MR.. DALEY FOR
REFERENDUM
Tells Democratic League Men,
berS legislation is Not
AnarChiStiC
THINKS POWER SHOULD
Be IN HANBS OF PEOPLE

Alexander NJ. Daley, of Dover,
nember Of the Kent County Bar AS
sociation, and former Chancellor John
L. Nicholson, Of this city, addressed
the Democratic League last evening.
Mr.. Dalcys subject was Some Prob
-tems for Delawareans. During his
discourse Mr.. Daley announced that
he was an advocate of the Initiative
and Referendum. In this respect he
said:
This is not anarchistic. It solely
means the returning of the power of
the government to the people. and
this to my mind is where it belongs.
I do not criticise the strong form OF
government adopted over 100 years
ago but ! heartily believe in this
measure which returns to the people
their usurped rights. Furthermore,
should an unfortunate judicial APP
pointment be made. believe the
people should have the right TO re-
call that judge. yet | have the great
est respect for the capable and up
right members of our judiciary. In
event of an unsuitable judge being
placed upon the bench the people
should have the same right to criti-
else his acts that they would have to
recall an incompetent civil officer"
The speaker discussed the low sal
aries paid school teachers and said:
Yet with the important mission the
teacher has in the community. find
that down the state that we pay our
teachers but $500 or S400 year. This
condition has resulted in all the male
teachers resigning their posts and
leaving nothing but little girls to take
their places. In this connection, let
me say that I have nothing but the
highest praise for those girl teach
ers, but | question whether they are
as well fitted to instruct the juvenile
mind in civic righteousness as they
should be.
Let me say that am not in favor
of our party waiting until after the
Republican convention to construct a
platform. The Democratic party in
this state need no longer remain on
the defensive, but should meet and
AAaW uH a oAaAN BAdAAbAAn NolioAA ~
tive, not negative, and leave it to the
opposition to try to fix laws. United
Democracy means victory, and we
should declare clearly out principles
and carry the war into the enemy's
camp"
Former Chancellor Nicholson said
it gave him great pleasure once more
10 be free TO discuss Democratic
principles and join in the fight for
better government. He added.
Victory seems TO be in the air
and / hope that our platform shall
mean what we think nd say what we
