By "Hclland."

Against not a few of our former

been made that they were not alto

Against no other diplomat was this
charge made In such high station as

NEW CITY CHARTER.

M ANY Wilmington Democrats are keenly dsap-
- pointed because the State Convention said
nothing about new charter for Wilmington
Perhaps the Democratic leaders considered thar
the proposed new charter for Wilmington was a
local question: but the Republican convention real
ling the great Importance Of the subject 10 the
citizens Of this city, boldly announced itself in
favor of a city charter
The failure Of the Democrats to take I'D the
question leads 10 the belief that the Democrats
are opposed TO new city charter and that the
friends of the movement need expect no help
from them
1t this is the correct view the situation is un-
fortunate for friends of new charter because
every vote possible will be needed to secure il
from the members of the incoming legislature
The failure of the Democrats to consider the mat
ter is all the more peculiar because the chief news
paper OF the Democrats only recently proclaimed
that partisan administration of municipal affairs in
Wilmington has proved TO be a failure
There is OF course considerable objection among
certain politicians to a new charter or TO anv

ton, and yet to the unbiased citizen the conclu-
sion is inevitable that f Wilmington is TO make
the progress that she should make. she must
get out OF the swaddng clothes in which her civ
government is enveoped
Regardless of political reasons The Journal re-
grets that the Democratic convention did not sneak
on this point bait voters who thoroughly believe
that the city should have new charter. should
vote for the Republican legislative candidates And
al the same time the Board of Trade shou1d no,
relax its efforts TO have the charter question thor

NOT A STRONG CANDIDATE.

WE CANNOT see how Former Attorney Cen
w eral White will prove a Strong candidate
for Congress the Democratic ticket From
the Democratic angle of view even, candidate
should have been named from Wilmington, but
none of those who had been mentioned in con-
nection with the place seemed at all anxious for
the nomination. The feeling seemed 10 be that
there was chance Of election.
If the Democrats win, it will be because they get
independent and Republican votes from this city.
A candidate from Sussex county will not appeal
10 them. Mr.. White will do we'll if he holds his
party strength in the lower counties 1t is doubt
full whether he will do so in view of the manner
in which William Salisbury defeated. The
Democrats have lost the opportunity to put up
aggressive fight during the campaign, such a
fight as they conducted two years ago.
We think it will be hard to raise enthusiasm
over the Democratic ticket.
In fact we have not heard OF tumuit of Joy al

DISPLEASED DEMOCRATS.

4 N DELAWARE the Democratic party will be
a judged by performances and not by promises.
For some reason the platform of the Dover CON
vention failed TO approve the Democratic admins
tration of Wilmington and that of Kent county, but
il makes further promises of what will be done II
the State is turned over TO the Democrats. SINH
lar promises we're made during the last campaign.
The Democrats carried the lower house of the Leg
islature They elected the Levy Court in Kent
county, they elected majority of the city council
mep and the mayor of Wilmington And yet the
work done by these three bodies failed TO win
even the admiration of the Democrats in their
State convention. Only the conduct of the Office
of Attorney General Gray has been pleasing to
the Democrats, judging by the expression of their
convention.
With the other Democratic Office holders ignored
when flowers we're handed out, how can the voters
take the Democratic promises for their face value?
Surely If the Democrats themselves are not pleased
sufficiently TO commend the work of the partys
agents. they do not expect the independents and
Republicans TO be pleased.
The truth seems to be that the Democrats are
disappointed with the Legislature, the city admin
istration Of Wilmington ehd the Levy Court Of

RESULT IN ILLINOIS.

HE primary election in Illinois had some cur
n ious results. Speaker Cannon of course was
renominated but the insurgents are said TO have
captured three of the congressional nominations
although in the last Congress the stand-patters had
a solid delegation.
Congressman Boutell, one of Speaker Cannon's
right hand men, has gone down TO overwhelming
defeat. On the other hand most of the legisla-
tive Jack Potters the men involved in the legisla-
tive scandals, have been renominated by the Demo
Gratis. The Democratic leader in the Legislature,
who voted for Lorimer for Senator and who has
been twice acquitted of bribery by the courts has
been renomnated, fact showing the remarkable
view taken by the Democrats of his own district
1t is as if the Democrats in Delaware should have
renominated for the Legislature Farow, King and
Clark, who deserted them during the memorable
session in Delaware some years ago.
The grip Of Senator Lorimer on the Illinois
organization has not been badly broken, despite
the Rooseveltian denunciaton of him and the fierce
fight that has been waged against him. Evidently
those independent citizens of Illinois who are look
ing for reforms will not tie themselves to the
Democratic party of the state in the hope of get
ing them.

WOODROW WILSON.

NEW JERSEY Democrats have nominated
man of high character, President Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton University, for governor and

No one questions the great ability of Dr. Will
son, but II is doubtful whether the high brow can
didate will be popular with the workers The labor
organizations of the State have been up against
DR.. Wilson and they are an important factor Again
DR.. Wilson is a man entirely different from those
who have been usually placed in Office by New
Jersey Democrats.
All sorts OF rumors are and have been current
that Dr.. Wilson was put forward as the candidate
OF the interests This view is due to the fact that
he was heartily supported by the delegates from
Newark and Jersey City under the direction of for
mer Senator James Smith, who would like to return
to the higher house at Washington Mr. Smith
has been known one of the chiefs of the Demo-
cratic conservatives and corporation men,
President Wilson favors state instead of ma
fonaI control of corporations. Upon this point he
will be assaied. Many of the old line Democrats
still stand by the doctrine of state rights and be-
lieye the state should control corporations if there
is to be such control, This idea is of course the
opposite of Federal control but il should be plain

Mr.. Williams discussed Mr.. Slemp's

took in passing the tariff bill which
was clearly against the interests OF
his constituents. He also stated Mr.

a public servant in the constitutional

Mr.. Williams severely scored the
Republican leaders for attempting to
inject into this campaign q state

from the real issue, the tariff.
