the ceremony, have fur
nished Dover with another sensation.
James A. Reynolds, a blind man of
about forty years, on Saturday Sc
cured a license to marry Miss Clara
Evelyn Russell, and on Sunday even
ing Rev. ]. A. Buckson, pastor of
Armory Methodist Church, called to
tie the knot. The bride-to-be had
even dressed for the ceremony, but,
while on her way down stairs, sud-
denly changed her mind and informed
Reynolds that the wedding would not
take place. The preacher, who had
a meeting to attend at his church,
then left the house with the license,
which he still has. On Monday Miss
Russell, accompanied by James C.
Salisbury, of Cheswold, visited the
office of Clerk of the Peace Darby,
and asked for a license to get mar
ried. The clerk hesitated, recalling
that a license had been granted Rey-
nolds to marry Miss Russell but Miss
Russell explained that a mistake had
been made that she had decided to
marry Salisbury rather than Reynolds
and the second license was granted.
When Reynolds learned of this he
appeared before a magistrate and en-
deavored to bring suit for a breach
of promise, but was informed that he
would have to bring action in Su-
perior Court. James C. Salisbury and
Miss Carla Evelyr Russell of Dover,
were married at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. L. Pugh in Leipsic on Mon
day, by Rev. T. C. Frymire, pastor
of the M. E. Church-Dover State
State Sentinel.

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public parallel fact; that
thd stomach is the most vulnerable organ
