REPUBLICAN TICKET.

THE ticket nominated by the
democrats at Dover last Tuesday
was a sore disappointment to a
large part of the voters Of that par
ty, especially that part favoring To-
cal option as to the sale Of liquor,
who failed to get a single nomina-
ton for their faction. In Kent
where it was expected that the
candidate for representative in
congress would be given, there IS
much dissatisfaction, and the feel
ing tLat the wet delegates from
New Castle and Wilmington, rode
over them rough shod is growing;
but, there will be no open revolt
until after the county primaries are
held.
Milford chronicle., 1910-09-16

FROM all parts Of the United
States election returns show a dis
position to revolt against the poll
cies as carried out by the Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives and
his friends. The insurgent forces
Of the far west, especially the Paci-
hc Coast states, have won decisive
victories over the administration
forces, and the elections in New
England have shown the same re-
suits. In Maine the Democratic
party made a clean sweep this
week when the State elections were
held and not only elected their gov
ernor, but carried the Legislature
and are in absolute control of the
State government. This was the
result Of a revolt against the fac
ton in control, and was largely
affected by local interests; NOTABLY,
local option. While Maine is sup
posed to be a prohibition State,
yet the law there provides for the
sale Of liquor under certain restric-
tions, and it was that law which
the people were crying out against.
All of these several incidents will
be seized on by democrats as the
rising tide of democratic success,
but the fact is that the people are
taking advantage of the of year in
politics to express their growing
dissatisfaction with corporation
control ofpublic affairs. Theodore
Roosevelt has set the people think
ing, and they are aroused over the
questions presented for considera-
tion. We feel confident that the
republican party will be strength
ened in the end by the present dis
quietness of the people, who will
see after sober consideration, that
the principals Of that party lead to
better government and greater
prosperity.

The church has for some time been
at least theoretical enemy of the sa-
loom In New York a new phase of the
situation has appeared, saloons making
use of the church to fight each other.
1t seems there is in that state a law
forbidding the keeping of saloon with
in 200 feet of church. A saloon keep
er bought small building located with
in 200 feet of rival saloon and donat-
ed it to religious association for use
as a church. The result was that the
rival could not renew his license. The
rival is now trying to buy building
within the limited distance of the sa-
loon first mentioned, and if successful
will put administration out of business.
Thus it appears possible in New York
to apply the anti-toxin method to the
treatment of the saloon disease -inoc-
ulate the community with churches.

Were you ever hit by SNOWFALL,
or a mud ball, thrown from behind a
wall which screened from view dozen
mischievous boys? In the screen of the
wall and the number of boys behind it
lies immunity from punishment, for
you can't determine who threw the
ball The same interminablec conditions
exist in regard to the editorial mud
balls of the Journal. Some time ago a
patron of the sheet complained of the
attitude of the paper, and was told by
the editor that he'would like to take a
different attitude, but was prevented
by certain stockholders. During the
recent campaign certain stockholders,
or assumed stockholders, of the Jour-
nal corporation made promiscuous prom
Uses of political support. Failure to
give the support as promised was ex-
cused by the statement that other
stockholders objected. Like vagrant
cur, the sheet seems to be in a position
to make all kinds of scurrilous state
ments, and obtain immunity by shifting
the responsibility to those vague, OBJ
scure and indistinguishable beings, the
stockholders.
