and the placing Of tho large stereopticon
screen so that persons also could stand OF
Shplcy street and sec it, enabled the as-
sembllng of a larger crowd about THE
JOURNAL office than is possible about
any other newspaper office in Whining

manner i'm which tho crowd grew as the
evening progressed. They. could get at
THE EVENING JOURNAL office what
no other newspaper was furnishing in a

THE JOURNAL. also has been roundly
complimented on giving an estimate Of
the Taft majority in Wilmington and in
the State in its early special editions, as
well as a general forecast OF the Legisla-
ture and State and county offices in all
three counties. In the Il o'clock edition
THE JOURNAL in big headlines told
that the Republicans had carried VIII

state had gone Republican by 1000 ma

based on telephone reports from all parts
OF Delaware, is fully justified. Whining

state viii be Republican by about 1000

OF Andrew c. Gray as attorney-general in
its special editions, and estimated his ma.
