SHOULD BALK FRAUDS.

URRENT reports of the registration on Sat-
- urday confirm the statements frequently
made Of late that there irregularities in the
Fourth Legislative district at the primary and in
dicste that an effort will be made 10 carry the
district for the Democratic candidate by the same
means or even worse than are alleged to have been
employed at the primaries This district should
be subjected to inquiry on the party of the state
authorities.
There are rumors of illegal registration of vot-
ers in the district and the Republican committee
may be depended upon TO bak any effort to have
the illegally registered voters cast their ballots on
election day. The reports about the Fourth dis
trict and rumors that are flying around about
other districts show that the Democrats may en-
ploy desperate methods TO win the election, and
that the howl about Republican corruption is
means employed to throw the Republicans who will
be on the watch for Democratic irregularities off
the scent But il will fail OF its purpose
II is high time that should have a clean cleo
tion in Delaware aud those who try TO make il
otherwise should be prosecuted to the fullest ex-
tent of the law.

LICENSE IN THE CAMPAIGN.

HE JOURNAL quite agrees with It's evening
contemporary in deprecating the fact that
the liquor question either directly or indirectly
has entered into the present campaign and that
il is two edge sword which cuts both ways
In rural New Castle county vote is to be
taken on the question of license or no-license
and that question is sure TO complicate the cleo
fion Of members Of the Legislature. Judging by
the reports in the newspapers in the lower
ties and from other information the wet" or
dry" issue is as much talked about as any other
subject and an effort is making TO line up the
legislative candidates those lines. No doubt
TO a large number of voters, because of the per-
sona interests involved and other matters, license
is the issue of supreme Importance in this cam
paign. National or State politics cut little or no
figure when this problem is involved.
This city is not free from the agitation, for it
has been injected into the campaign in the
Fourth Legislative district and is certain to cause
trouble. In this city especially those who have
for regret. So far the city is concerned license
should not be involved
Just how the election will be influenced by this
apparently ever present topic of course cannot be
ascertaned until the votes counted but il is
causing those who think other matters are inn
portant great deal OF annoyance All of this
could have been avoided, had the Legislature made
a provision that there should be a local option elec-
ton at stated intervals. Such action would have
removed the license problem from ordinary cam
pagns.
The next Legislature should make some provi-
sion TO prevent the continual agitation over IL
cense from becoming permanent nuisance.
