MIR. BRYAN AS A FACTOR.

n NCE again we observe that Mr. Bryan, ac-
~ cording TO his critics, has been told to 60
about his own business. Mr.. Underwood, chair
man of the House Committee on Ways and Means
is very pert. Mr.. Bryan has been informed that
the House is able to take care of itself without
his interference
Ii took Mr.. Underwood and the others not a
little time TO screw up their courage to make
the announcement and to defy Mr.. Bryan.
1t is all question about wool. Mr.. Bryan wants
free wool and the Democrats in command of Con-
gress are not ready for it, Wool growers in
Texas among others protesting.
1t is not likely that Mr. Bryan will run away
from the issue. And it is more than likely that
a great many Democrats agree with him in his
opinions about free wool.
One of the staunch opponents of Mr.. Bryan
calls the action of the House Caucus in rejecting
the Bryan plan a declaration of independence. 1t
rather drastic action, it says, in the effort to
free the Democratic party from the fetters that
Mr.. Bryan some time ago forged around it.
Some of his opponents have been kept busy
freeing the party from Mr.. Bryan" They have,
we think rather hopeless task Mr.. Bryan has
not yet lost his influence among the Democrats,
not by jug full. He will have much to say about
the next Democratic candidate for President, and
the man nominated against the wishes of Mr..
Bryan would have a hard road to travel if he
hoped to attain success.
If Mr.. Bryan should join forces with the Hon W.
Wilson of New Iersey-and many believe he will
do so-there is little doubt that Mr.. Wilson would
be nominated for President The way in which
some of the Wall street papers are slappng the
Governor of New Jersey should commend him to

sELF-INTEREsT THE MOTIVE

A THE meeting Of the Civic Association the
"A other evening President Ward made good
point when he remarked that the association was
not a charitable but selfish body.
The plan of the association is TO cultivate a
spirit of selfnterest in municipal matters, TO Sc
cure good government in the city as matter of
self-nterest.
II desires the people to get the worth of their
money paid in city taxes. BY the holding of meet
ings and the discussion of various matters such
as the proposed new charter-and TO that subject
the association is now devoting its efforts-the
association hopes to arouse civic pride and civic
interest Its members know that a government
we'll and economically managed means better
Wilmington.
The association is making progress. II is grow
ing in membership and although the attendance
is not so large as wished, the number Of those at
the meetings is increasing and it will continue so
to do
The good work of the association is not to be
measured entirely by the size of the audiences.
The speakers through the reports Of their ad-
dresses in the newspapers, reach all the people
and the educational value must be great.
But the best way is TO attend the meetings.
There is a charm in hearing the words as they
come from the lips of a speaker which is lost in
reading them in type Then, again the meetings
bring together citizens and such contact cannot be
but beneficial.

proper thing to do and accepts the activity as
matter of course
Sometimes, however we are inclined TO think
that it is all wrong that such efforts should
be made, that there should be merely few nee
essary watchers and that should be sent to
drag unwilling voters TO the polls.
If there we're none of this, the vote recorded
would represent the views of the wide-awake who
had taken sufficient interest in election TO give
the questions at issue some intelligent thought A
man who is so indifferent that he has to be liter
ally dragged 10 the polls is evidently not a man
who has given thought and attention 10 the is
sues and he is not apt TO vote intelligently.
This argument is used by advocates of the init
iative and referendum. Some men say that the
referendum would not be practical because the
people won't vote in large numbers on questions
which do not directly involve personalities 1t is
true that on matters of pure legislation the refer
endum does not bring out so large a percentage
OF citizens TO vote when candidates are on the
ticket seeking Office
To this the referendum advocates say the small
vote matters not. With the referendum you get
the intelligent vote and you eliminate the careless
the thoughtless andthe Indifferent more effectively
than could be done in any other way.

THE SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN.

G ONE peope think the Socialist campaign was
~ frame up" that is the Republicans encour-
aged it believing that the Socialists would draw
heavily from the Democrats and thus help the
Republican ticket
But there is no good reason why the Socialists
should be encouraged by the Republicans En-
couragement of the party is a two-edged sword
1t by no means follows that the Socialists draw by
far the larger percentage of their strength from
former Democrats.
In the city of Reading, for example if we re-
member correctly. at the last election the Social
ist vote was almost as large that of the Re-
publicans. The Socialists elected a candidate for
the Legislature.
The party has made remarkable growth in many
other cities throughout the country. Some we'll
attended meetings we're conducted here addressed
by such leaders as John Spargo The Socialists
have been working with considerable enthusiasm.
Viewing the situation in this light il is not sur
prising that Congressman Heald made the pre-
dicton of 800 Socialist votes. The Socialist City
Committee thought surely that their total would
at least reach that figure. They probably believe
now that people talk one way and often vote
another and that Delaware is different from most
other communities politically Certain it is that
various kinds of political waves sweep through the
rest of the country but never touch us. Away
back in the early part of the last century Delaware
elected Federalist Governor when the party was
practically dead in other states

GETTING OFT THE VOTE.

IT HE JOURNAL does not know how much
L money was spent during the recent city
campaign or who contributed the money. The
holding of the election must have cost considerable
even assuming that no money was used for i'm
proper purposes.
Mayor Spruance thinks that the Republicans
used money and many persons believe that the
campaign cost the Mayor much more than thirty
cents The campaign managers have to pay work
ers and watchers, and there are other expenses
considered legitimate. But il seems to us that,
the amount OF money usually employed for these
purposes is too high
The custom is TO urge citizens to 60 TO the polls.
Carriages and automobiles are sent rushing
through the city bringing the lazy, the thought
less the blind and the lame and the halt to the
polls. The workers do everything possible TO get
cut the vote, and almost everyone says this is the

corps were present.
Champ Clark, who had just left the
house of representatives, announced
in his address amid loud applause
that the test vote for immediate con-
sideration of the Canadian reciprocity
bill had been won by the administra-
ton. Turning to President Taft, he
said, laughingly:
That's a document which the pres

But speaking for myself-not for Pres

reciprocity not only with Canada, but
with all South and Central American
republics. In fact, I'm in favor of re-

That there is the possibility of a
