known faotf Again, this yet re.
membered piece Of villiany Of
Jack Dickey's, who since getting
out" has been honored with the
post Of Dictator OF his party's
nominations at the Dover conven-
ton. Al number of white citi-
zens at Wilmington, long vainly
seeking to get him to receive
their taxes, infuriated at his ras.
cality chased him one day into his
shop on Market Street, swearing
they would get their tax receipts
or his hide, and Dickey in terror
of his life fed to the housetops
and escaped. VIII the EUery
Evening be impudent enough to
deny that and scores Of like evil
doings Of its precious party boss9
Sad to tell the state has two
Jacks-Jack Goodwin and Jack
Dickey-both renowned in their
peculiar ways. The hrst still
languishes in jail, the other is
now out, exalted as above said, to
high dictatorial honors in the
councils of the Every Evenings
party of unthinkable purity-and
never one feeble bleat Of protest
from that Pharisaical organ.
Yet once more:-A Democratic
assessor in st. Georges Hundred,
one Theodore Armstrong, of
whom it may be said as in Mac.
beth "that the multiplying vii
lainies of nature do swarm upon
him." repeatedly removed from
his roll the names of some of the
best citizens in Middletown, and
for several years kept them from
voting. One of these was the
then pastor of the NJ. 3. Church
here whose name was two or
three times stricken off the roll
by Armstrong after being re-
placed. Mr.. Joseph G. Jolls'
name was thus arbitrarily taken
of the roll by this scoundrel
Armstrong, as we're the names of
many others here in Middletown.
The death Of julius Caesar is
not more certainly known than
all these facts. Will the Every
Evening have the temerity to
deny them? II SO, then its audas
city will match its mendacity.
AS for the Townsend. Grier
matter, the facts are too clear for
any amount Of bowling and dust
throwing By the Every Evening
to hide the issue. The crux of
the whole business is simply this:
Col. Townsend declares and ''Re-
former" Grier has not yet dared |
to deny, that he, Grier, purposed |
in his later lads. " to attack indi.
vidual Republican candidates,
and Grier confesses this in writ
ing SIT is my hope that the people |
of Mispillion will defeat certain |
candidates whose nominations are |
an insult, ETC., and drag Repub.
licans deeper into the mire."
As for the rest, The TRAN
suspects from the size of
the Every Evenings squeal and
the lively manner in which itruns
around, that the knife must have
gotten through its pachyderma-
tous hide! Perhaps, too, pur-
suant to it's Machiavellian maxim
that a lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth, that sheet will sum-
mon effrontery enough to deny
this truthful arraignment of its
party; but it will avail nothing,
since the people and the P ressof
the state have come to know it
too well.

We pledge our nominees for the

DIRECT VOTE
FOR SENATORS
Threatens To Overshadow
Every Other Issue in the
Present Session of
Congress.
BY United Press Wire.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE direct
election of United States senators by
the people today threatens to over
shadow all other issues in the pres
ent session of the senate. Old Guard
leaders conferred today as to means
TO prevent the movement from get
ting headway. Senators Hale, Repub-
lican, Maine, and Root, Republican,
New York, were credited with activ-
ity in the effort of standpatters" to
keep the resolution favoring 1t in the
committee of judiciary until the Six
ty-First congress retres from busi-
ness in March.
A meeting of the committee will
be held Monday to consider the re-
port of subcommittee of three that
voted two to one in favor of the
selection of senators by direct vote OF
the people. The full committee is
about equally divided and the line
up at Mondays meeting is awaited
with deep interest. Each side claims
a majority.
A favorable report from the COM
mittee on the direct election plan
would be the signal for the strong
est fight that could be made by OPP
ponents of the proposition, and with
the crush of work necessary to be
done in the short session they might
be able to gain a temporary victory
Indications are bright that an
tamendment to the United States con-
stitution providing for the election OF
senators. would be adopted by a suf-
| ficient number of states to place II
in effect. More than enough, through
their legislatures, have declared al.
ready in favor of directly electinl
senators. These include Arkansas, Cali.
fornia, Minnesota, Utah, Kansas
Texas, Illinois, Indiana, South Dako.
