OF course, expect an equal share for

to promote more enthusiastic work

on September 10, that Kent county,

overwhelming results, may select
candidates for all the offices and yield

TAKE THE BEST MEN OFFERED.

VAYE already have emphasized editorially the
w supreme necessity for wise action by the Re-
publican State Convention when it in Dover
on next Tuesday What would constitute wise action
is very simple in its broad general lines. Il is to
nominate for the several important Offices who
are fitted to exercise the functions thereof and In
whom the voters have confidence and also to promu-
gate platform that will appeal TO the understanding
and the favor of those voters
This is year in which the Republican party must
keep to the constantly the fact that 1t must go
into the fight TO win. Beset on the one side by the
Democracy and on the other side by the Pro-
gressyes, the del egates to the State Convention
must get together calmly and ptelligently discuss
what ought TO be done to keep Delaware in the Re-
publican column And when they have decided what
ought 10 be done, the logical and proper thing is TO
20 ahead and do Il and then adjourn and return to
their respective districts and work TO make their plan
fully effective
There may be those who will insist that the can
didates for certain the offices be selected from
tain counties This is a year in which there should
be no pickering on county lines The best and strong
est and most popular should bo nominated for
each Office regardless Of the county in which he re-
sides. II New Castle county should offer poor can
didate for an Office which, under the rotation system,
should go a New Castle county man. and If Kent or
Sussex county should offer better and stronger
candidate then party wisdom would seem to dictate
that for public and party interest county lines be for
gotten. and that the better and the stronger be
nominated We know that counties cling iealously to
the principle of rotation and that rule they re-
any violation of that principle. We take IT, how
that the most ardent advocate Of rotation
according to counties will not hold that defeat due
adherence to that principle preferable victory
due to departure from II.
This is ordinary campaign. II ii we're Il
might be conducted along ordinary lines. It's
raordnary nature calls for the adoption of extraor
dinary means to win victory from t. The delegates
should enter the State convention on Tuesday not
as New Castle countans not Kent countans and
not Sussex countans but Deawareans deter
mined that their native State shall pass into Demo-
cratic hands simply because certain counties wish TO
certain candidates and certain candidates want
to hold certain Offices The situation is which
demands broad and liberal treatment. Il also is
which should call into play the loyalty and self-sacri-
fee Of all Republicans What the voters demand is
deserving and winning ticket regardless OF county
lines and the principle Of rotation Rotation good

putting the ticket any old thing that any county

MORE OF THE PoLICE-VCE SCANDAL.

Two of the police-protected auto-rding party of
assassins that killed Gambler Rosentha have been
caught in comfortable Brooklyn flat, where they
mad lived for two months.

and in effect protected them.

case against them in the flat, and taken by the
police. These have disappeared
These things give sinister view than ever
of New York police corruption. That bad officer
like Becker could organize a scheme of graft, and
protect it by methods of terrorism was not beyond
belief 1t did not necessarily break down all possible
confidence in the police organization of the whole
city.
But when the ramifcations of this league with
vice reach to distant part of Brooklyn, and the
police there found protecting the suspects whom
the police are supposed to be hunting to earth it is

MUNICIPAL EFFICIENCY PROBLEMS.

In Chicago the municipal bureau of efficiency
is concerning itself very earnestly with such minor
problems of city aborers. Take, for instance, the
work of the sreet-cleaner He draws mis- brush over
the ground on the back stroke. Or he gives it that
unnecessary little slap on the pavement at the end
of the forward stroke. There are some 1000 street.
cleaners doing this. Their brooms would last twice
long if they didn't do it; they could get on with
1000 brooms where now they use 1000.
Show the streetcleanerS the proper way to use
their brooms Take the same pains to cut out waste
of labor or material in all the depa ments and you
have in the aggregate very notable saving to the
taxpayer. The Chicago bureau is going through the
city service with fne-tooth comb to secure it, One
can hardly compute the total economies which will
have been effected when its experts have finished
their work; but Chicago will have been put on the
same basis as a well-organized business corporation
the kind of basis that means, in the case of the
corporation the ability to pay dividends.

ROOSEVELT AND THE STRAW BALLOTS

We have arrived at the straw ballot stage of this
campaign. They are just beginning to come in from
various sections of the country
So far they show surprisingly strong for Roose-
velt In most cases his vote is bigger than Wilson's
and immensely bigger than Taft's In others it is
bigger than Taft's and Wilson's combined.
The strange thing about this list is the large
Der of votes for Debs larger in many than for
Taft This is particularly true of some parts OF tn.
West.
So far these straw ballots largely from the
cities and in great measure from the upper levels
When the vote from the grass roots and the trenches
gets in it will further swell the Roosevelt tide.

PLATFORM OR CANDIDATE?

The Baltimore Sun which processes an almost
parental interest in the Democratic Presidential
didae says:
The Democratic idea is that monopolies have grown
in this country through their control of the markets
gained by illegal and harmful methods.
Evidently the Democratic platform is still used
occasionally the basis for Democratic editorials.
But if this is the Democratic idea, what kind of
a Democrat is Governor Wilson?
If his speech of acceptance was bona-fde pre-
senaton of his views he thinks that the organization
of business UPON great scale is both normal and
inevitable.
He thinks it only the result of worldwide eco
nomic tendency.
De doesn't believe that in the face of this ten
dency competition can be re-estabshed by law.
He thinks it probably never will be re-estabshed.
He doesn't believe big business dangerous to our
liberties-even economic liberties.
He is not afraid of it because it is normal.
Pursuing its line of argument the Sun adds
The Bull Moose idea is that monopoes have grown
up in obedience to natural law which declares that
efficiency depends upon size,
1t that the day of competition is over that
monopoes must exist and that the best the people
do is to regulate these monopoes well as possible
Which is more or less exact statement
What rafting coed Bull Mooser Governor Will
son is, to be sure
The question suggests itself:
Why, if anyone believes with Governor Wilson
