short, sharp and decisive campaign.
The candidates are to be congratu-
lated upon the spirit with which they
have entered into the contest. They

superior. They are inspired with a
firm determination TO secure the win
ming vote. no matter how hot the com
petition may become. and are devoting
their thought and energies to the at
tainment OF the victory. The girl OF

MONAGHAN VAS TRApEp.

FRIENDS Of State Senator Thomas NJ Monaghan,
defeated Democratic candidate for Governor,
never should forget that the knihng which defeated
their candidate done right here in New Castle
county the home county OF willard Salisbury, asprant
Tor United States Senatorial honors The official re-
turns from Kent and Sussex counties show that SEN
ator Monaghan received practically the solid support
Of the Democracy. There should be in the final hg-
ures ample food for thought for every Monaghan par
tsan. They make II clear that he was the victim Of
Democratic treachery in Saulsbury's home county
Nor the friends Of Senator Monaghan plead that
they we're not warned in ample time that he was be-
ing traded and knitted by the Salisbury Democratic
machine At least week before the election hat was
revealed by publication of warning Issued by the Re
publican committees that emissares of the Salisbury
Democratic machine offering to give Democratic
votes for Miller, Republican candidate Governor in
return for Republican for Democratic candidates
for the Legislature who understood to be favora
BILE TO the election Of Willard Salisbury to the United
States Senate. The Republican committees warned the
Republican voters to reject all such trading overtures
and that suggestive warning issued two or three
times in the week Immediately preceding the cleo
ton
II the Monaghan partsans took any steps to protect
the Democratic candidate for Governor from being
traded off and defeated by the Democratic machine,
the election returns show that those steps wholly
Ineffective.

THERE should be delay by the Postofice De-
partment officials in investigating the Mitchell
Lingo letter incident in this State and II circum-
stances should to it, turn the case over
70 the Department of Justice for action II will be re-
called that Major Edmund Mitchell. chairman of the
Republican State Committee, a letter and check
for $3.50 to r. d. Lingo, Jr Republican leader in Days
boro,. Sussex county That letter was delivered by
mistake by the mail carrier 90 r d. Lingo Sr. Dem
ocratic worker. Instead of It being returned at
once to the postal authorities it might be de-
livered to the person to whom il was addressed the
letter and the check accompanying it were placed In
the hands Of the Democrats and photographed so
eectroplates might be made of them for campaign
use
II was not until after that had been that
ter and check surrendered upon imperative de-
mand and threat of prosecution. The Democrats pub
hshed the letter and check broadcast without the
sent of Major Mitchell and the allegation made that
under Federal statute R. ID. Lingo Sr liable for
the part he played in what is generally as
despicable transaction Il is pleasing that the
Postonhce Department has become active in the mat
ter and is hoped that should the evidence obtained
to warrant 1t, the Department of Justice will
evince the same active interest in the
