Surprise to Sussex Republicans

The appointment of Jesse W.
Sharp, of Seaford, former postmaster,
to the office of justice of the peace,
by Governor Pennewill this week was
a complete surprise to the Repnbli-
can leaders there. George S. Parks,
whose term expired on June 26th,
was a candidate for reappointment
and eight other men were in the
field. All were being strongly
boosted by several prominent Repub-
licans, and it never crossed their
minds that Mr.. Sharp was a candi-
date or desired the appointment.
After working hard for their candi-
dates many of the leaders are much
enraged to know that the Governor
appointed a silent candidate.

SUICIDE FROM SUDDEN GRIEF
Mrs. Clara Blizzard, of Georgetown.
Ends Her Life After Babys Death

- O'd'd O"NAdru, OF Georgetown,
Ends Her Life After Babys Death
With her mind affected over the
sudden death of her 8-month-old
child, Mrs. Clara Blizzard, wife of
Wade Blizzard, a Georgetown mer-
chant, committed suicide Tuesday
morning of last week by inhalng gas
before the rest of the family had
gotten out of bed. Her body was
found, still warm, by her husband.
who was awakened by the smell of
gas. Physicians found her dead when
they arrived. The 8-month-old child.
the youngest of her family, died
Monday of cholera morbus and it is
supposed the sudden death crazed the
young mother. Her peculiar actions
had caused the family to watch her
closely all day, but at night she
seemed much better, and. when she
insisted on sleeping down stairs
next to the room occupied by the
dead body of the child, the husband
consented. Some time in the morn
ing she arose and going 60 the out
kitchen plainly prepared for death.
She first hung large quilt over the
door SO that the odor of the gas
would not ascend to the other room
where her husband was sleeping.
Then she placed two cracker boxes
together against the gas stove so
that by lying down she could place
her head inside the gas oven. A
heavy shawl was pulled down from
the top of the stove and wrapped
around her head and then turned the
gas on. Close beside her was found
two bottles of laudanum, which the
woman had probably intended to
drink had the gas not proved fatal.
Death came in very short time, as
the volume of gas in the oven was
considerable.

Words of Advice

Much of demand for Resubmis-
sion in Kent County comes from re-
ported violations of the Local Option
law in the county. The liquor men
say, "There is as much liquor sold
here now as when we had license. !"
etc. This we believe every fair
minded observer of conditions in the
County will deny. The most rabid
liquor partisan himself does not be-
lieve it. 1t is said entirely for effect
and IS too often carelessly repeated
by umid temperance sympathizers.
Let US be very careful how we per-
NIT saloon supporters to put exag-
gerated or untruthful statements in
our mouths. We do not ATTEMPT TO
denv that the present Local Option
law is violated. We expected it
would be to certain small extent
So is every other law. But where it
is violated openly and fagrantly. as
Is a rare case now and then, it is
not the fault Of the law. but the
fault of the citizens who favor the
law. Theirs is the responsibility. The
cure is in their keeping. And the
cure is not Resubmission, but sup
preston.
The liquor traffic in America has
adopted a wel!-defined program of
notification of law. This program
IS to place all prohibition and local
option laws in disrepute by brazen
violations. This program is, in
part, at least, to be carried out in
Kent County, if the liquor forces car
bring it to pass. Our business is tc
hinder them at every turn by making
tne la" mean what it says.
Is the law being seriously violated
IN your town or community? If so
your duty is plain. Join with YOU

NO MONEY FOR LIGHTHOUSES
Congress Failed to Allow the Appro-
priations and Work is Stopped.

Congress Failed to Allow the Appro-
priations and Work is Stopped.
When the bill passed at the last
session of Congress recognizing the
lighthouse establishments of the
United States became law, on July
1st, 1910, it was supposed, through
misunderstanding, that numerous ap-
preparations for improvements in the
several lighthouse districts, which
the bill originally provided for, had
been allowed. Included in this sched-
ule of supposed appropriations was
$51, 900 for improving and extending
the lighthouse station at Edge
Moore, which is the station. of the
local district; also $50, 900 for COM
pleting the Mia Maui Soal and $50, =
900 for lighthouse on Joe Flogger
Shoal, all of which are in the Fourth
Lighthouse District, which includes
the Delaware River and Bay, but it
was learned when inquiry was made
of Commander H. A. Bisham, U. S.
NJ, the inspector in charge of the
district, that the bill contained no
appropriations when it became law,
all of the items having been stricken
out before its passage, though this
evidently was not generally known.
Why the appropriation were
stricken out is not definitely known
but it is said that the reason was
given at Washington that it was de-
sired to reorganize the lighthouse
establishment first and look after
the necessary appropriations for i'm
provements afterwards
Prior to the passage of the bill it
was expected that all of the Della
ware River and Bay allowances would
be made and that the proposed i'm
prOvements at Edge Moore and down
the bay could be proceeded with i'm
mediately after the money became
available, on the first of July, but
Inspector Bisham says that as no
money was appropriated in the bill
nothing could be done at Edge Moore
or Joe FlOgger Shoal, but as there
remains some money for the Maih
Maui Shoal light, which is in process
of construction, that work can pro-
ceed.

every viOlator. The Attorney Gene
raj of Delaware and his Deputies
will assist you in every possible
way to the limit of the funds at
their disposal for such work. Re-
port suspected persons and places to

will not voluntarily do their sworn
duty, compel them to DO so, or oust
them and select better ones.
You do not need professional de-
tectives. They are expensive and
unreliable. All you need is courage
and the cooperation of others who
believe as you do. Promptly suppress
every violation for the sake of your
own County; for the sake of Rural

tiOns in Kent County hinder US; for

Now pardon, in closing, some
pertinent
instructions to Every Thoughtful Voter
Delaware temperance interests re-
quire additional enforcement legisla-
tion to be obtained at Dover next
winter. All the more reason why
Kent County should elect a majority
of "dry" legislators.
The Anti-Saloon League is prepar-
ing to present to the Legislature two
bills of vital interest to Kent Count
ians.
First: An Anti-Shipping Bill
which will materially prohibit the
shipment of Intoxicating liquors from
'wet" territory into dry" terri
tory within State borders. Already
Congress has given US much protec-
tion from across State boundaries ;
we must next protect ourselves from
within the State. This proposed bill
is not dangerous; not drastic. 1t is
safe, sensible, found d upon the ex-
periences of other States in like mat
ters. Upon request we will send you
text of bill.
Second: A Search and Seizure
Bill, which proposes to make it
easier to discover violations of law
and to punish the guilty, by making
certain excessive quantities of liquor
stored anywhere in dry territory
prima facie evidence of the guilt of
the owner of sOuch liquor or the oc-
cupant of the property where it is
stored. 1t is the search warrant ap-
piled to intoxicating liqu~rs in dry
territory just as we have it now ap-
piled to stolen goods. Other States
have tried it and it works well.
Delaware needs it badly.
These propositions we submit for
your careful consideration. Help us
write them into our laws by voting
for legislative candidates who will
favor them.
We thank you for your patient
reading of this important message
we have faith to believe you will be
true. Yours very truly, The Anti
Saloon League of Delaware, A. S.
Mowbray, President; John M. Art
ers, superintendent; Wilmington,
Del, June Is, 1910.

possible satisfactory legislative nom

Succeeding, the League will then be
"hands off. F" Failing, the League
will endeavor to elect in every dis

OPEN AND FRANK LETTER
TO TEMPERANCE VOTERS
PREPARED BY THE ANTI-SALOON
LEAGUE OF DELAWARE
Plea to Kent Voters to Awaken to the
Dangers That Confronts the Tenn
perance Workers in Campaign

perance Workers in Campaign
To whom it may concern: Permit
US to publish in no uncertain tones a
warning to every Kent County Tenn
perance voter. The Delaware Liquor
interests, strongly federated, exceed
ingly vindictive, are not satisfied
with present conditions in Kent
County. They want Re-Submission
for that County, and they will en-
deavor to get it from the next Leg
islature, if possible. This is no idle
dream. 1t is a plain, cold fact and
needs to be seriously considered by
everybody in the County who is op-
posed to the open saloon. The liquor
men are not without resources in
Kent County. Liquor agents are even
now busy in every Representative
and Senatorial District. There are
three Senators and ten Representa-.
tives to be chosen this year in the
County, and it will be the endeavor
of the "wets" to elect a majority OF
them. Shall they be permitted to do
so?
This Is a Very Vital Question
Three favoable Senators and six
favorable Representatives are neces-
sary to Re-submission. Upon their
petition it must come to pass. There
are two hold-over Senators in the
County, Senator Anderson and She'll
drake. We believe we speak accu-
rately concerning their attitude upon
Re-submission when we say that they
are both against it. This being
true, the hope of Kent County tenn
perance voters is in the election of
safe Senators in the First, Third and
Fifth Senatorial Districts, who, no
matter their party. will stand against
Re-submission without fear of polit-
ical dictatlon or ulterior influence.
The House, is of course, important,
and should be given equally careful
attention. 1t is not too late to ask
that both dominant political parties
nominate "dry'' men for Senate and
House in each and every District
neither is it too much to ask. In
fact, if necessary, Kent temperance
voters are in position to demand
such nominations. Now is the time
to be busy. Nominating conventions
are near at hand. Candidates are
already announcing themselves.
estates" are in the making. If the
temperance vote fails to assert itself
at once in every district, there will
sbe nobody to blame but temperance
voters, if "wet" Legislators are in
the majority and force Re-submission
upon the County.
