Great is the Hon. John.

Great is the Hon. John Redmond,
chairman of the public service COM
mission, for which job, along with
other official activities -hor- draws
$4,000 per annum from the state,
The Wilmington Times supplies the
figures. He also has tidy law
practice which must take little Of
his time, and yet he was at liberty
to-stump the state in behalf of the
Republican ticket, which received
considerably less than the majority
of the popular vote on September
third
As salaried public servant the
Democrats and bull moosers had an
equal right 10 the Hon. Johns ser
vices as spellbinder, yet his par
tiality falls to rankle. for it 'is the
sentiment of the press and public
that the Democrats and bull moosers
prohted quite as much. or more,
than did the head of the Republican
ticket.
One hates to think of what may
happen to the Hon John if there il
anything like an equal division Of
votes in that body when it comes to
choosing state officers for the next
two years.
