for SenatOrShip, Down
State Talk
RIDGELY, GUILE AND
WOLCOTT ON THE SLATE

That Willard Salisbury, the Demo-
cratic boss is preparing to throw
down Senator Thomas NJ. Monaghan
in the latter's fight for the Guberna-
torial nomination, is story that
again came from down the State to-
day Several times this report has
been circulated, based on develop
ments of the campaign, and IL led to
a conference on Sunday of Senator
Monaghan, James Ford, Street and
Sewer Director Matthew ID. Murphy
and some other close friends of Mon
aghan with Mr. Salisbury at a resi-
dence on Delaware avenue. At the
conference Monaghan's friends let 1t
be known that they expect their man
to be nominated or there will be trou-
bic At the conference Salisbury is
said to have suggested that Charles
+ Curley be named for attorney gen
eral TO please friends of Monaghan in
event of the latter being defeated for
the Gubernatorial nomination.
According to the report today from
down the State, the ticket that Sauls-
bury is 10 advocate when the shake
down" comes is:
For Governor-Henry Ridgely, of
Dover.
For Congress--Charles W Cullen
Of Georgetown.
For Attorney-G y-General-Josish o.
Woicott of Wilmington.
This slate is openly talked of
among some of the Saul sbury lieuten-
ants down the State who say that It
would not be good politics" to nomi-
nate Monaghan for Governor at this
time. Monaghan is admitted to be in
the lead so far as New Castle countys
delegates ale concerned, with Fred
erick Brady of MiddletOwn. second,
but, according to the plan now dis
cussed, the situation is to be relieved
and Monaghan is 10 be let down easy
by switching the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation to Kent county.
Reasons given by the Salisbury
men for the new slate "frame-up"
are that Henry Ridgely would make a
strong candidate TO head the ticket,
that Charles W. Cullen IN addition to
being prominent party man is a
close friend of General 4. Coleman
DUPONT and because of that friendship
they look for no opposition from
General dupont to Mr. Cullen; and
because Mr. Wolsott is strong with
the Cd WolcOtt faction. antagonistic
TO Salisbury, which would be lined up
by his nomination In fact the three
men named in the slate are of the
wing of the party that is classed as
anti-Saulsbury.
One condition TO be imposed for
putting this slate through, the report
has IT, is that the anti-Saulsbury
Democrats. including the Gray-Bay-
ard-Wolcott following, are to give
Salisbury the Legislature so that il
that body is controlled by the Demo

willing to give the Gray-Wolcott fac

SUNDAYS FAMOUS
BOOZE sermon

About 1000 men attended the special
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
tabernacle to hear Mr.. Sunday give his
famous sermon on Booze, which was
spectacular in every detail. 1t was Al
address fun Of athletic and marching
stunts that delighted the audience and
held the interest until the last word
had been uttered. Fifty-cight con-
verts were made at the meeting.
During the the evangelist
took the red nag of the anarchists
and Emma Goldman and deposited it
carefully at one side Of the platform
and then ran and jumped on 1t from
another corner of his pulpit. To IL
l~ustrate a point made in regard to the
excess of cost Of the finished prbduc-
ton Cver the raw material Of differ
ent manufacturing mills, and he turned
to a group Of boys he had on the plat
form with him to show that the gin
mills raw material was greater than
it's finished product. t was an illus
tration that caught the fancy of every
man in the place, and there were
nearly $500 from out of the city in
attendance.
The Booze sermon was filled with
many statistics concernins the sale Of
liquor in different states of the coun-
try and with many gruesome stories
of horror and b~loodshed that have re-
suited from the drink terror that has
swept the country. 1t was evident that
every man in the audience was moved
by the great appeal he made.
, He'll Spot in New York.
Five Spots, in New York, vas q
spot as near like hell as any spot
on earth. There are five streets that
run to this point, and right in the
middle was an old brewery, and the
streets on either side were lined with
grog-shops. The newspapers turned a
searchlight on the district, and before
they could stop Il, the first thing they
had to do was to buy the old brewery
and turn it into a mission, and today
it is a decent, respectable place.

mother of sins. It is the appalling
