CITY ELECTION.

L does not look as il the present municipal
a campaign will be a thriller The Re
pubcans had small vote at their primaries
and the Democrats had a still smaller one The
vote at the primaries is usually an indication Of
the total on election day. Judging by the bal
lots cast at the two primary elections, the Re
pubicans will win by the normal majority.
There is, however. little evidence of enthusiasm
on either side. The campaign may warm up as
II proceeds, but the situation will have to change
very much if there is to be large vote on cleo
ton day
The people this year do not seem to be much
interested in politics. Even the personal element
is not stirring them to any large extent. Actual
questions Of policy, as shown by referendum
elections in other states, do not seriously arouse
the voters. II is only when the personal candi-
dates come before the voters that there is a po-
liucal stir. But the local primaries this wear
show that even the personal side of it has failed
TO bring out as many voters should be ex-
pected.
The fact of the matter appears TO be that the
Republicans are in control, and although there
has been some criticism of municipal matters,
there is no probability that with the Democrats
managing the affairs of the city things would
be better Therefore the voters will argue that
there is no use putting out the Republicans.
AS the matter now stands the party which has
the most active workers will win. II is not
question OF whether there arc more Republicans
than Democrats in Wilmington. but whether
more Republicans than Democrats take the
trouble to cast their ballots on election day.
Although the contest is local, it has some bear
ing on the political struggle of next year. A
defeat of the Republicans of Wilmington might
threaten the prospects OF the party remaining in
hrm control OF the State at the next election.

WOMEN CAUSE OF
POLITICAL MIDDLE
Wives Put Vetoes on Plans of
Three Mayoralty Possibili-
ties in New Haven.

New Haven, Conn.,. Sept. 2S.-The
wives of three prominent men Of this
city will play a prominent part in the
coming city election, and if the republic
cans lose they can attribute their de-
feat to Mrs. Rollin S. Woodruff, wife OF
the former governor of the state; Mrs.
Eli Whitney and Mrs. A. Mcclellan
Mathewson, whose husbands were prac-
tically decided upon to carry the re-
publican standard on October 4.
When the party began the consider
alton of candidates for mayor the first
choice was Mr.. Woodruff. He was will
ing for a time. but changed his mind,
saying that his business demanded his
entire attention. That was not the
cause, however. 1t was Mrs. Woodruff
who vetoed the project.
The second choice was Eli Whitney.
and Mr.. Whitney vas not averse to
give his services to the city as its chief
magistrate.
But just when things were centering
upon him Mrs. Whitney, who does not
care to see her husband burdened with
the responsibility of public office, inter-
vened. Another veto and Mr.. Whitney
was out.
The third possibility was Judge
Mathewson, who was willing to head
h call of his party, but Mrs. Mathew
SON didn't agree. Still another veto and
h Judge did not attempt to override
h adverse decision of his wife. He
stepped Off the stage and now the party
is at a loss to know who to nominate,
with the convention only four days of.

Hipsh charges that for two years his

dentally Intervening a telegram from
Shonts TO Mrs. H1psh. Hipsh. left his
wife last summer and started to sue

rate suit. He claims that through de-

Shonts declined to be interviewed
about the case. His lawyer said that
tShonts only knew the lady slightly and
that there was absolutely no ground for
such a suit. He intimated that, if there
was any man, in the case at all, it was
some other man, and that Shonts was
the victim of a mistaken identity.
Shonts married his wife in Iowa,
lived there many years and was gen.
eral manager of the Central Iowa road

COWNIE ELIGIBLE
TO Be CANDIDATE
FOR ~COVERNORSHIP
Board of Control Law Does Not
Bar Him From Making Race
for CAROLS Place.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 2S.-Is Hon.
John Cownie of the state board of on
troll prohibited from becoming a candi-
date for governor under the law? This
is a question that is being asked by
politicians who remember that the
board of control law avs something
about a member not being eligible to
any office for a year after his term.
III there is any restriction against Mr..
Cownie becoming a candidate for gov-
ernor it is probably in the primary
election law rather than in the board
of control law, though there are law
yers who believe that even the primary
election law does moi BAR him from be-
coming a candidate If he resigns his
office on the board of control before the
last of next, December.
The section in the board of control
law is in about the middle of section
2727A2 of the supplement- of the code,
and reads as follows:
N member of the board of control
shall be eligible to any other lucrative
office in the state during his term of
service or for one year thereafter, or to
any position in any state institution
during the term for which he was APP
pointed, nor within one year after his
term shall have expired"
Will He Resign?
If Mr.. Cownie was a candidate and
should be nominated and elected gov
ernor he would enter on his duties the
first of January. 1911, which is more
than one year away. The term to
which Mr.. Cownie is appointed expires
April 6, 1910. Lawyers point out that
he could not accept a position in any
state institution till one year after
April s, 1910, which is the term for
which he is appointed, but as to ac-
cepting any Office in the state the re-
striction is within one year after the
termination of his service and his serv-
ice would end when he resigned and
his resignation took effect.
But there is a provision in the pri-
mary election law that says a candi-
date must make affidavit that he lis
eligible to the Office to which he as
pires. Some lawyers construe this lit
orally and say at the time when under
the primary law he would have to
make the affidavit he would not be ELI
gible and hence could not make the
affidavit though he would be eligible
when the time arrived for him to step
into h governors chair. Other law
yers do not construe it so literally.
They say the intent" Of the law would
be satisfied and that Cownie could
easily and without question resign now
and be q candidate for governor

that the ashes We're still on the
cigar, none of the ash having
been dislodged. and in this con-
dftion he laid 1t on a shelf. To-
day the cigar is in exactly the
same condition, and no amount
of handling has divorced the ash
es from the stub. To all intents
