a candidate for the nomina tion before the
convention.

They did not. They knew that the man
they had nominated for Governor said that
they were about TO try it, He told them il,
private as we'll as in public that he meant
what he said. He told them with brutal
frankness that he meant what he said,
but he could not make them believe it. And
SO he was chosen and inasmuch az he and
his colleagues running with him all meant
what they said, the new order was instituted.
a new experiment was tried. an unusual
practice in New Jersey politics was begun.
Those unusual practices were the practice
OF openness. the practice of constant frank
appeal 10 public opinion. the practice OF
putting everything upon basis OF dis
cussion. the practice OF leaving every door
open, so that the State might be audience
and spectator Of its own affairs.

Delaware Farmers Feeding
Wheat and Oats

Because Delaware farmers sold most
of their corn last year to brokers who
shipped it into the Northern market. SO
great a scarcity prevails that with corn
selling at So cents a bushel. many cat
tie owners are feeding on wheat and
oats, finding it cheaper.
Many of the mills have been compell-
ed to shut down on account of lack of
corn, and several large shipments of
Western corn have been resold at IS
cents to farmers who sold their own
corn at 65 cents last year.
