The view Of the Issder confirms
much 81 what we said during the
campaign. Democratic factional
ambitions and jealousies had an
important bearing on the strug-
gle. The Democratic campaign
was without energy or vim, in
striking contrast with the fight
the Democrats made two years
ago when they nominated q astrong
State ticket which had the united
support Of the party.

AN EXPLANATION

Discussing the result of the
election in Delaware the DoUer
IndeD evidently does not put
much faith in the stories TO the
effect that the election was ''pur.
chased" tales that of the late
have been widely circulated.
The Indec says:
"The splendid victory of Wood
row Wilson in New Jersey is most
convincing evidence of the truth
of our claim that the right candi-
date can win, and that the party
usually wins when and where it
deserves to win.
"There is no place where this
lesson needs to be learned more
than in Delaware, and by Della
ware Democrats and Republicans
alike, and to bring the lesson
closer home, the election in Kent
county on Tuesday ought to be
impressive. 1t may be that du.
Pont money played a large part
in bringing about the defeat of
Democratic legislative candidates
on Tuesday, but that was not the
only cause. In Kent and Sussex
counties in particular, the Demo
cratic legislative ticket was much
weaker than the one of two years
ago, when there was no. United
States Senator at stake. Two
years ago in Kent county the
Democrats elected seven Of the
ten representatives and both of
the senators voted for. The
ticket was an unusually good one,
satisfactory in every way to the
people of the districts and it won
becau it deserved to win.
"This year in many of the dis
tricts the fitness of candidates
was little considered, and in some
instances the people of the dis.
tricts. beyond q few, were not
consulted. Self.constituted, per.
enniat senatorial candidates and
their lieutenants were busy and
candidates were forced on dis.
tricts by outside influence or in.
reference. The voters Of many
districts were disguised and re-
sented this interference at Tues.
days election. Kent county IS
no less Democratic than il was
two years ago, in fact it is more
Democratic. Two years ago
Democrats elected a sheriff, pro-
thonotary and coroner. This
year they have elected the clerk

"Albany cutthroats" whom
Roosevelt drubbed SO thoroughly
at the Saratoga Convention, used
most effectively the Doodle toma,
hawk furnished by the Wall
Street money sharks as eager as
Barnes himself for q thl ust at
Roosevelt.
In their thirst for re1enge
these deposed ringsters were
willing to join hands with the
Tammany Democrats to defeat
their own party, thinking there
by to injure Roosevelt. This
crew Of political pirates, in hopes
to drown the captain, were will
ing to scuttle the Republican
ship. But as later events will
show, they have succeeded in
nothing but to destroy themselves
for the good Republican ship in
New York will be raised and its
great captain survive to fight
many another stout battle for the
rights of the people, while the
Albany machine is wrecked past
all mending, for many a long
day.
Roosevelt has done his state
and party a great service in
cleaning out, like another Her.

ent, at some apparent loss of
prestige, though not SO in fact.
He simply attempted the impos,
sible. The Standpatters platform,
which he could not prevent, and
the Wall Street Doodle liberally-
poured into the laps Of the two
rings, Tammsny and Albany, all
three his debtors for cracked
bore him down to tempo
rary defeat.
Had Roosevelt been less brave
and more selfish, be would have
kept his hands of and let his
party go under-but the Barnes
Woodruff gang would have
survived. To smash it, seemed
his present duty, and he did it,
regardless of consequences to
himself. But let not the Preda-
tory Interests everywhere, and

bund, Tammany and Albany,
clay the fattering JUNCTION to
their souls, that they have

For as Paul Jones profanely ex-
claimed, when his ship LIE Bon

commander was demanding his
surrender, "damn it, haven't

JOE HURST is
SPECIAL Agent
New Representative of Agricultural
Department is Well Known Citi-
zen of Forrest County.

In the story with reference to the
appointment of a special agent of the
county, The News yesterday stated
that Mr.. Joe Hunt had been selected
to represent the government in this
capacity. In this connection slight
mistake was made in the name OF the
gentleman, and The News takes pleas
ure in correcting the error.
The new special agent is Mr.. Jo-
seph Hurst, who resides in this coun-
ty, about a mile north of Petal MI
Hurst is brother to Attorney A. A
Hurst, of this city, and is recognized
as one of the most intelligent and
successful agriculturalists of Forrest
county.
His appointment has already been
suggested to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, and his commits
sion, it is said, will be issued within
the next few days.
Those who are intimate with Mr..
Hurst feel confident that a better
man for the position could not have
been selected. Not only is he edu-
Gated, but he is said to be well in
formed on all branches of agriculture,
understands planting and cultivation,
the nature of the soil and the kinds
of fertilizer and the quantities to be
used for various crops, and has the
ability to explain all these matters in
a clear and definite manner
He will assume the duties of his
new position as soon as his commits
sion is received, and it is expected
that his services will be of inestima-
bic benefit to farmers of this county.
