II HOSE Progressive Republicans in Delaware who
favor tho election Of Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt to the Presidency and continuance OF Republic
control State, did splendid work in their
state Convention in Dover yesterday They endorsed
tho three nominees for Presidential electors previous
y named by the so-oalled Alice Sucker" Convention;
nominated John G. Townsend, a prominent Progress
sye Republican in county for Representative
Ia Congress- and then endorsed the entire State ticket
of the Regular Republicans without making single
change in it, by doing they destroyed whatever
hopes the Democrats had Of carrying our State and
gave practical assurance that Charles r. Miller Of
this county will be tho next Governor Of Delaware

the enthusiasm with which It's action greeted and

of Colonel Roosevelt and the State at heart
Il is unfortunate that the real Progressves in our

type Of citizen and OF marked ability Those

WILSON AND SMITH.

From the Salem Standard.
The attack of Governor Wilson
upon former Senator Smith, because
that gentleman aspires again to a
seat in the United States Senate and
proposes TO submit his name to tho
Democratic voters next Tuesday
under Wilson's pet primary law, was
not only uncalled for but likely TO
make a martyr of Mr. Smith, Prac-
tically every newspaper in the State
has criticized the Governor for his
statement. The inconsistency of Mr..
Wilson is strikingly illustrated in this
incident for two years ago when that
joke who is now seated I'm the United
States Senate by Governor Wilson's
aid, was being considered, Mr.. Smith
was bowled out as a candidate be-
cause he had not submitted his can
didacy to the people. Now when he
does become candidate under the
primary law, the Governor jumps into
the fray and practically orders the
Senator TO go away back and sit down.
That all these attacks on the for
mer Senator are creating a certain
sympathy for him cannot he denied.

WILL asuCKERsy BITE.

From the Dover Republican.
The Hon. J. Frank Alice. head of
the Bull Moose party which met and
named a ticket here last week, is
credited with saying that that ticket
was simply put up to catch suckers -
and with adding "as for us we shall
vote the straight Democratic ticket -
BY "us" it is presumed Mr. Alice
meant beside himself Caleb r. Lay
ton, Robert G. Houston, Louis A.
Drexler, George B. HynsOn and a few
other leaders of the Democratic trap
movement they have inaugurated.
This scheme, hatched by these would
be party wreckers, has been potent
to every loyal Republican in the
State for months. Each one of these
men has in days gone by been honored
by the Republican party, and It is
simply because that party refused to
give several of them life leases on
Office holding that they have deter
mined TO do their best or worst to-
wards wrecking the party which they
are now betraying.
Robert G. Houston in the Sussex
Republican of which he is owner and
editor, labors hard to cover up the

the unwary and he tries to hoodwinS
Republicans by declaring that this
Sucker" ticket as Mr. Alice has
named II, will draw largely from the
Democratic vote of the State
To expose the fallacy of this, il
is only necessary to point TO the, fact
that every Democratic paper in the
State is praising the course of these
"wreckers" and urging Republicans
to support them. The Delawarean,
for instance, recognized as the lead
ing Democratic weekly paper of the
State is lavish in its praise Of the
movement" and describes the ticket
named as worthy OF support"
Former Senator Alice may not have
exhibited much diplomacy In his re-
marks concerning the ticket he help
ed to name. but he was undoubtedly
honest in the assertion that it was
simply put up to catch Suckers. 81
Now the query naturally arises will
theer be any Republicans foolish
enough to play the role of Suckers
for the Democratic Annex? We think
there will be but few.

THE CAMPAIGN.

From the Dover Index.
Six weeks from next Tuesday will
be election day. The Democratic
state, county and district tickets have
been nominated. The Democratic
platform is sound, sensible and pro-
gressive, and the nominees, while not
in some instances the best that could
have been selected, are nevertheless
the Democratic nominees. Further can
didates when elected are merely i'm
.struments in carrying out party
principles, and while one man could
make a better fight before the peo-
pie for certain principles and do more
toward enforcing party pledges than
another, yet the principles are involv-
ed, and those who question the wis
dom of nominations should Loyalty
support the ticket because of the
principles at stake, if for no other
reason.

BUSINESS BOOMING.


From the Newark Post.
Each days brings news Of the fall
libility of old political axioms. Past
experience, in the realm Of politics,
is getting to be a very poor instruc-
tor. Conservatives who rely implic-
lily on her teachings fail to explain
daily events in the business world.
Political history teaches us that the
year of National elections makes
poor showing I'm the business world.
Election year is one always feared
by the little business man He is un-
able to withstand the slump Of un-
certainty and probable change of
economic policy.
But this year, with more conflict of
opinion than sipce the COS, there has
appeared no sign of lack Of conf
dence Instead of this, reports from
all over the country show promise
of not only continued but increasing
prosperity. Railroad orders can al
ways be taken as barometric of busi-
ness activity. They are placing large
orders with the steel operators and
outlining plans Of extensive improve
ments. Orders. urging shippers to aid
in preventing car shortage, have been
| issued. The only fear expressed by
the railroads is of car famine and
| their inability to guarantee trans.
portation for the enormous crops that
are IN prospect. The Steel Mills arc
reporting heavy orders. And what.

campaigns, their operation measures
