THE DELAWARE LAUNCHED
MID CHEERS AND MUSIC

The battleship Delaware, one of
the biggest ships in Uncle Sam 5
navy, was launched at Newport
News, Virginia, on Saturday morn
ing, February OH, 1909. Breaking a
bottle OF champagne against her
towering PROV, Miss Anne Penne-
Will Cahall of Bridgeville, niece of
Governor Pennewill, said chris
ten thee Delaware and the big ship
slid down the ways. Miss Ellen
Coleman du Pont and Miss Frances
Hazel acted as aids to the sponsor.
Almost drowning the sponsor $
words the cheers Of the crowd rose.
while from every whistle in the ship
yards and the vessels in the harbor
went up a deafening roar. The
bands struck up national airs and
for several minutes the excitement
was intense and everybody was
happy, for the launching was a great
success and went off without hitch
As protest to the recent prOhibi-
tion crusade in this State, liquor
dealers Of Wilmington distributed
5000 miniature bottles of whiskey,
which were smashed against the
Prov OF the Delaware as she slid
down ways. This demonstration
OF protest was one of the oldest
spectacles ever witnessed at any
launching, although its good taste
was criticised by many.
On the forward deck Of the great
fighting machine were held ten
homiug pigeons which at a signal
were set free to carry TO the folks
at home the glad tidings that the
Delaware had been given to Nep-
tune. The birds circled above the
skeleton masts the gigantic boat,
then started in a northeasterly. di-
rectiOn for Delaware
Owing to official business Secre-
tary of the Navy Newberry could
not be present. The Navy Depart
ment was represented by Assistant .
Secretary Herbert L. Satterlee. I'm
mediately after the launching Gov
ernOr Pennewill, Miss Cahall and
the members of the launching party
from Delaware were driven to the
Warwick Hotel, where a luncheon
was spread for them by the ships
builders.
Long before the hour set for the
launching crowds of spectators be-

Hearst Flags
Judge Gaynor
and Tammany
All Three New York Candidates for
Mayor Keep on Jump with
Speeches.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2-An three Of New
York's mayoralty candidates, william p
Hearst. Otto r. Barnard and william J.
caynor. were IN the field again tonight
hammering away with campaign speeches.
with election day but nine days away.
Hearst delivered two speeches IN Brook
Iyn. having crossed the East river for the
first time since the campaign opened.
Barnard, still sticking strictly to business
issues and speaking briefly. addressed seven
mass meetings on the East side. Gaynor
spoke at Long Island City and At Flush
ing.
An attack on Gaynor constituted full a
third Of Hearst's Brooklyn speeches. He
dwelt on the fact that Judge Gaynor had
said In his recent address at Tammanr
hall that he had not been aware Of the
location Of the famous vtgWam before that
evening.
When Judge Gaynor says he Goes not
know where Tammany hall is" said Mr..
Hearst, he is either singularly insincere
OF ~singularly ignorant But 1 can ten you
one thing. Judge Gaynor may not know
where Tammany hal stands. but Tammany
hall knows where Judge Gaynor stands
or they would never have nominated him"
Toward the end OF his address Hearst
disclosed an ambition Of his to add to his
already great string OF newspapers by es-
tablishing one In Brooklyn OF this he
said:
Before my nomination I was Just pre-
pairing to start a newspaper In Brooklyn
to grow with this great borough and fight
for your interests. II I an elected mayor
I shall nave to. Of course. give up this
particular plan, but ] HAL do all 1 can
as mayor to serve YOU"
On the East Side Mr.. Barnard said. in
part:
"Tammany has no genius for government
only for graft I bought a dozen type
writer Ink erasers the other day for IS
cents. while the city Of New York paid
for this identical article with your money
$50 a dozen. The War department Of the
United States government purchased the
same thin Of the same kind for only q
cents a dozen. I am a business rnan. who
expects to beat GaynOr for mayor because
the people are tired Of Tammany hall and
Charley Murphy. Hearsts candidacy is
helping me and he viii come in a cheerful
third"
Barnard prediction that Hearst will
come in third is practically his 9irst refer
ence to the editor during the campaign.
although Hearst has attacked Barnard Bit
terly. Both are heading the same fusion
ticket
