IRON HILL RESIDENTS COM
PLAIN OF ROADS

The hard winter and recent hard
weather have rendered some Of the
roads around Newark in almost im-
ra>Sble condition. Especially is
THIS true with roads around Chest
nut Hill and Iron Hill. Some ot
them have been temporarily ahan-
doncd and residents are loud in
their complaint The Iron Hill road
leading from Elkton to Coochr'~
Bridge is perhaps in the worst con
dltlon. 1t is claimed by residents
here that this road could have. hnpn
fixed fer $50 last fall 50 that it
would have at least been 50 that
it could be used. but that now t.
mend the WaShoutS caused by ne
9lect will require an expenditure Of
$500. which could easily have been
saved.
The rural carriers are having
difficulty in serving their routes
and should they report conditions
as they exist. the rural service
would in all probability be stopped
until the reads were put in bet
ter condition.

Prcfcs~o" Harry Hayward. Of Del
aware College, gave an address be
fore the Current Events Glass Of
tn" NrW-Century Club in behalf
Of the proposed affiliated college
for women at Newark. She said it
was more practical plan than an
entirely separate college. as it
would cost far less. and it was more
popular than co-education. against
winch there seemed to be. cousid-
erable opposition in the State. Mrs.
hayward said she thought the Leg
stature would be willing to grant
the affiliated institution at next
years session. She said it was a
real need here, because MANY girls

CONVENTION
CALLED APRIL 18th
State Central Committee Meets
Taft Sentiment Prevails Among Lead
ers at Dover Oh Monday.
CALLED APRIL 18th
State Central Committee Meets

The political campaign in Dela-
ware was formerly opened on
Monday when the Republican
State Central Committee met at
Dover and called for ii general
convention Of the Republicans Of
the State to meet in Dover on
Tuesday. April 10th. The pri-
mary election for delegates will
be held on Saturday. April 18th.
The various county chairmen will
issue calls for primary elections,
announcing time, place. and num-
ber OF State convention delegates.

tlon will meet in Dover. April 10th
and elect two delegates from the
congressional district Of Delaware
and four delegates-at- large to the
National Convention at Chicago.
to nominate a successor to Presi-
dent Taft.
Although the probable choice of
the State Central Committee
would be for an instructed dplcga-
ton for President Taft. it is the
general impression that the con-
yrntlon will adhere to the old pol
icN Of som" years in sending an
unjnStructed delegation. It is un-
derStood that practically all the
State committeeman are favorable
to Mr., Taft and it is reported that
some Of them Monday were favor
able to passing resolution urging
the convention to so instruct the
national delegates.
The States representation in
Congress favor his denomination
yet have expressed themselves ia
Voring an adherence TO the former
policy.
The committee did. however,
pass a resolution endorsing the
present administration and gave
him hearty praise III the sane and
dignlficd administration.
The members present at meeting
were: State Chairman Edmund
Mitchell, of Wilmington: Treas
urer Alden r. Benson. of Dover

trict Chairman II. II. Billany. of
Wilmington; New Castle County

lists, in view of their great influence in
many constituencies, will be able to
secure one hunderd seats or so, but
their number will not Increase like that
of the Centralists after the election.
GAS to the Constitutionalists, they
are sternuously endeavoring to retain
their present strength, but their num-
Der may decrease. The party, how
ever, will attract, as usual, many In.
dependents to their ranks after the
electfUn, and there is every possibility
that The number of Constitutionalist
seats will be increased to two hundred
and fifty or even more when the house
opens.77
Count Okuma recently made the fol.
lowing statement concerning the situa-
tion:
AS the replacement of the old by
the new is a law of nature, / am rather
ready TO welcome the appearance of
new candidates in the field, but I
regret to hear that there are among
these candidates some who were once
criminals, because this shows how weak
is public control over these men. If
such persons be successful in the cleo
biVHsj thcIe VIII Dc great cause TOT APP
prehension over the future development
of constitutional politics. We often
hear men deploring the corrupt methods
employed in our eleetional campaigns,
but the people are not corrupt, as gem
orally asserted; they are merely lack
ing in political knowledge, are often
deceived by the smart devices of the
canvassers, and unknowingly use their
votes in evil ways.
f'But cause for far more apprehen.
sion in the forthcoming general cleo
ton, as in those of the past, is the Off
cial meddling in the campaigns. Mr..
Hara, minister of home affairs, repeat
eddy affirms his absolute neutrality, but
his words can be little relied upon. The
government authorities declared their
neutrality at the last few general cleo.
tions, but scarce any of them kept their
word.
GAS to the result there can be no
doubt that the Seiyukai will retain
their present majority in the new
house of representatives

TAFT DENIES HE
SENT BUTT
TO Pope

WASHINGTON, May 10. President
Tai, yesterday started FROM MARIETTA,
Ohio, on tcn.day campaign, the re.
suit Of which he himself declares will
he "most significant. He will cover
tho entire state in his tour and ex-
poets to wind up at his home again in
time for the primaries which will take
place tomorrow week
Before starting out last night the
President issued formal statement
regarding the stories which have been
circulated in connection with the mis-
sion of Major Archibald Butt, late aid
to the President, who was drowned in
the sinking of the White Star liner
Titanic. Mr.. Taft declares that there
is no truth in the report that Major
Butt was dispatched with secret mes
sage to the Pope, nor did the ofIicer-
diplomat have any business with the
Vatican in especial.
Mr., Taft adds that the circulation of
the story is but an attempt on the
part of his political opponents to
fstir up religious strife and prejudice,
by charging that have unduly favored
the Catholic church during my admin
istration, This is not true, as l have
been careful at all times to exercise the
strictest impartiality in my official deal
ings with all churches of whatever de-
nomination. -
