Cochran Democrats term expired, occastoned little
surprise II had been discounted the last days
by ciroumstautla that he would be appointed
and those rumors were accepted true by most
sons who had been following the drift Of political
events
Mr. churchman Is an able lawyer who has had wide
and varied experience, ind he should make splendid
judge Of the Municipal Court The fact that he has
been for many years ardent and active partisan may
make his appointment displeasing to certain Demo-

The appointment Of Mr. Churchman to the judge
ship has brought pleasure large circle OF personal
professional and political friends. They predict for
him brilliant administration OF the important judicial
Office to which he has been appointed. Our opinion
is that he viii give TO the Municipal Court and It's
proceedings dignity and impartality which viii be
pleasing TO the public and to all who may have bus

He born in Wilmington, has an unusually fine
understanding OF the history and traditions Of our city

sympathy and iberalty Of mind that think that the
rich and the poor and the fortunate and the unfortun-
ate will receive from him eyen-handed justice, which
is all that anyone has a right to expect We extend
to Judge churchman our hearty congratulaton and
wish him all the distinction and honor that possibly

n HERE are in Delaware many voters who will de-
sire to vote for the Roosevelt electors and the
Republican State ticket prevent the State falling
into the hands OF the discreded Democratic machine
To all such we desire to say that they should be
careful to vote the ticket that scales the top
OF It for the party emblem. That Is the ticket Of the
real National Progressves In this State The bull
moose emblem is being used by the so-called sucker
Progressivea who are led by organized band Of
political renegades upon turning the State

emblem at the top OF It Is the that Frank Alice,
former political for Willard Salisbury the
Democratic boss In this State said he and his
rates would place In the field to be voted for by
"suokers while he and his felow-consplrators would
vote the Democratic ticket

Republicans who favor Colonel Roosevelt and at the
time favor the election Of Charles r. Miller and
the other Republican state nominees, print here

cuARDINe AGAINST DEMOCRATIC BRIBERs.

THE Republican organization is taking comprehen-
l siye and systematic steps TO guard the impend-
ing election against the influence of Democratic
bribers Detectives already have been employed to
work in all the districts in several places they al
ready duty
There have been persistent rumors Of Demo
cratic scheme to brbe colored voters 20 remain away
from the polls on election day. Crcumstantal in
formation bearing that scheme already is in the
hands of the Republican State committee and the
several county committees It is the purpose to swear
out for the arrest OF all who participate in
such scheme, but 10 take action until conclusive
and convcting proof is in hand lay before the At
torney-General with demand for energetic action.
1t is regarded significant by the Republican leaders
that in the Of the Democratic demand for pure
election the Dover Delawarean, Democratic organ,
denounced publicly Democratic scheme TO buy up
venal in State That and other information
indicating a Democratic conspiracy to buy the State
have impelled the Republican leaders TO for
detectives and watchers in all districts. The men
will operate under a general head and the watchers
and detectives assigned to particular district will be
held responsible for electoral conditions in that par
tcuar district BY such systematic arrangement
II is expected confidently that the Democratic vote
buying other corruption schemes will be blocked

- OOD roads advocates throughout the country have
NJ welcomed the action Of the American Road Con-
gress in endorsing the proposition that the Federal
Government shall aid the good roads work and also
the project the construction Of great ocean-o-
ocean highway to be built with funds contributed
largely by those engaged in the automobile and allied
industries.
That the National government should continue the
poicy of Federal aid highways construction adopted
by the present Congress- without waiting for object
lessons in the shape Of privately constructed trans
continental roads was the opinion of the Congress-
expressed in its first and most important resolution
In this it endorsed the attitude of the A. A. A., which
has consistently been that before particular route
for National road system be ntelligenty Sc
eced there be adopted definite policy Of appro-
prations and expenditures and the proper admnistra-
tive machinery providing for the economical distrbu-
tion of available The action of the Congress Of
the United States in appropriating $5O00O0 for ex-
perimental road construction and appointing joint
committee report upon comprehensive plan for
further Federal aid was endorsed by the Road Con-
gress as we'll as the proposal to create National
department Of Good Roads separate branch of

OF great historic patriotic Importance. was the
action of the Road Congress in endorsing the resou-
ton for which the A. A. A. has continuously stood
out that the National memorial to Abraham Lincoln
should take the form of great highway with suitable
architectural approaches and adornment, extending
from Washington TO the Battlefield of Gettysburg, and
eventually to be continued southwark to Richmond.
Equally important was the adoption Of the resolu
ton calling upon Congress for suitable provision for
the construction of first class highway leading from
the city Of Washington to the National Cemetery a
Arlington. The deplorabe condition Of this road II

proportion of the yearly maintenance
