DOVER, Del. Sept 21-In an en-
thusiastic convention yesterday after
noon the National Progressive party
for Delaware nominated the foregoing
ticket, which not only the delegates
present but most Of the Republican
onlookers believed will concentrate
the Republican vote of Delaware at
the election in November and assure
the continuance of the State In Re
publican control However, il means
hat the Republican vote Will be di-
vided between President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt, and also on Con-
gressman unless compromise is
reached between Colonel John c..
Townsend. who was nominated yes
terday and General George II. Hall,
the nominee for the Republican State
Convention for Congress.
The ticket named yesterday. as will
be seen from the list printed ahoyes
is made up Of the Roosevelt electors
who were chosen in the Progressive
Convention of last week, the Re
publican office nominees for State Of
fees, and Colonel Townsend or Con-
gress, the only variance from the
Republican State ticket being on
Presidential electors and Congress-
man.
It was the hope Of most of the men
in yesterdays convention that Cen
eral George H. Hall, a broadminded
man, whose Republicanism or per-
sonal character is unquestioned, may
step down from the Republican ticket
Sand open the way for the Republican
State committee 10 place Colonel
townsend on the Republican ticket
There is no way General Hall can be
gotten from the Republican ticket ex-
cepting that he retire voluntarily. The
State Committee is not authorized tc
remove him. He was not an aspirant
for the Congressional nomination, and
was honored by being given place
on the ticket by the open Republican
Convention after some prominent Re
publicans had suggested his name as
"A fitting man 10 represent the party
in Congress.
In fact the Sussex county caucus
E of yesterdays convention took a
stand in behalf of General Hall for
Congress, and presented his name in
the convention for that nomination
but the sentiment as expressed by the
F. delegates was for Colonel Townsend
for that place on the ticket on the
ground that he is an out and out Pro
gressive and one OF the original
Roosevelt men in Delaware
Situation Over Congress.
Colonel Townsend is now in the

ber will not tolerate any amusement proceedings ill their courts. They are not men who believe in airing petty personal troubles in court of justice and there is not much likeli- hood that Mir. Collier will get any re- lief in his efforts to check a laudable, enterprise that has the highest stamp of approval upon it by majority of the property owners in this county.
 Judge Grace granted a temporary injunction to MT. Collier months ago and it was made permanent later by Judge Elliott. It went to the Su- preme Court and there the courts were reversed, or rather the Supreme Court and that the Free Bridge act was constitutional and was being carried out legally by the Free Bridge Commission.
 The Federal Court was appealed to by MT. Collier with the same result The Commission opened it's authoriz- ed meeting, legally and in a manner that wen the endorsement of even the antilBridge. people. It conducted its hearings in a legal manner, giv- ing MT. Collier ample time, several weeks, in which to present his evil dence and sustain previous charges against the Free Bridge majority. He was unable to do so and being fully convinced by. the facts and figures at hand that it had a majority for the Free Bridge, the, commissioners declared it's intention of proceeding with the work outlined in the Free Bridge ImLrcyement measure.
 Now MT. Collier would again try and check the progress of the move ment. He is playing for time. He cannot help but know that all future legal attempts 10 prevent the bui'd- ing of the Free Bridge will prove un- successful. There are no substan- atial reasons why he should be permit ted to use the courts to further his own personal ambition, that of gain ing more notoriey or local fame as an antagonist of all that means pro- gress and development in this coun- fl

ago during an address he predicted the imminent dissolution of the world by fire because of the great wickedness of the human race.
 General Booth was a great believer in the inherent goodness of women and often. expressed the belief that every time woman sinned she was led to it by man. He pondered for three years whether or net be should marry the girl of his choice because he was not sure he could make her as happy as he wished.
 During the last few years of his life General Booth has been troubled with cataracts upon his eyes and re- ca1sly suffered virtual blindness. Several operations were performed from time to time but they only post penel total inevitable darkness.

 WILSON.

Seagils, N. J., Aug. 20-'Those who are seeking special privilege in pol itics need not apply to ne, or to the Democratic party"
 This was the theme of Governor Wilson's speech delivered today be- fore the Democratic League of Tren- ton at the State Fair Grounds in that city. "They 'aeed not take the trouble ito line up with the Demo- cratic party" said the governor. "Selfishness is at the bottom of all. this business of professional combi- nations III politics. Americans have learned the private game of privilege. These who have practiced it have no regard for political parties. They have been non-partisans. But now the time for reallgnment has come.
 "Our demand is that every man come out in in true colors, and if he stands for privilege, he must take his stand on the other side of the line. For the first time in years the issue is clearly drawn. The privilege seekers have no place among us. We are on the ether side of the line.
 Governor Wilson was at his office at the s,ate capital at Trenton at 9 o'clock this morning, having left New York at 8. He attended to of ficial business until some time this afterncn when he drove to the Fair ground. four miles away. There he was greeted by about eco enthusiasts.
 The governor spoke of the respon- abilities of public men to their con gtituents.

 NEW BAITLtSHIP
HOUSE ADOPTED CONFERENCE REPORTS ON NAVAL APPRO-

New Battlesllip Will Be Named the "Pennsylyania' and Will Cost :,
 About $15,OOO,OOO

Washington, Aug. 20.-l3y a vote of 151 to 50 the House today adopted the conference report on the naval appropriations bill providing for one battleship. Forty-nine Democrats and one Progressive Republican voted against the report, the no-battleship faction and the universal peace ad- vocates joining hands.
 The new battleship is to cost $15,- 000,000. \ battleship of 31,000 tons displacement. The President is ex- pected to sign the bill with the hope that there will be additional ships Authorized at the December session Of Congress. The new ship is to be called the Pennsylvania.
 If there be no additional ships next session the navy will be in the position as cften declared by Secre- tary Meyers. of fifth in the scale of nations and rapidly becoming lower.
 The Pennsylvania will be a ship of greater tonnage than the first class, dreadnaught and will carry twelve 14-inch guns. It will be about 630 feeis long. The armor will, in all probability, be IS inches thick for the turrets and upper structure, heavier than that of any other vessel in the navy.

WHEN WILL IT sTOPa

Notwithstanding that he must full ly realize that his is hopeless fight and with apparently no ether idea in Nisw but to harrass and worry 6he vfcters in the Free Bridge cOntrO- versy, T. J. Collier, president of the Taxpayers Protective Association, will cisher, today CT tomorrow, it is stated, file petition in the circuit court here fer writ of certiorari ' to prevent the Jefferson County Free Bridge Commission from carrying cut the duties created in the special acf authorizing ,.he Free Bridge Im- { proyement District.
 It matters not how pers' stent MT. Cnllier is in his continuous legal op- pdsisinn, there should be a hat cai.ed 2 ;t0 his playful methods sooner or saEfer. Judge Grace is not jurist t6 he fooled with.

 work carefully aud faithfully at great personal sacrifice. He compli- mented his brother commissioners for their faithful performances and' asseT ed that they were all physical ly weak after days of continuous labors and tedious sessions. He toll Of how the oppositicn to the Free Bridge had presented weak claims against the majority and declared that the protests and contentious of the Taxpayers were really ridiculous and should not have delayed the Free Bridge enterprise 24 hours. He refer red to the several conflicting state- ments of MT. Collier regarding the number of property owners in the county The Commission has been fair and impartial in it's sessions, he said, and will continue to deal fairly and honestly in all of it's work. In fact, he said, one of the Taxpayers is being con sidered by the Board as one of the assessors for the District. Pine Bluff, he said, would bear the heavie:,t burden of the Free Bridge tax and the Commission had about come to the conclusion that the cost of the Free Bridge would not be borne by the taxpayers of this coun- y, but by the, railroads that will pay revenue for it's use.
 The following resolution, introduce ed by Meyer Solmson and seconded by w. N. Trulock, was unanimously adopted:

 Whereas, The Jefferson County Free Bridge Commissioners have de- clared that large majority of prop erty owners, in number and in value, have signed for the Improvements authorized under the special act cre- ating the Free Bridge improvment Q1StrlCt. InoFeIOr6
