DEMOCRATIC FIGHT FOR SENATOR.

r looks as if Former Chancellor John r. Mich
4 olson would be a strong figure in the race
for United States senator should the Democrats
control the next Legislature OF a sudden a boom
of considerable proportions has been started for
him. The Dover News set the ball rolling, and
the Index gave it big push The local Demo
cratic newspaper is friendly TO the suggestion. All
of which is significant.
For some time the Anti-Saulsbury Democrats
have been casting about for some one on whom
they could unite for Senator They seem to nave
decided upon the former jurist.
In years gone by they supported Mr.. John Biggs,
a curious position for them to take as Mr. Biggs
had previously been allied with the Salisbury fac
ton Back in 1886 he was one of thcir staunchest
and ablest supporters Whether or not the boom
ing.of Mr.. Nicholson means that Mr.. Biggs is TO
re Nropped is question, but we imagine that des-
pite any preconcerted efforts OF the Anti-Sausbury
men TO support Mr.. Nicholson, Mr. Biggs, if he so
wishes will have a considerable following in the
Legislature. ~
The recently asserted attitude OF the Dover
News mlSYnave been reached after careful thcSgnt
and deliberation. Some time ago the News had
list of some thirty or more senatorial aspirants,
and il has picked after much sitting, Mr.. Niehol-
son as the one who can best fill the bill.
The Index, as it intimates, may have personal
preferences for others than the ex-ehaneellor but
il is willing to drop them and take the jurist who
il says is free from factonal alliances.
Those in touch with the Democratic situation
have believed that should the Democrats win, they
would quarrel and deadlock the legislature so that
Mr. Nicholson might be agreed upon as a oompro-
mise The friends Of Mr.. Nicholson under that
idea would not make a fierce fight for legislative
nominations But it now looks as il the Anti
Salisbury men would support Mr. Nicholson from
the beginning.
When il is recalled that this element OF the
party controlled the last State convention and the
State committee, it can be readily seen that they
are in position TO make a stirring fight.
The Salisbury supporters are in position 10
take up the gauntlet thus thrown down. For many
years the Salisbury men we're in control OF the
party, the State conventions and the committees.
Those were days in which the Democrats had no
chance of success. The Salisbury followers fought
on and on until they became weary of the con-
hct Now that the Democrats suspect that they
have a chance of controlling the next Legislature,
the Salisbury men will undoubtedly resume their
political efforts and battle royal is promised II
will be clash such as marked the Democratic
battles of the oden days.
And in Democratic circles the interest over the
election of senator will supersede all other con-
Germ about the campaign.

CRY on ECnNnMY.

- HAMP CLARK and some of the other Demo-
~ cratic leaders who think the Democrats have
already won the next election have been outlining
what course the Democrats will pursue when they
get into power. One of their cardinal rules they
say, will be economy, a word that has wide mean.
ing. If Mr.. Clark means by economy that the
Democrats will attempt to cut down appropra-
tons and TO curtal the legitimate expenses of the
government they will pursue an unpopular course
If, on the other hand, they mean to see that no
money of the large amounts expended goes to
waste graft, that the government gets dollars
worth of value for the dollar expended, their
course will meet with popular approval
1t is generally believed that a great deal of
government money is frittered away. Senator
Aldrich, shrewd business man, once stated that
the government could be managed at much less
expense, and one of the first things done by Mr..
Taft when he became president was TO look into
the question Of expense.
Some Democrats doubtless think that certain
appropriations should be cut off that the govern.
ment could and should spend a great deal less
than it does But the spirit of the times demands
a widening scope of Federal activity which of
course involves greater expense. The govern
ment is going more and more into the affairs of
the people, getting into closer touch with them.
There have been nsistent demands for improved
water ways. The National Good Roads convention
will urge that the Federal Government take hand
in improving the roads of the nation as water
ways are improved State and municipal govern
ments are called on to appropriate money for this
and that purpose to such an extent that those who
make the appropriations are often up against a
stone wall not knowing which way to turn.
If all the demands for appropriations we're met
the income of most state or municipal govern
ments would have TO be doubled. We shall not
have lower taxes, but what we can do is to see
that the money expended is properly disposed of
and goes for the real benefit of the people. This
subject is hardly political ISSUE Both parties
in their platforms favor good government, but
putting their professions into practice is the more
difficult problem.

WHERE THE HIGH PROFITS GO.

THE MIDDLETOwN TRANSCRIPT thinks
il that high prices Of food products are due to
the large percentage of profit made by the mid
dlemen and the handlers including the railroad
companies who get the lions share. Prices are
higher than ever known before and there is but
little increase in the amount of products raised
not such increase as the growing population
would warrant. The farmers are not getting rich
is the Transcript idea.
AS a solution OF the problem organizations of
farmers are springing up to deal more or less d.
rectly with the consumers such as the California
Citrus Association, the Norfolk Vegetables Rasers
and the Eastern Shore Potato Association
The Delaware Produce Exchange is one of the
latest of these organizations. In operation but
eighty days, it has got the money for 100000
worth of our home products shipped away
The plan of exchanges is good for the farmers.
but the consumers in the city will be interested
TO know whether such direct dealing will lower the
price Of farm products TO the consumer as well
as bring greater profits to the farmers Lower
prices to the consumers would seem TO be the nat
ural outcome

The Wilmington MIDDLE.

Dover Sentinel.
The city of Wilmington is now with
out legal government, and the Demo-
Gratis of that municipality have no
one to blame for the present situation
but themselves. Since the Democrats
came into control, they have given a
splendid exhibition of how TO make a
failure of practical politics. and their
efforts have proven a veTitable god
send to the Republicans of that city.
1t has shown to the people the incom-
petence of the minority party sudden
ly elevated to power. II has shown
the Wilderness of the chasm between
the warning factions of the Demo-
cratic party, and the lack Of practical
business methods necessary to good
government. Governor Pennewill has
very properly refused to call a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to
straighten out the situation for the
city government of Wilmington, and
they will have to either agree with
the Republican officials to a plan to
get a legal form of government, or
wait until the Legislature assemblies
next January.

sHAS BEENSv FOR OFFICE

II HE DELMAR NEWS remarks that it has long
i been the custom in nominating county tick
cts to name candidates for Office men who
have passed the state of usefulness. They are
generally put on, adds the News, for what they
have done in the past and not for the ability they
possess AS a consequence some of the Office
holders mere hgureheads The News says
that people have been complaining of fgureheads
in Office and it is time to call halt
There are no hgureheads in New Castle county
places They are held by men who got there be-
cause of their political hustng abilities No dead
ones have any chance TO be named for county
positions in New Castle And in Kent I'VE think
that the county positions are filled by active men.
1t may be in Sussex more attention is paid to the
horses of the past, and for sentimental rea-
sons older men who have seen their best days of
political usefulness are nominated for various
places In State conventions the odd boys" are
always we'll represented in the Sussex county dele
cations 1t is not a bad idea either
OF course active and competent men should be
elected to Office and not men who leave all their
work TO deputies Considerable new blood is being
infused into Delaware politics. The last Demo-
cratic state convention had many young men as
delegates and speechmakers There was more
oratory at that convention than had been witness
ed for years And in the Republican convention
also there we're many younger men, but no young
Or. Laytons The younger men from now on will
take a more lively interest in both conventions
and we shall expect TO see their sentiments in
fluencing the platforms of the parties. Political
times are surely changing and the younger men
will be expected TO keep abreast of the changes.
