-, ILLARD SALISBURY. Democratic National Com
w mitteeman and aspirant for Senatorial hcnors.
frightened by the widespread opposition among Demo-
the Fifteenth Representative District to the
boss-shp Of Andrew jackson Wright has made a des-
perate attempt induce Wright to withdraw from the
fight the nomination for Representatve-and failed
gnominously Now it is asserted, salisbury has
abandoned Wright swung in with Wrights political
enemies and is supporting the candidacy of George H.
Records Despite that fact, Wright asserts he will
win in Backbird hundred In short he feels that in
that particular section Of New Castle county he has
become powerful than his political creator. The
result Of the Democratic primaries tomorrow will
show whether that is so In any event this new turn
I'm the fight against Jack Wright makes the situa-
ton in the Blackbrd hundred district all the
interesting It simply emphasizes the repeated
tion that II Wright wins the primaries the decent
Democrats will defeat him in the general election and
that If the decent Democrats win in the primaries
Wright and his henchmen will knife the ticket
II it be true that Salisbury deserted Wright
and entered into deal to deliver him to his enemies
for political annihation, it is shameful piece Of
treachery the part Of the National Committeeman
While true that Salisbury picked Jack" Wright
up and made him what he is politically, it also is
that he never had a faithful follower The
political dscredit into which Wright has fallen
due TO excess Of zeal to uphold in Blackbird hun
dred the political fortunes of Salisbury. There even
those who suggest that many Of the shortcuts
taken by Wright to uphold the Salisbury machine
were made as a result Of orders received directly
from Wilmington.
In other words. after Jack" Wright has worked
early and and in sunshine and for Sauls-
/ bury. and after he has done things for Salisbury
which have brought him discredi with his friends
and nelghbors, Salisbury repays him by plotting
with Wrights emes for his political destruction. Al
reward for that treachery to Wright he hopes tc
obtain for United States Senator the vote of the man
whom he uses to destroy him.
For treaehery to a devoted friend and follower
the Blackbird hundred deal is one of the worst in
the history of Delaware We think Jack Wright
should be driven of politics; think his course
of political conduct has been such that il merits re-
huke from all decent Democrats in the district We
do not think. however that Salisbury should be one
Of those who deal the death blow That would
be outrageous return for him to make to Jack
Wright for many years Of faithful and sef-sacrhcne
work in his behalf The man who sacrifices his time
his money, his energy and his political character foi
another benefit is least deserving Of neutral
ity from that beneficiary when he finds himself with
his back against the wall and battling manfully
his political existence.

1ooKs WE'LL FOR GORMLEY.

~ EMoCRATs in the Second Senatorial District in
- this city are fortunate in having in the field for
the Senatorial nomination Of the mental caliber
and decency of Thomas f. Gormey. His record in the
city tax office and a member Of the House Of Rep
resentatives has made him exceedingly popular with
the voters in his home district
The Second Senatorial District is normally and al
most hopeessly Democratic. Too often in such dis
tricts the feeling prevails among the voters that any
man will do represent them in the Senate or the
House That however is not In the Fifth Represen-
tative District and the Second Senate District, in
which Mr. GormIey resides The Democratic voters
there have discovered seemingly that it pays send
good men to Dover They showed it when they sent
Mr. Gormley to the House, and his friends say they
will show It again by sending him to the state Sen
ate
The worst that can be said about Mr.. Gormley is
that he is a hide-bound Democrat He represents po-
litical principles which in common with millions
Of other Americans, refuse TO accept We feel how
ever that is better have decent and intelligent
hde-bound Democrat in the Legislature than one who
is hde-bound, but who lacks both decency and intel
llgence On questions which not political, the
people can obtain the former valuable legislative
service which they cannot obtain from the latter.

greatly TO elect General Harrison to

money saved and he replied that he
had very little. told him he had

he had into cheap lands In the west

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Singer That Helped
Elect a Wing President
BY Holland.

A few days after the death of Os-
sian L. Dodge in 1875 at his home
near St. Paul, Minnesota, Thurlow
Weed, the great New York political
leader and maker of Whig Presi-
dents, then I'm his 85th year, spoke
with great enthusiasm of the past
Mr.. Dodge played in the Presidential
campaign of 1910.
Il first heard Ossian E. Dodge. [
should say, about 1886. when he came
to Albany. n. y, then my home, to
sing. He was then a concert singer
OF national reputation. He wrote
poems and set music to them. ballad
style, and made them very popular
because he appealed to anything
which was the sentiment OF the time.
He was I'm great demand as a singer
for temperance societies. He was
a great actor upon the platform.
never heard a comic opera singer
who played his part or sang It more
effectively than Mr.. Dodge did. I
Was greatly impressed with a song
which Mr.. Dodge wrote Of which the
refrain was For Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give us all farm. The
way Dodge sang that made every
person who heard him feel that he
was entitled TO get farm from
Uncle Sam
After William Henry Harrison was
nominated for President by the
Wings, IN 1S40, It suddenly occurred
to me one day That we ought to have
Ossian b. Dodge as one of our lead
ing campaigners.
There was a great deal of agita-
ton at that time over the manner in
which the government could distrib-
u'ts government lands to settlers.
General Harrison was in favor of a
very liberal apportionment Of PUBLIC
lands to actual settlers. He believed
in that way the western country
would rapidly increase in population

when he called upon me | asked him
II he remembered a song he used to
sing in which he proclaimed that
Uncle Sam ought 10 give every man

had struck the right note with the

MONAGHAN 4 BRACE GAME VICTIM

+ VEN those who are not in sympathy with the po-
IL litical views and aims Of State Senator Thomas
NJ Monaghan OF this city cannot help sympathizing
with him a victim Of Salisbury conspiracy. They
know that Senator Monaghan entered the fight for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomipation in good faith
They feel that he did il by the invitation Of Will
lard Salisbury. The fact that Salisbury introduced
Monaghan TO Woodrow Wilson as Ythe next Governor
Of Delaware" is proof that he led Monaghan TO be-
lieve that he not only would receive the nomination.
but also the election We feel that If Salisbury
had told Senator Monaghan he simply desired to use
him 10 capture delegates. the Senator would have de-
cined TO permit himself to he used for such pur-
pose. He has too much respect for himself to be
used as tool and 100 high regard for his friends
and followers to play such scurvy trick upon them

that the Senator would be nominated for Governor
Senator Monaghan was Of the last to realize
