ASK YoURsELF THIS QUESTION.

A FTER all the music and fireworks, the
buster and talk, promises and aocusa.
tons, ox-roasts, special Pullman touring cars 40
speeches day, etc. there is just one plain, sim
pie, FIRST primer question for every workingman,
merchant manufacturer and farmer to ask him
self before he decides for whom he will vote next
Tuesday-Taft or Bryan?
That simple question is this: Under which
candidate as president have the most and best
reason to expect the quickest return of good
times? The answer to that question should de-
eide the vote OF every worldngman and voter. In
deciding that question, it does not matter who is
responsible for the unfavorable times, for it deals
with the future not with the past
To decide the question intelligently you have
only to consider the comparative experience and
qualifications OF the two candidates. and which
one is likely to inspire the more confidence with
the manufacturers and capitalists. If that is
done there can be only one answer to the ques-
ton.
You are an unwise voter if you do not ask
yourself that question, and then vote as your in
telligenoe suggests the answer.

DEATH OF CHARLES F. RUDOLPH.

Il Franklin Rudolph from the business life
of a community is a distinct loss to the city.

miliar figure in the city of Wilmington, and the
mere fact that since the establishment of his
business in Market street, in 1886, up to the time
Of the beginning of his fatal illness in September
II. he had never missed a business day at his
office whenever he was in town, was record
achieved by few men. But this was not all He
was always working for thi uplifting OF his city

which tended toward ultimate good

BRYAN AS A CHECK.

W HEAR it asked "5ow is it possible for
the election OF Bryan to check the re-
turn to prosperity" Trade and commerce is
largely built on confidence. The proportion OF
actual money in circulation to credit given in
trade and business, shows that business is con-
Quoted almost entirely on credit Credit is mere
ly confidence in anothers ability to meet his OBJ
legations.
If, as we believe would be the case those who
have capital for they are the ones who make and
give credit should lack confidence in BRYAN and
his administration, they would refuse to give
credit at the banks. They would fear a condi-
ton Of affairs that would prevent the merchant
and manufacturer from meeting their obliga-
tons
The capitalists, who very rarely take risks
with their money, would say to the manufacturer
and merchant: wait until we see how things are
going The manufacturer would reply that he
couldn't wait and keep his factory running and
3 the merchant would say he couldn't wait and pay
his bills The capitalist can always afford to re-
main firm. If he has no confidence he will give
no credit, with the result that the manufacturer
shuts down his mill.
Is there not in the mind Of very many
voters well-grounded fear that Bryans election
might destroy business confdeneel Then why
take the chance? You don't have to, and the
other road is SO safe

/. If Taft is elected president on
November 3 next, will you guarantee
better times than II Bryan is elected?
2. II the Republican party can do
so much II Taft is elected, why did
they allow the present hard times
while they were In control?
3. AS you cannot blame the present
panic on the Democratic party, why
didn't you continue the prosperous
times and thereby be sure of eIecting
Republican president to succeed
Roosevelt!
?. Yes. Even the most loyal Demo-
crat will admit that Bryan has never
had the confidence Of the American
people. Why has Taft the confidence
Of the American people? Every step
he takes is carefully measured The
people want a man who does things.
Confidence can't do it all, but it will

COUNTY MANAGEMENT.
n HE record OF the management Of I

II HE record Of the management of the New
y Castle County Levy Court, which we print
ed yesterday should be a conclusive answer TO
those who are assailing the Republican control OF
the affairs of this county. Hungered by long abb
sence from the county offices, the Democrats are
making a desperate attempt to elect their candi-
dates for the Levy Court and the county Offices
But they are doomed to defeat.
Every time that the Democrats had con-
troll OF the court their management was marked
by the erossest sort of extravaganza. Part OF the
records Of that extravaganza were burned so that
it is impossible TO get the figures. But the COM
PARSONS made in the review which we printed yes
terday show Republican economy and Democratic
waste
The Republicans when they came into control
of the court after Democratic administration
found deficits to be met and unbusinesslike con-
duct in every direction. II required much labor
TO get things going right but this was done
More Improvements also have been made in
the county by the Republican Levy Court than
were ever made by the Democrats, despite the
fact that during the last few years the Republ-
cans have been occupied in paying debts created
by Democratic extravaganza.
The expenses of the county have been legiti-
n1ately Increasing, but where the money went is
fully set forth. Bonds have been redeemed, ap-
propriations made to the Institutions OF the
county good roads have been built, bridges con-
structed or repaired, and even the cost OF sta
tionery in the Court House offices has been re-
duced. The tax rate has not been increased.
The difference is that the Republicans on the
same tax rate as that used by the Democrats have
not ended the years with deficits.
1t is this admirable all round management of
the affairs of the county that has caused the Re
publcans to remain in control of the county a
control that is so well fixed that the management
Of the Levy Court has not been challenged, ex-
