xAT r WONDER II state Senator Thomas NJ Mon
w agban Of this city is gullible TO believe
that Willard saulshurl sincerely and squarey back
Of him in his contest for the Democratic nomination
for Governor? II he 49, speaks poorly hla po-
ltca wisdom. n rumor from inside sources be true
Ross Salisbury merely is using Senator Monaghan To
assist him ia getting the fifteen Wilmington delegates
10 the Democratic state Convention next month The
story goes that Mr Salisbury really is behind tho
candidacy of General Theodore Armstrong. Of New
ark and that his friends Ia the rural districts
working openly for General Armstrong That Is par
tcularly true OF Sussex county. The understanding
that Boss salisbury feels that f by using Senator
Monashan. he get the fifteen Wilmington dele
and later swing them General Armstrong no
land his candidate for Governor and smooth
Senator Monaghan aftervard
u ia regarded significant that both Boss salisbury
and General Armstrong were in Rehoboth on last Sat
urday and SUNDAY. They STAYED At tho Hotel Hen
open on Saturday night Boss saulsbury spent most
Of hs time leading General Armstrong about and in
Producing him TO prominent Sussex county Democrats
who were there ON last Sunday and Monday dis
covery was made that of the Democrats Of prom
nence in Sussex county who usually are classed aa
Salisbury men booming General Armstrong for
the gubenstoral nomination.
In fact the feeling now is general that Boss ssula-
bury has perfected plans Go Senator Monaghan
to got tho Wilmington dclceaton then sacrifice
him for General ArmsrouEs benefit II certainly
means something when the Salisbury followers In
Wilmington arc working for Senator Monaghan and
those In the rural districts arc working for General
Armstrong
No doubt the friends Of Senator Monaghan viii not
relish such doa AZ his expense They may find
consolation however in tho that there arc promi-
pen Democrats in the state who openly that the
revolt against Boss Salisbury has assumed such pro-
portions that nc will control the state Convention
and dictate the nominations.

A POLITICAL RUsE.

From the Newark Post
Democratic candidates are begin
ming TO use one of their time-worn
methods of canvassing Approaching
some Republican friend they ask if
he will not favor them with a COM
vote. They argue that,
''of course I stand no chance of cleo
tion, but should like to make as good
a showing ss possible. I have some
enemies in my own party tnat threat
en- to cut me. Your vote would not IN
any way embsrrsss the success of
your candidate and IT would present
me in q better light to my own coun
ty committee. ] want TO make a good
showing in my home community
etc"
It means just this If he can play
on the friendship of enough of his
Republican friends. willard Sauls-
bury will receive one more vote for
United States Senator.
OF course. a Democrat who is SIN
care in his belief of Democratic doc
triue. and has the nerve to lend hi1
assistance to the Perennial" will So
cast his vote But let no Republican
by casting a complimentary vote for
some Democratic friend. lend aid tc
such election. II ia an old ruse-thif
innocent plea-and every Republican
should be wary Of being such a vic
tim.

AGAINST ROAD PAYCHING.
From the Dover Index.

From the Dover Index.
We have long contended that the
Levy Court. should be a business body,
and not a political machine. We have
come 20 the conclusion also that a
smaller body of three or five would
be better and our present plan Of as
sessment and collection Of taxes could
certainly be improved. AS to our sys-
tenn of road patching, most any change
would be an improvement. If the next
legislature does not abolish the pres
ent overseer system and put the road
making and road mending IN respon-
sible and efficient hands Il ought to
be drummed out Of Dover. As to the
levying and collection and distribu-
ton of school taxes, no people who
were not out Of their heads about the
fetish of local self government would
have kept UP the present antequated
and altogether insufficient plan that

publicans who have left their party"
THE republican party" concluded
the president, stands for none OF
these innovations. 1t refuses to make
changes. simply for the purpose of
making change. and cultivating
popular hope that in the change
something beneficial. underlined, will
take place. We favor the greatest
good to the greatest number. We be
lieve that we have made progress
from the beginning to now and that
the progress is to continue into the
far future: that it is reasonable pro-
gress that experience has shown to
be reaction to something worse. II is
said that this is not an issue in the
campaign. 1t seems to me il is the
supreme issue"
IN MOVING PICTURES.
Three moving picture machine opera
tors, perched at points of vantage in
the corners of the room, clicked off
thousands OF feet OF films while Root
and the president were speaking. II
was the first time a moving picture
was taken in the White house. The
state department will preserve one OF
the rolls In the archives. When the
president came to the portion wherein
he referred to the maintenance of the
nations institutions and the preserva-
ton of the constitution" many hear
ers thought he spoke with feeling.
While the president was being notified
of his nomination, democrats in the
house were firing a fusillade OF cam
paign oratory and eulogizing Woodrow
Wilson.
At the conclusion Of the speeches a
luncheon served in the White house
took on the appearance of mid-winter
social function, though formalities OF
dress were lacking.
