TAFT AND THE SOUTH.

TN PARTS Of the South the nomination OF Taft
Il is regarded with favor. Apparently believing
that the election of Taft is assured, the Atlanta
Constitution says that Georgia would view his
accession to White House with complacency'
All of which brings dsmay into the hearts OF sucn
former Democrats as the New York World, who
have been laborng to nominate at Denver can
didate of the conservative type.
Has the old-time idea of constitutional govern
ment and conservatism departed from the Southf
asks the World. And it answers that the South
has been hot-bed of radicaliSm despite IFS sup
posed devotion to Democratic principles of the
conservative type. Because of this radcalism, this
"Rooseveltism" as the World calls it, in the
South, there has been no consistent pronounced
effort among the Democratic leaders to wrest con-
troll of the Democratic party from Bryan The
South would be satisfied with either Bryan, or
Roosevelt, or Taft.
Indeed it appears that the conservative wing
OF the Democrats has little to build upon in the
South. At one time 1t seemed as it the opposition
10 Bryan would make some progress in the South,
and il would have done so if the leaders of the
Democrats there had not suddenly abandoned
their efforts and acquiesced in the Bryan pro-
gram.
Take Virginia for example. Influential leaders
of the party in the Old Dominion State, such as
Senator Daniel were opposed to the nomination
OF Bryan. and for a moment it looked as if they
would fight out the Bryan question on\the floor
OF the Virginia State Convention. Many nhuen-
tal newspapers of the State thought that the
party had had enough Of Bryan When the test
came, however, the leaders practically laid
down. and a leaderess convention put through
instructions binding the Democratic delegates to
support Bryan
The same thing happened in other Democratic
conventions of the Southern States. They were
not to be lured from Bryan The delegates may
have believed that they did not want repetition
of the Parker campaign, in which much was
promised and nothing done by the conservatives
of the New York section, who were obviously
trying to gain control of both parties.
The probable explanation of the Southern situ-
alton, far as it concerns Bryan is that leaders
like Senator Daniel abandoned the efforts to de-
feat the Nebraskan simply because they believed
that their constituents favored Bryan.

Of insincerity in the cause. Mr.. Houston
has recently answered his critics denying
the charges and saying that he is still in
the fight for the cause Of pure elections.
We are not here to defend Mr.. Houston
but we know from personal knowledge
that he was sincere and active in his
crusade for pure elections two years ago.
and that the cause failed utterly was no
fault of his. And further we believe that
tho editor of the Sussex Republican will
again this year be found making a fight
for cleaner elections.

Platform Fits Him.

New York Tribune.
The Republican platform adopted at Chi
cago yesterday fits the candidate. or per-
haps it would be equally true to say that
the candidate in his personal opinions ex-
actly represents the prevailing sentiment
OF the party. which is doubtless the rea-
son for his success in the convention. lis
ideas on tariff reform, often expressed in
public, precisely coincide with the con-
sensus of the partys opinion. His psi
ton in regard to injunctions, the result
o. his own observation Of the operation sf
the writ while on the bench, and declared
long before he became candidate Cor
the nomination, is the position Of the
majority of the party's representatives
upon this vexed question, and, in general,
platform and candidate represent the
overwhelming sentiment of the party fer
tho continuance OF President Rooseveit's
progressive policies. There is no attempt
to dodge or equivocate, no placing OF a
radical candidate upon a conservative
platform. or what Democrats did feur
years ago, Of a conservative candidate
upon a radical platform. There are no dis.
guises, no efforts TO catch one shade Of
opinion with the candidate and another
with the declaration of principles. The
party enters the field confidently, affirm.
ing it's allegiance to those policies and
doctrines known Of all men which have
made it so wonderfully successful in recent
years.
In nominating William II. Taft for 'he
r esfdency the Republican National Con-
vention has chosen the one man now IN
public life best qualified to succeed Thee
core Roosevelt. More than any other pes
slble nominee, he has been associated with
end committed to the policies Of he
Roosevelt administration, and the hest
Judgment Of the party naturally fixed on
him as Mr.. Roosevelts most acceptable
and logical successor.

REPUBLICAN SOLIDARITY.

o FAR as the general outlook for the Repub-
hcans is concerned, it is better than it was
at the same period during other presidential cam
paigns of the last few years
When Blaine went down to defeat there was
deep dissatisfaction in the party, which dissent
expressed itself before the convention that nomi-
mated Blaine met and broke out with renewed
fury after the nomination
A hard fight, an unsuccessful one, was waeed
against Taft before his nomination, but his
strongest opponents are those who are now offer
ing him their heartiest support.
cannon and Foraker and the rest of that eroup
are IN line for the ticket and will do what they
can to secure its election. And cordial is the
support otLafollette, who represented the ex-
IRENE radical wing of the Republican party being
responsible for the minority platform which was
presented to the Chicago convention
Latolette made his fight and lost but he does
not propose bolt from the ticket such as was
limited at. Indeed the solidarity Of the Republ-
cans has caused great surprise among their op-
ponents who expected much growing after the
convention. The party will be united in the
campaign, the apparent obstacles viii disappear
and as the campaign progresses, the momentum
towards victory will be incfeased.

Prepare For State Fight.
Sussex Republican
After the completion Of the work of
the Republican National Convention, the
Delaware Republicans will turn their at.
tcntion to State and county politics. Al
ready numerous candidates are in The
fed. with prospect of more. It is sup.
posed that the nominees for the Stare
ticket are already fixed, but 1.-The best la.d
plans Of mice and men gang aft glee,
50 IL is possible that complications may
arise that may necessitate a change OF
plans. and states may be arranged and
rearranged before the State Convention
because politicians are always ready to
change their plans II such changes viii
improve the chances Of victory.
While the Republican party OF this
Slate is considered to be united and
harmonious, sim there are a number OF
discordant elements and sufficient dissa'-
isfaction with existing conditions, TO make
It expedient for the party managers 10
harmonic such differences and allay such
dissatisfaction, and Il is likely that such
efforts viii be made. II not. contests are
mere than likely and the outcome IN
certain, because contests for nominate DIS
always complicate the situation and are
settled only by the convention.
These contests involve the distribution
o. nominations to the different counties
and creates rivalry and the residence of
the first person nominated always enec.s
the remaining nominations, as the three
counties insists upon an equal distribution
OF the nominations. SO that, who the State
nominees will be is not yet settled and
may not be until the State Convention Sc
lects the nominees.

A BLAST FROM LAWSON.

M OF for moment does the Hon. Thomas w.
Lawson, of Boston, propose to keep out Of
the spot light He has sent Colonel Bryan a tele-
gram offering to contribute a million or so
to the Democratic fund provided Bryan consents
to take second place on the Democratic ticket and
permit Governor Johnson to be nominated for
president.
We fear that Lawson was not in Delaware long
enough during his recent stay to imbbe Della
ware patriotism If he had been, he would have
substituted the name of our own Judge Gray in
stead OF that of Johnson, and the Gray boom and
Delaware would have shared with Lawson in the
free advertising that the president of the Bay
State Gas Company obtained.
Lawson, however, saw an opportunity. He is
perfectly safe in attempting to bride Bryan to get
off the ticket, because there is no likelihood that
the "Commoner' will retire. The telegram reads
as if it was sent by a fearless and brave man.
judging from the way it sails into things in gen
eral and the plutocrats and manipulators in par
ticular We wonder if some of ex-Chief Dolan's
men were about to guard the magnate while he
wrote the telegram? Perhaps the only damage
done by the hot message was the burning of the
awnings of Lawson's room in the hotel.

Ex-coNFEDERATE WAR SECRETARY

ID RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has long want
ed Southern man in the Cabinet, and it is
not, therefore, surprising that he should have
appointed General Luke L. Wright to succeed
Taft as Secretary of War. Wright is a military
man who has fascinated the President and won
Taft's friendship.
Mr.. Roosevelt doubtless regards the appoint
ment as a personal one, as the appointee has

politics seem TO be in some doubt but he is
classed as a gold Democrat and is presumed to
have voted for Mckinley at the memorable cleo
