BLAIR LEE FoR SENATE.

From the Salisbury News.
From the best of information 1t
seems certain that Hon. Blair Lee
will be a candidate for the United
States Senate to fill out the unex-
pired term of the late Senator Ray
ner. The announcement of Senator
Lee is likely to be made within a
very few days and he will probably
make the same aggressive campaign
which he made for Governor last
year. Senator Lee is probably one
of the closest men in Maryland to
President-elect Wilson and he will
have a powerful influence with the
President after his inauguration next
March.
There is certainly no more capa-
BILE man I'm the State to represent our
Commonwealth in the Senate than
the Hon. Blair Lee. He is a man Of
fine literary attainments, a skilled de-
bator, a man of the widest acquaint-
ance with public men, thoroughly
capable in every way to fill the po-
sition and with his immense wealth
able to finance an aggressive cam
paign. Add to all these things the
fact that he is a past master in the
art of politics and there is certainly
nothing to be left unsaid in his favor.

THE GRANGE.

From the Newark Post
AS an organization that holds to
its ideals and at the same time grasps
strongly the practical duties of the
hour, the Grange stands prominently
worthy of attention. With keen
business sense, it takes up questions
of State. Nation and home and with
that inbred hope common to farmers,
studies the issue and hammers away
until success is assured
The State Oranges are with us
this week and right welcome, they are
Fitting 1t is, too, for the fundamental
principle of the order is the home,
realizing its ideal in an educated cit
iZenship. The interest displayed i'm
the College by the Grange is most
promising and this convention will
mean a heartier appreciation and un-
derstanding of the needs and de-
mands of the hour.
An especially pleasing feature is
the agreement of the Charter Com
mittees The old Board in their spirit
of generosity have agreed on the
plans proposed and will probably deed
their portion of the College property
to the State. Judging from express
sions of appreciation and approval
these Trustees have builded better
than they knew"
To the minds of many. this will mean
a State wide interest and support
heretofore not experienced
Our columns are given to the
Grange news and we urge our read
ers to study carefully the address
made by the State Master, appearing
in full in this issue.
TO THE GRANGERS-
You are right welcome. Come again.

WILSON'S PANIC WARNING.

pRESiDENT-ELECr WOODROW WILSON is so fear
ful that someone will start business panic af-
ter he becomes President that he threatens panic
starters with the gibbet Of public disgrace 1t was at
the annual banquet of the Southern Society in New
York that he issued his note of warning to man
disposed resort to the panic-sartng device to dis
credit and block his economic policies.
Would it not be better for him to issue warning
to the Democratic members Of the Senate and House
not to bring about panic by reckless tinkering with
the tariff and the currency? The greatest danger of
financial and industrial panic lies in the fact that
a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress
have been elected and that in the main they have
mapped out legislative policy that is Identical with
the runous pursued By the il-starred Cleveland
administration
If there be, IN the Wilson administration another
panic such featured the Cleveland administration,
the Democratic President and his colleagues
try TO place the blame upon outside panic-starters.
The people viii place the blame whore it properly
belongs.
Evening journal., 1912-12-20
EDITORIAL OPINION

He has always been an organization
Democrat who supported the candi-
dates. Ia 1886 when thousands of
Democrats deserted the standard OF
Mr.. Bryan, Senator Lee opened head
quarters in Baltimore and made a
fight for the Commoner, paying all
his campaign expenses. While an
Organization man he is not a stand
patter, and today is recognized as
Progressive Democrat, who believes
in carrying out the pledges of his
party. and keeping faith with the
people. To such men as Lee the
rank and file must turn for relief
from the old conditions and to the
thousands of Democrats in Maryland
who voted and worked for Woodrow
Wilson the candidacy of Blair Lee
will appeal with special pleasure. His
wonderful campaign of last year
against the organized forces of the
old regime in Maryland demonstrates
clearly that he is the kind of man
who the people are willing to trust
His candidacy will appeal to the peo-
pie with much force and their only
regret will be that he answers the
call of duty to make this fight for
the Senate so as to be in a place TO
help uphold the hands of President
Wilson and may thereby remove him
as a candidate for Governor Of
Maryland three years hence

roR A GREArER pELAwARE.


From the Dover State News
The people Of Wilmington are again
agitating the question Of a combined
City Hall and county buildings. Such
a combination appears to be the logi-
cal demand OF the situation.
We publish a fine prospective view
on our second cover page.
We, in lower Delaware are inter-
ested in Wilmington more unselhshly
than many Of the residents of the city
are sometimes willing to give us
credit for We want to see the big
town up the road flourish like a green
bay tree as the saying is.
A combination Of New Castle county
and Wilmington in the erection of a
building would result in something
very much more impressive than
could be possible if each would have
its own building.
The plans as published appeal to
all. The location looking over a
beautiful public square towards the
dupont Hotel suggests a combination
that is very pleasing to us. It re-
wives our dreams of a greater Della
ware because 1t assures us that there
is to be greater Wilmington, for
down here we recognize that Will
mingtOn is an important part of Del
aware and nothing real good can come
to Wilmington that win not be good
for all Delaawre
We do not want to but in or advise.
but the published plans look as il the
realization of the project would be n
good thing for the city and State.

For many decades the Federal Government has
gagged ia morcess warfare against the manufacturers
of moonshne whiskey. Scores of revenue agents and
hundreds of moonshiners have been killed; thou
sands OF Illicit stills and hundreds Of thousands Of
gallons of Illicit whisley- have been destroyed and
yet according to the official admission of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue the evil is as bad
it has been That report shows that in the fiscal
1912 BAGS Illicit stills have been seized and that
substantially many such plants were seized in 1911.
Reports received by tho commissioner show that most
of the moonshine whskey is made in Virginia North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia Alabama and Ten
One of the greatest difficulties encountered by
the agents in the moonshne districts is that
public sentiment swings strongly in favor of the
moonshners, when they kill MAIN the reye-
nue. agents Until that sentiment swings to the side
of law and order it is not likely that the Govern
ments efforts to suppress the Illicit dstllers will be
successful.

NEgDED-A SIMPLER BALLOT LAW.

THERE are Democrats, who seemingly do not de-
sire TO know or to admit the truth who assert
that voters assistants needed under the pres
eut ballot law in this State. The best proof that
they arc needed and that they consulted by
voters as much as they should be, is that at each
election many hundreds OF ballots are marked inn
properly and thrown out of the count because of that
fact In reality, there have been Instances in which
such ballots had they been marked properly and
counted. would have changed the election results in
counties and legislative districts
We know of one of the most prominent lawyers i'm
Wilmington who confused So by the provisions
OF the ballot law that he spoiled ballots and IL
not until he had received the hop Of the as
sistants Chat be could mark the nfth ballot so it rep
resented his political sentiments. We know OF an
other prominent Wilmington lawyer who spoiled three
ballots The same way. What chance have many lay
men in voting under such law unless they be
prompted either before after they reach the voting
booth2 What Delaware needs is a simpler ballot law
and the voters assistant law should be repealed
until such a simple law has been enacted by the
Legislature.
