TIE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.

From the Dover Delawarean.
We believe that we can at this
time render no greater service to the
Democratic party, and indeed to the
State Of Delaware, than again to urge
with all possible emphasis the inn
portance OF proper Democratic nomin-
ations. Strong nominations arc more
than important; they are absolutely
necessary If the Democratic party is
to carry the State or even to make
a reasonably hopeful battle
There is no greater menace to
Democratic prospects in Delaware
at this time than overconfdence. The
feeling is too prevalent that the split
in the Republican party assures
Democratic success and that a nomin-
alton this year means an election.
Far from it. The Democratic party
has a chance, probably the best
chance it has had for some years,
but whether that chance is to amount
to anything or not depends largely on
the Democratic party and what It
shall do
1t has been years since the Demo-
cratic party has carried Delaware.
Not for twenty years has there been
Democratic plurality in the State.
eXcept twice for part Of the ticket and
in both those instances merely as the
result Of two Republican tickets.
We are not unmindful Of the fact
that this year the Republican party
has lost some of its best members
and some Of the men formerly most
prominent in its councils. They have
gone into the new Progressive party.

DIsAPPONTMENr ro ENEMIrs.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Republican State Convention
appears to have been a disappoint-
ment to the opposition of all varieties.
1t both challenged and stifed criti-
cism. An earnest, orderly conven-
ton, it met and solved the problem
of an involved political situation, and
made no mistakes. The platform rings
true-is in harmony with the record
OF the party in both State and Nation.
Its candidates are above criticism. ex-
cept as the opposition regards all
true and tried Republicans as targets
for misrepresentation and abuse
Such opposition should prove its best
and most effective recommendation to
Republicans who realize the import
ance of this election.
Important as the coming National
election is, and that it is difficult to
overestimate. the State campaign is
to Delaware Republicans still more
important. Whatever else may divert
thought and hinder action. Republi-
cans must not forget that in this cam
paign they are fighting the same
enemy-the same party-under the
same leadership that held the State
in rebellion AGAINST the National
government-against the reconstruct
ed Union.-for forty years after the
Civil War. The party that gave Della
ware the most dishonest and tyran-
nical Of State governments. Demo-
cratic success at the next election
means. If that be possible. a return
to the dishonor and tyranny

TOMATO CANNING FLOURIsHING.

From the Milton Times.
The Delaware tomato packing in
dustry has grown so rapidly within
the past few years that the farmers
are compelled to plant more than
twice as many vines as they had pre-
viously been doing.
Only within the past year there
have been 2S new factories erected
on this peninsula and all Of them
fitted with the latest machinery to
work with. If there is the steady in
crease in the next five years this
peninsula will probably be the tomato
packing section of the country.
What will very likely be a source
of trouble TO the packers in the future
is the question Of help. Previously
there was always enough residents in
the section where the factory was to
supply plenty of help, but there is
not 1 tenth enough, so that the pack
ers have to go to Baltimore and other
cities and there ship foreigners to
do the work.

hooves every Democrat in every dis
trict Of Sussex to get busy during
the coming week selecting strong
men to be voted for as delegates.
Meetings should be held in every
