SHALL THE PRIMARY BE
DISCREDITED:

Irrespective Of the merits of
Mr.. Bailey ; contention that he
l. the rightful Democratic noni-
nee for Acknowledgements Of
this state, the indomitable pluck.
the determined energy, he has
shown, cannot but command ad-
miration from all, to whom cour-
age, whether physical or moral,
makes an appeal. In the face OF
the arrogant ward leaders OF
New Orleans. Mr.. Bailey makes
charges Of fraud in the conduct
ofthe second primary, and IN
deed hurls defiance into their
very teeth, and threatens full ex-
p0s1re Of their methods a-G
m;sdeeds.
Mr.. Bailey commands adnira-
ton. and POSSIBLY public support
as well. He must be sure Of his
facts or he would not make the
statements he does. To d. so
would be rash indeed, and pro
duct.ve Of nothing but discount
Jure and discredit to himself.
Nevertheless. it is on Mr.. Bal
ley's judgment that the pubic
must rely for the present. al
though many facts and INFER
ences are cropping out from day
to day, which tend to confirm all
that Mr.. Bailey claims.
On the other hand. Senator
Lambremont makaS charges Of
fraud at the country polls, but in
view OF his apparent election, he
does NJ. seem ia:..nedt) press
them unless forced to do 50 by
some action inimical to his inter
ests By Mr.. Bailey.
Making allowance for the natu-
raj irritation OF the defeated can
didate as discOunting the disin-
terestedness of his motives, Mr..
Bailey's course is more laudable
than Mr.. Inducements. A true
Democrat is sOlici.OuS of mixing
the party primary honest ard
straight, regardless of how it af-
feet private interests. In this
respect. and for this reason, Mr..
BaiIey's probable action is of far
more import than the outcry of a
disgruntled candidate. The fate
OF the primary itself is involved.
The people will lose faith in it as
an instrument Of party admins
tcation if charges of fraud go
unnoticed and unprOTen. If one
set of Democrats has indeed
played false to another, it should
be revealed beyond doubt and
the matter set right: or if innO-
cent, that also should be known.
for unless the nomination of a
primary be without suspicion of
wrong, the primary becomes an
unsafe and vicious vehicle of par
ty will.
Whether NJ. Bailey or Mr..
Lambrem0nt be comes the nOm;-
nee is of secondary Importance.
The methods of the primary are
on trial, and whether these are
discredited or approved depends
the faith that Democrats will in
future have in the primary itself.
For this reason, We believe the
State Central Committee will,
and should, look into this contrO-
yersy very searchingly, and dis
cover all that his been done
amiss. If this can be arranged
without resort to the courts,

CROWS STARVE
THE REEDIES OUT
Have Eaten All the Seeds, So
GunnerS Get Small
BAGS
"GameY MY Lord. we're the game"

Game? My Lord, we're the game"
Such was the response OF a husky
gunner this morning when he was
asked the success Of his excursion
down the bay after reed and railbirds.
The response was typical OF the
comments of those who have been
around the reed bird centers. except
Port Penn. There is a surprising scar
city of reed and rail birds in Delaware
marshes this year. and those who had
prepared for a profitable season have
been sorely disappointed. A visitor TO
Delaware City yesterday was afforded
a graphic illustration of this scarcity,
when from the side of a trolley short
distance from the town, he found gum
ners sitting on a fence rail for about
80 yards at intervals of a few feet.
Each gunner had his gun ready on his
hip and his fingers twitched for the
sight Of a reedy. But there was not a
bird in sight.
The cause Of the scarcity in the
roedy population is to be attributed to
the crows. The crows have swarmed
into the marshes and eaten all the
seeds on the reeds, thus virtually
starving the reedies and railbirds
away. As a result many reedies have
taken to the cornhelds and are ravag-
ing the corn with heightened appe-
tites.
There has, accordingly, been a big
decrease in the number of gunners
who started out after the birds dur
ing the first week of the season. Even
those, i'm fact, who had the advantage
OF the first week had little success to
report. There have been no record"
bags so far around Wilmington at
least. and there is little likelihood that
there will be this season.
Down at Port Penn the story is diff
ferent. Here gunners have found a
deserving Mecca and the reedies are
being bagged In scores by straight
shots. While by no means as busy
this year as they were in some former
seasons. gunners around Port Penn
have little complaint to make, and the
town has been an attractive point for
many visiting gunners.
