Issues Raised by Platform.
The platform says in part:
we invite the cooperation of all white
voters 10 rescue our state from thei pres
eat corrupt control of it's political al
fairs.
1.-THE control of the republican party in
the state Of Delaware for the past twelve
years shows record of incapacity, of
mlsrule, which demonstrates its unfitneSs
for the power placed in it's hands. 1t
has made unfit nominations, deDauched
the ballot and abused the election ma
chinery so as to record the votes OF dead
men aud imported negroes
1T has SO blundered in passing statues
concerning the important city of Will
mington that the courts Of the state
have decided that the election held there
under is invalid. 1t now seeks to hood
wink the people of this state with plat
form of latituGes as a panacea for the
many evils for which il itself Is respon-
sibe.
I'VE invite the cooperation of all
right minded voters to join with the dem
ocratic party in putting an end TO the
rule of those politicians whose depend
ence is OF the magnitude of the negro
vote in this state and the shameless use
of money at the elections.
Pledges of Democracy

Never Out of Politics.

Blease began in politics by going to the
assembly from Newberry county when
he attained his majority. Since then he
has never been out of politics and seldom
out of Office. If the voters Of the state
did not heed his call for votes. then his
home town provided an office for him,
as last year. when it chose him to be
mayor after he had failed to reach the
gubernatorial chair.
Blease has always been a straight
democrat, serving as presidential elector
in 1896 and 1900, when Bryan was the
nominee.
Claudius c. Featherstone, Blease's op-
pcnent, made the issue on the liquor
question, declaring that Blease was
wrong in saying the people were tired of
prohibition arguments and that Blease
really stood for the dispensary and dis
pensary conditions.

WET OR DRY FLORIDA.
Statewide Prohibition or LOCAL. OPP
ton the Question Before Electors.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September Il.
A campaign to determine whether
Florida shall have statewide prohibi-
bition will begin here tomorrow with
the assembly Of the two state conven-
tions, the local optionists opposed to
the state wide principle and the pro-
hibitionists favoring it. Upon the re-
suits OF this campaign depends the
question whether the entire southeast
ern corner of the United States shall
be wet or dry.
The issue is an amendment to the
constitution provided for statewide
prohibition instead Of local option, which
Florida now has. This amendment will
be voted on at the November election.
Both of tomorrow's conventions are
called to lay plans for the campaign
on this issue.

Senator Beveridge's Opinion of the

INDIANAPOLIS, September 14.-Sena-
tor Beveridge, leader of the republican
insurgents in Indiana, said that the re-
suit of the Maine election is repudia-
ton of the leadership of Senator Hale
and the Maine representatives. who mis-
represented their constituents. He added:
1.-The result in Maine was neither demo-
cratic nor republican,; it was non-partisan.
I am familiar with the people Of Maine,
because l have spent several summers
there. They are conservative, we'll in
formed, determined.
Both the Maine senators and all the
Maine representatives. were ardent sup
porters Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff DILL
and Senator Hale has been its most de-
termined advocate and defender. There
fore the voters of Maine have repudiated
this leadership. which SO emphatically
misrepresented them"

SCARED BY CRY OF boo"
JAMES J. HILL GIVES REASON
FOR BUSINESS TIMIDITY.
Empire Builder Urges Use of Com.
mon Sense-What the Coun-
try Needs.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. September Thames
]. Hill says that it is only "a senseless
lack Of confidence that causes the pres
ent fear of business men Of the United
States to engage in new enterprises.
"Eome one somewhere has grown timid
some time over something and has cried
boot at his neighbor. His nelghbor
probably jumped and the next fellow took
fright without knowing why he was
frightened"
That's the way the empire builder" ex-
planned it in an interview yesterday He
added:
why, they're like a fiock of sheep If
one starts TO run. every sheep in that
f1ock will follow il it dies for it. The re-
cent conservation congress in this city
talked about conserving water and con-
serving land; conserving coal and con-
serving iron. it's too bad some one didn't
say a word about conserving common
sense.
Conservation of Common Sense.
That's what this country needs right
now-to conserve common sense. An ar
ticle in September magazine deals with
the conservation Of common sense and
gives as the panacea for the paralysis
that prevails the use OF old-fashioned
common sense. Business men everywhere
should take that advice,
y can see no. reason for the fears which
seem to possess our business men. I have
prea ched 'return-to-the-farm' policy for
years. and l expect to continue to do SO:
but that. is no reason for fears on the
part OF business.
Money and business are, OF course
very careful; and 1t is right that they
should be-but not to the extent OF cut
ting off their noses to spite their faces
especially when it is unnecessary and
they need the noses. too.
