There is no tossing of hats or "hur-
rahs" among Wilmington Democrats
over the ticket, and the impression is
that lack OF leadership IN the Dover
convention has greatly handicapped
the party IN q most important respect.
The nomination OF Robert {. White,
Of Georgetown, for Congress has
created no great interest locally. and
those who seem to be eXultlng the
most are the wet" men who domi-
mated the convention, slapped Kent
county in the face because it put for
ward William salisbury, a dry
candidate for Congress. and then pro-
cecded 20 nomirnte Mr.. White q
wet candidate. The Ignoring Of
Kents claim for a Congressional
nominee. which il has not had for
ten years. and the vengeance wreak-
sd by the wet" delegates upon MIR.
Salisbury because he has been the
anti-license leader in Kent. has left
a bad feeling down the State which
il is feared will manifest itself at the
election.
III there ever was a time when
the Democratic party needed few
leaders to step in and take command
of the situation for the good of the
party il was at Dover on Tuesday.

FIX MACHINERY
ON DREADNAUGHTS

AS the result of the accident on the
battleship North Dakota, by which
three coalpassers were killed and
number of enlisted men seriously in
jured, certain machinery on the new
battleship Delaware. which is. like
that on the North Dakota, will be
made so as to make the recurrence of
such an accident impossible. The navy
department reels that it is important
that the defects found responsible TO-
the accident were discovered in time
to be Temedied before more serious
consequences might ensue.
The changes are recommended in a
report made by naval board of in
Quiry and approved by Rear-Admiral
Seaton Schroeder. commander-in-
chief of the Atlantic battleship fleet.
The report is lengthy and discusses
the technical aspects of the accident
minutely. The board finds that the ac-
cident was caused by a leak near the
settling tank, and in passing judgment
upon the structural arrangements
near the oil pipes criticises their ar
rangements and construction. This
criticism will cause the changes to be
made in the Delaware.

cy looking to a healing of the breach
between the progressive and regular

KID" by the executive. Il announces
that the President has determined
hereafter not to draw any distinction
between the Republicanism of sena-
tors and representatives so long as
they subscribe to the platform of the
party. 1t provides for the restoration
of the share of the insurgents in fed
eral patronage. In brief President
Taft declares himself friend OF the
progressiyes.
Politicians here declare that the new
attitude of the administration is not
adopted as a concession to the insur-
gent sentiment They say il is a recog-
milton of their ReDublicanism and an
attempt by the President as titular
leader of the parry TO turn progress
siYe" activity into channels where the
most good can be accomplished. Here
tolore friends of the President declare,
his Withholding patronage from the
insurgents has been construed as in
dicating his alignmct with the "regu-
