didate for President of the United
States and a candidate for Vice-Presi-

Clark seems to be in the lead. and
he probably has the best chance Of
being named as our Standard Bearer.
However, he has not enough votes
pledged to him TO assure his nomi-
nation, and either Wilson. Harmon.
Underwood or some dark horse"
may be named The fight between the
several aspirants has been carried on
IN very friendly way. no personali-
ties being injected into the fights. In
contrast the Republican sspirants
have been saying many ugly things
about each other. If only one-half
of them he true il is a great big
question whether either of Them is a
proper man to be at the head Of this
nation It looks like the people think
that way and were about ready 10

VOTERS CONDEMN CHARTER

TT is unfortunate that the Charter Commission
framed a proposed city charter that appealed
with little force to the favor and sympathy of the
voters Of tho city Of Wilmington did the one which
was submitted to them Saturday for their APP
proval or disapproval There is no question that the
present city charter defective in several respects but
it has whsood attacks covering many years and out
lived all the substitutes that have been offered With
all its antiquity and mperfectons it has continued to
inspire the people with fondness for it, and they have
shown it whenever opportunity has offered.
The agitation far charter has peen in progress
many years Substitute after substitute for the old
charter has proposed and attack after attack has
heen made upon our ctys organic law It exists to-
day II has whilst ood all assaults no matter from what
source they have come and the vote on Saturday only
oshow that it's position is stronger today than
ever has been Those been urging the people of
our city to accept this latest charter offering had ample
time and opportunity try and convince the voters It
was good thing of public meetings we're held.
hundreds Of columns matter in its favor we're pub
lshed In the newspapers and much individual work
was done Ia tho several wards. And yet when the
question Of the acceptance the rejection OF the pro-
posed charter put fairly and squarey up to the
voters the work of the commission was repudiated by
an overwhelming vote That was the verdict and II
was given IN special election in which there was no
other issue confuse distract prejudice the mind Of
the voter There was before him question II was
whether he desired the work Of the Charter Com
mission 20 supercede the present charter negative
reply was made with an emphasis that convincing.
The election returns doubt in the mind of any
one relative to tho sentiment of the community.
No doubt tho result the election is disappointing to
the men who worked long In framing the charter
draft and urging its acceptance. We feel sure how
ever that they who know how to bow grace
fully 10 public WILL aud that they will acquiesoe In
the popular verdict Notwithstanding against them
They that the special election In the nature

the taxpayers. Had the vote gone their they
would have insisted that the Legislature out the
expressed will Of the people As the vote against
the proposed charter spirit of far-pay must impel
them to refrain any effort induce the Legisa-
ture 20 enact into law that which has been repudated
by the electorate Of our city.

From the Georgetown Union Repub-

fruit will decay on the vines Next

Good Roads Movement

Because of the extended debate on the proposition to extend fed eral aid to the construction of state roads, there has been talk of hav- ing meetings of the house of repre- sentatives at night in order that the business before it might be fin ished so that an adjournment could be taken before the national con- ventions are held. However, MT. Mann, of Illinois asserted that thera would be no trouble in getting away by June 1st if the senate would but get its work done. Nevertheless, the date when congress will ad- journ seems to be as much in doubt now as it has been at any time during the session.
 Talking about appropriations for roads. the house had a long debate over the question. Mir. Mann of Illinois said he recognized the fact that probably the time had come when the national. government in some form or other would give aid out of the federal treasury for the construction of roads, and he be- lieved that whether the Shackel- ford bill would involve a present expense of $1O,OOO,OOO or s20,0OO,- 900 year, the expense would amount ultimately to hundreds of millions of dollars.

 In all probability the one woman in all the world whom she knows better than any other is Madame Karin.

Cameron Bonds His Mines

Having closed two mining deals which will net him over $5, ,0O0, ,OOO, Ralph H. Cameron, builder of the Bright Angel trail into the Grand Canyon, and Arizona's last territo- rial delegate in congress, arrived in Phoenix today, directly from the east. He has given bonds and op- tions on 35 mining claims just off the trail in the Canyon. The pur- chasers intend to place immense milling plants on the ground and to construct an electrical plant that will generate between 15,OOO and 10000 horse power.
 A Philadelphia syndicate has taken over seven claims near the Indian Gardens, half way from the rim to the bottom of the canyon. Twenty-eight claims, a little farther down toward the Colorado have been bonded by New York invest ors, who have already organized company and are planning to in- stall necessary machinery.
 Electric power is to be developed where the water drops from the h. dian Gardens into Pipe creek. There is a drop of HOO feet at this place. The power will be used to operate the milling plants and will be sold to other persons who re- quire it.-Arizona Democrat.
