STRONG REPUBLIcAN corNTy TICKETS

K ENT COUNTY and Sussex county Republicans have
~ distinguished themselves by nominating excep-
tonslly strong county tickets In that they have fol-
lowed the example set by the New Castle county Re
puolicans. who have OF the strongest tickets in
the history Of the party there The Republicans of the
State are to be congratulated upon the good work they
have done with respect 10 the State and the county
nominations II is seldom that any party in Delaware
has gone into fight with strong State ticket sup
ported by three strong county tickets That however
is true Of Republicans in Delaware this year
On the other hand, the Democrats labor under the
disadvantage Of having exceedingly weak state
ticket, with weaker tickets New Castle and Kent

ton that the Democratic ticket there will be as weak
as the State ticket and the county tickets in New Castle
and Kent In all sections the State the unpopularity
OF State Senator Thomas NJ. Monaghan becomes more
apparent every day His candidacy not only fails 10

ness to the Democrats, particularly Kent county.
In the midland county there is a deep-seated feeling
Of resentment against Senator Monaghan and his
friends for their conduct deprivng Kent county
Democrats of all representation the State ticket
In many sections the Democratic standsrd-bearer is

BEVERIDGE TO DELIVER
KEYNOTE SPEECH TODAY
Gov. Johnson, of California, Is
Doomed for Roosevelt's
Running Mate.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Col. Roosevelt
and his party arrived from New York
at S:55 this morning. A great crowd
filled the station and the streets out
side. Wild cheering greeted the col
onel as he passed through the sta
tion, and a demonstration started
when he stepped onto the sidewalk
TO get into an automobile and pro-
ceed to the Congress hotel.
Among the prominent Progressives
meeting him at the train were Miss
Jane Adams, Mrs. II. NJ. Wilmarth.
Harold F. Mccormick, Col. Chauncey

Col. Chauncey Dewey, led parade OF
automobiles TO the Congress hotel.
In arranging the trip from the

on the big crowd waiting in the

through side entrance in the auto

only about half the crowd getting a
| glimpse of him. The machines went

hotel, where large crowd had filed
the street and sidewalks. The col
onel's automobile was run up and
down the street TO give the crowd a
chance TO see Roosevelt. When the
automobile stopped, a battery OF
cameras was trained upon the col
lonel, ana moving picture operators
began taking pictures OF the colonel

metal bull moose that adorned the

Standing In the automobile, the col
onel made a short speech TO the

DR.. E. |. SHURLY SUGGESTS
COMMISSION PLAN AS
REMEDY FOR GRATING
Would Elect Officials for Life
Subject To Recall
BY Voters
WIPE OUT PARTY LINES
Fewer Elections, Too, Another
Feature of Proposed New
Municipal System
WIPE OUT PARTY LINES

Il am greatly astonished al the de-
velopment of so much crime among
our city officials" said DR.. E. l.. Shur'
ly to The Times. IL fondly believed
that we mad pretty honest city and
county officials, until the recent ex'
posure.
II believe our governing system 10
wrong. 1t is not a representative
one, but rather an oligarchy-com-
posed of factions and machines, the
personnel OF which often let's the love
of office and power. oyershadow THIS
personal appreciation OF responsible
ity to the public for the fulfillment OF
the public trust they are holding. In
other words, they treat the office as
personal emolument only, TO he ad-
ministered for the benefit OF them
selves and close friends. Therefore,
IL would seem that the time Is al
hand now for citizens to try TO do
something for the prevention of re-
currences of this sort, and to return
&c a representative form of municipal
government.
How shall II be done? | think by
adopting the following method;
Eliminate all political party lines
in municipal and county elections.
Have fewer elections.
Elect commission of competent
men with a tenure OF office for life, to
take the place of the board OF alder
men, for the ward representative is a
farce-a relic OF antiquity Such
commission should be empowered to
employ it's own assistants. being re-
sponsible for the performance OF its
duties, and the employees being re-
sponsible TO the commission only.
Each member of the commission
should be subject to recall, under de-
tailed regulations, by the electors.
Likewise the board Of estimates,
school board, ETC., should be composed
OF five commissioners elected by the
people. and consisting of two compe-
tent business men, two artisans, and
one competent lawyer.
THE mayor should be elected as
now, with tenure of Office OF two
years. he to be the supervising offi-
cial of the city as now. The county
officials should be elected also for
life and proper performance Of duties
with provision for the recall.
According TO the present system,
the members of the council, members
of the Board OF Education, prosecut-
ing attorney. etc, are political party
representatives, under the whip, more
or less, OF professional politicians who
require certain appointments, regard
less of competency They are imbued
with an incentive TO stay In In order
to reimburse themselves for time
spent in official duties and neglect or
their own business. II is through
this system that the scramble for Of
fice' occurs, and the selection, often,
OF incompetent individuals to fill i'm
portant and technical positions. They
have not the time TO attend to their
official duties. This system even with
out grating can not be as economi-
cal as commission government
would be-"

NEWSPAPERS FOR FALSE
STATEMENTS, SAYS WILSON
Ought To Be Some inexpensive
Method To Punish Misrepre-
sentations in Press
CITES ONE INSTANCE
Was Wrongly Quoted as Saying
He Was Strongly in Favor
of Tobacco Chewing

SEA GIRT, N. j.. Aug. 5.-Gov
Wilson digressed from affairs of state
today long enough TO air his views OF
the newspapers.

II said, jokingly, that no matter
what might be said against tobacco
chewing, 1t must be admitted IL made
men think and that wherever you
found men chewing tobacco together
there you found the real, public opin-
ion OF the country.
Imagine my horror when the
newspapers the next day ignored all
the rest OF my address, which

featured what said about tobacco

among the defendants in the case be-
gun by the government, Saturday, in
Chicago against the Poster Advertis-

fixed and a conspiracy framed to de-
stroy competition.
Mr. Walker, who is chairman Of the
promotion committee OF the Poster
Advertising association, said in an In

MEAT PRICES ARE UP 80
PER CENT AND THERE'S
NO PROSPECT OF DECLINE
More People to Feed, Fewer
Cattle to Feed Them" Local
Butcher Explains
THERE'S JUST ONE REMEDY
Proper Preservation of Cattle
Ranges Would Cut Cost Of
Production
THERE'S JUST ONE REMEDY

Meat prices high? Sure" eXclaim-
ed Adolph Marx, of the Marx mar
ket. What can you expect when
there are more people TO feed and
fewer cattle TO feed them. The DUTCH
ers are not making any money out or
the high prices, and neither is the
farmer, and the packing houses are
not making any too much either.
Some OF US butchers will go broke
Or crazy II this keeps up much. longer.
IF the people OF Detroit were 10
20 on a meat strike the way they did
In Cleveland, could shut up my shop
al this month, pay all my help and
be money ahead"
All of which indicates that there
are other peopN who are about as
much disturbed over the high price
Of meat as the poor consumer or
steaks and roasts.
The price of cattle has reached
higher figures than | can recall in
all my experience" continued Mr..
Marx. Back In 'S2 and 'S3 | remem-
ber dressed beef being as high as
l215 cents pound, but now IL is IA
and Is cents, and everything points
10 higher prices. The other day
prime cattle sold in Omaha at 1866
a hundred weight. which would mean
about IL cents for dressed meat. or
course, these high grades Of cattle do
not come to the Detroit market be-
cause Detroit consumers will not pay
the price for them. When beef is
selling around IA cents, II means that
the butcher must get from 2S 10 20
cents for round steak. ard the better
cuts go up out Of sight. There are
some packing houses here that will
not cut loin beef and dealers have
been forced TO pay as high as 40
cents a pound for il, meaning so cents
pound to the conumer.
There is no profit to the farmer
IL raising cattle with feed at the pres
ent prices. II does not take much Co
cent corn to wipe out all that the
farmer can make. Ii has been figured
out by a western cattle man that the
:et profit per head of cattle during
last winter was about $2.90.
"Just now the cattle men arc say
ing that the only thing that will re.
duce the cost of meat is a return TO
the grass, and the proper preserva-
tion of the cattle ranges which have
been cut up by settlers.
Meat prices have advanced from
or TO 30 per cent in Detroit during
tne past six months, and with 10 cent
cattle in sight in Chicago, there is
T.) prospect OF let-up."
