ONE MORE CHANCE FoR.vorERs
October 18th Next. the Last Oppor-
tunitY Given to Qualify For a Vote
at the Coming Election

Only one more Registration Day is
left for the voters of this town and
State to qualify for exercising their
right of suffrage at the coming cleo
tion. This only remaining chance is
Saturday, October 18th. Last Satur-
day Sept. 21, Registrars George w.
Cunning and Frances f. Postles at
the two registration places in this
town put on 233 names making a total
OF 858 names. Of this Registrar Gun
ming put on los and Registrar Postles
l28. AS the vote in Duck Creek
amounts to somewhere in the neighbor
hood of 1000 votes it will be seen that
the leaders have only between $50
and zoo names to qualify to bring the
registration up to normal. The fact
that so many voters have taken care
OF this matter so early, shows the
keen interest in the coming election.
Those who want to vote at the coming
election must bear in mind that Oct.
18th is the last opportunity they will
have to register

DELAWARE RIVER CHANNEL
Three Points Between League Island
and Schooner Ledge to be Dug Out

Preparations to push work on the
thirty-tive foot channel for The Della
ware River, in a more vigorous man
ner than heretofore attempted have
been completed by Colonel Kuhn,
United States engineer in charge of the
improvement. All of the plans cover
ing the project have been approved by
the War Department and returned to
Colonel Kuhn to await orders from
Washington. 1t is expected that in
structiOns to Immediately start upon
the work at three different points
between League Island and Schooner
Ledge, will be received from Wahing-
ton early next week. Up to date,
the channel has been dredged to a
thirty-five foot depth at several points
where there are bends in the river,
but it is the intention of Colonel Kuhn,
as soon as orders are received, to begin
the work at three important points in
the stream and keep plants at work
until they are obliged to quit because
of weather conditions.

EFFORT TO HAVE cHAUTAuouA
Smyrna to Work up Interest For
Course Next Year

Miss Hershey, representing the
Chautauqua Association of Swarth-
more, Pa, visited Smyrna yesterday
with the view of creating interest in a
Chautauqua course for next spring.
She had a personal interview with sew
eral representative citizens and made
special point to visit Mrs. Alice M.
Read, president of the Twentieth
Century Club of Smyrna, with the
view of having the ladies club take
hold of the movement for the good
of the club and town of Smyrna. The
result was that arrangements were
made to have DR.. A. E. Turner, assis-
tant director of the association, visit
the Century Club on Friday afternoon,
October 11th, at 8. 80 O'Clock to pres
ent the work. For some reason Smyr-
ma failed to take hold of the Chautau-
qua last spring when representatives
of the association visited Smyrna.
Dover, Laurel, Georgetown, Chester
town, EastOn, Elkton and other towns
of the peninsula were so delighted
with the course of instruction and en-
tertainment afforded them, they have
decided to have it again next year.
Such high-class talent can only be
gotten in this way. Besides this it
advertises the town and arouses the
best sentiment. Many are hoping
Smyrna will arrange to accept the
course next year.

"REAL" PROGRESSIVES PUT
A TICKET IN THE FIELD
JOHN G:TOWNSEND, OF SELBY-
WILLIE, NAMED FOR CONGRESS
Endorse Original Progressive Electors
and the Republican State Ticket
With the Exception of Hall

The National Progressive party
was formed at a State convention in
Dover Thursday 1t is an outcome of
the bolt from the original Progressive
convention in Dover last Wednesday
week by number of delegates from
Wilmington and New Castle County.
The split was due to refusal of the
Progressive party number one to in
dorse any of the Republican State
nominees. The convention Thursday
nominated Colonel John G. Townsend,
of Selbyville, Sussex County, for Rep
resentative in Congress, the fourth
candidate for that office in this State.
The others are: George H. Hall. Mil
ford, Republican; State Senator
Louis A. Drexler, Bethany Beach,
Progressive; Franklin Brockson, Clay
ton, Democrat. Although Mr.. Hall
was refused Endorsement because of
his Taft proclivities, the remainder of
the Republican, State ticket named on
August 20 was ratified. The new
Progressives will also indorse the
Republican county and legislative NOM
nations Throughout Delaware. The
most important feature of Thursdays
convention was the acton of General
T. Coleman dupont, Republican nation
al committeeman from this state, in
using his influence by long distance
telephone from New York at the
eleventh hour, and calling off the Re-
publican leaders in their plan to stam-
pede the gathering and force an
Endorsement of Hall for Congress.
This was the issue upon which the
Republican organization and the heads
of Progressive party number two di-
vided. The name of National Progress
sive party was decided upon, together
with the "Scale of Justice" as the
emblem for the ballot. The question
of the number of delegates to future
State conventions of the party was
left with the new State Committee,
representation according to population
being kept in mind. A State commit
tee was created, consisting of "a
members, including the prospective
chairman. The Roosevelt electors
named by the Progressives last week
were ratified. They are: Francis l.
dupont, Wilmington; Samuel H. Derby
Woodside; George W. Stradley, Laurel.
The new platform was read by Mr..
Rawlins. After indorsing the candi-
dacy of Roosevelt and johnson, it
is, in part, as follows: 1--WE strongly
approve of the development of ma
tional system of inland waterways,
and as a part thereof the immediate
acquisition by the Federal Government
of the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal, to further legitimate competi-
tion between carriers by rail and
water, to increase the safety of navi-
cation and provide for quick and safe
dispatch of certain classes of naval
vessels. eve favor direct primaries
throughout the State of Delaware for
all public offices, except the judici-
airy, and of the abolition of the party
convention and its adjunct, the caucus.
"We believe that the good roads
movement is one of the signs of advan-
cling civilization, and that with proper
methods of taxation and collection of
revenues these, together with other
public works, can be carried on with
out additional expense to the State. -
