Political Arraignment.

The arraignment of the present re-
publican administration is the strong
feature of the platform as 1t pertains
to national issues. 1t strongly in
dorses the last national democratic
platform and the present state ad-
ministration and continues:
I'VE congratulate the party upon
the widespread revival Of democratic
sentiment, which gives promise of
democratic victory.
I'VE congratulate the country that
democratic opposition has thus far
succeeded in defeating the iniquitous
ship subsidy.
I'VE recognize in the many exces-
sive rates on such favored products as
steel, wooden goods, rubber. lumber
and others the return the republican
politicians are making to the plumb
ering trusts for campaign contribu-
tions two years ago.
I'VE condemn the president for
surrendering to Aldrieh and Cannon
the control Of tariff revision and for
using his patronage to force unwill-
ing congressman Of the republican
party to accept their dietation. We
deplore the presidents folly and
weakness in surrounding himself
with a cabinet of trust advisers
I'VE favor the conservation OF the
natural resources Of the country and
condemn the policy under which fa-
vored capitalists and political syndi-
Gates secure control Of water power.

nations wealth In the states and in
Alaska. unrestrained and apparently
favored by the present national ad-
ministration.
I'VE condemn the president for re-

DEPOSES GREAT LEADER
ASSERTS PARTY POWER
Ptands on a Platform Opposed to Sump-
tuaFy Laws

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., July 81
Looking crushed and plainly show
ing his feeling William ]. Bryan
stood on the floor Of the democratic
state convention today after he had
lost in his fight for control of his
party in Nebraska and intimated
very strongly that he would make no
further efforts to dictate democratic
affairs. He said that he expected
defeat but thought that he could
force a compromise. The result OF
his defeat is general eoncensus of
opinion that his leadership days are
over and that from now his influence
in debating party policy will grow
less.
The platform adopted condemns
the tariff bill; President Taft's ad-
ministration; recommends the day
light liquor law, but no county option
plank for which Bryan fought and
on which he lost.

WALL ST. STIRS

break in Central America


BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE re-
lations of Wall street to Central
American revolutions, it is said, will
be the subject OF warm discussion in
Congress this winter, similar to that
which preceded the settlement of San
to Domingos debts.
It has been persistently reported
that a Wall street firm furnishing
funds to General Estrada in carrying
on his revolution in Nicaragua. Mes
sages from Honduras say that reso-
luton is about to be precipitated over
proposed loan which is being nego-
tiated by j. p. Morgan and Company.
It has been announced that the de-
partment will send a commissioner to
Nicaragua to assist in Strengthening
out the tangled financial affairs of
the republic. which is under a heavy
burden of debt II is suggested. in a
semi-Ofiicial way that a supervision of
the customs by the United States such
as in effect in Santo Domingo, will
probably result.
There is a strong element in Con-
gress opposed to the United States
mixing in the affairs of the efferves-
cent republics and protest is expect
ed against support being given to the
Wall street money lenders. After each
successive revolution, stories have
reached Washington leading many
statesmen to believe that high finance
PLAYED a much greater part than pa
triotism In the rebellion OF war.

BOULEVARD TO
THE RIVER FRONT
Business Men Suggest New
Highway be Built to
Edge Moor

A new idea for a shorter way to
Edge Moor, a way to reach the river
front, and for automobolists to avoid
Penny Hill on the Philadelphia pike.
has been discussed by several Will
mington men, among them Ernest B.
MacNair and f. e. Gallagher.
The suggested route is a boule-
ward, starting at Twenty-fifth and
Market streets, and running diagon-
ally to Thirtieth and Thatcher st 'eets.
Thatcher street already runs out to
the city limits, connecting there with
the old Kings Road" now closed.
BY opening the old Kings Road" a
way would be made connecting with
the Edge Moor road.
1t is pointed out that the north
east boulevard could easily be con-
structed now, as the land is still in
vacant lots. If the proposed Third
street bridge across the Brandywine
should be made, connecting with
Thatcher street, that section of the
city would be still further opened
up.
BY improved connections between
this city and Edge Moor, it is pointed
out that a solution might come to
the river front problem, that the city
might gain the river front by working
i'm from the fast land at Edge Moor,
and Lobdell's Mills on the other side,
rather than from a road from the CEN
ter of the city to the marsh land.

PUBLIC INTERESTIN
BIG PIANO SALE
RObelen company Already Has
Sold Seventy five in Ami
verSary Celebration

The Robelen Anniversary Piano
Sale has grown TO be one Of the most
remarkable transactions In Whining
tons business life. To celebrate the
fortieth anniversary of the house or
Robelen I'm business the company de-
cided to start its piano sale unpre-
cedented in Wilmington. Not only
did the company buy a trainload of
two hundred pianos Of $3.50 value to
be sold for S257.50 each, but upon
terms of $5 down and $1.25 a week
until paid for. with many other at
tractive features.
The progressive officers of the
Robelen Company bought two hun
dred pianos. made by one Of the fore
most manufacturers In the county,
which retail for $3.50. The Robelen
Company has retailed them for that
price and will do so after the present
Anniversary Sale is ended. Then they
began to announce the anniversary
sale. Persons Immediately became
interested. The bargain offer of a
$3.50 piano for $25750 was enough to
attract, but when the company an
nounced that they would be sold upon
| terms of So down and S1.25 a week,
with delivery after the first payment,
and a rebate of fifteen cents on each
weeks installment paid in advance of
the time It was due, the anniversary
sale became a question of public mo-
ment
That Il has been successful is
evidenced by the fact that seventy
five members have joined the Piano
Club up to this morning. The store
has been crowded every day. and
three carloads Of the pianos have been
received this week by the Robelen
Company to meet the demand.
Persons who are considering join
ing the club had better join without
delay. Hesitancy may cost you one
of these beautiful $3.50 pianos for
| S25750. There is but a limited num-
Der. and Judging from the many per-
sons calling at the store and from
the mail inquiries the remaining
pianos will go fast. The Robelen
Company can get but two hundred Of
them. When the final rush for them
begins it will be in earnest and all
will go in a hurry.

The chorus choir never sang better.
The fine phrasing and technical devel-
