WOULD PUT OLD
BRIDGE TO GOOD USE

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNALS
Sir:-Not having heard any thing
more about the proposed bridge that
is to cross the Christiana river at
Fourth street | just had an occasion
10 take notice of Market street bridge
and thought how that poor old struc-
ture is over taxed to accommodate the
heavy traffic that will be forced upon
it when the big trolleys get to run
ming across it. Their ought to be a
way to take some of the travel off
this bridge. ! see that our park
board has been talking about convert
ing the old B. & o. railroad bridge
into a traffic bridge to open up the
country beyond Washington street.
That would cost quite a good sum OF
money and | don't see how it would
work to the advantage Of the working
class of people as much as it would TO
take the money that will be spent
on such a venture and put a new
bridge across the Christiana at
Fourth street. l would suggest that
the old Third street structure be
/ loaded on scOws and taken up stream
say above the Harlan and HOllings-
worth Corporation plant, to the foo,
of ID street and then we would have
bridge that would open up an ave
nue. of travel into the Second. Third
/ Tenth. Eleventh and Twelfth wards
Z of our city and at the same time take
lot of travel off Market street. With
the new Fourth street bridge we
/ would have a direct route from New
Castle avenue over ID street ant
/ across the marsh road and connect
[ with Beach street and then onto
Maryland avenue, to Richardson Parl
or Elsmere Under that arrange
ment teams of manufacturers in tn,
southwestern part of our city woulC
not have to drive on to the eastern
part of our city to get into Soutt
/ Wilmington. I think this could D,
carried out for a small sum of mOnel
as in the first place we would have
the bridge and there would be nj
necessity of buying a new one as thl
old Third street bridge would answc
the purpose for a number OF years
I think it would be appreciated b.
the farmers and autOmobilists as wei
as the heavy traffic. / think it woul
be we'll if our Levy Court Commits
sioners would take some action lil1
this before deciding to sell the oil
bridge if they ever get together an
build the new bridge at Fourth street

I the Seventh Levy Court district in this county
the situation has become desperate for the
Democratic machine that il practically has abandoned
hope OF carrying the district The machine leaders
realize too late that they committed a great bunder
when they assisted William A. Scott to win the Demo-
cratic nomination for Levy Court Commissioner There
are scores of good and decent Democrats in APP
poquinmink and Blackbird hundreds who condemn the
nomination and say that under no circumstances viii
they vote 10 return Scott to the Levy Court The feel
ing among the decent voters in both hundreds is that
in view of the fact that Scott a member of the
ole White-Lynn Levy Court his candidacy at this time
is a nagrant afront TO the taxpayers. Scott was a
member OF the Levy Court which allowed to county
officers in 1900 than $4,000 Of the taxpayers
money in addition to their fees. and also drew many
or bearer checks which SS91S3O of the taxpayers
money was taken out of the county treasury The
feeling in all parts of the district be that in
view Of Scotts past political and official record he
should have kept in the background but that has
afronted the taxpaying public by emerging from his
retirement his rebukc should be in the nature OF an
overwhelming defeat

WOULD VOTE FOR
WILSON TO ESCAPE WORK
To the Editor OF THE EN
TOTrRNAI.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir.-I am a Wilson Democrat and
in favor Of free trade /. like old
time Democrats, say take the tariff
off every thing we eat and wear or
stockings and cigars and morocco
for we can get them cheaper from
abroad as the wages in Poland, Rus
sia and France are low. If we have
free trade we will not have to work
so hard. See how hard we have to
work making cigars. II they were
made in Europe and Cuba. we girls
could loaf. IL stockings and other
articles were made in England it
would be fine. We Democrats are for
Wilson for he is the friend of the
working man. He wants us to rest
all the time, So We can go to the base
/ ball games every afternoon. The poet
says. "All work makes Jack a dull
4 boy" tn bet that fellow will vote
for Wilson. The reason am a
/ Democrat is because all the factories
and mills arc owned by Republicans.
BY taking ihe tariff of clothes you
could buy suit Of imported broad
cloth for 81 as labor is cheap In
Europe Free ships will be a good
thing as shipbuilders will have to
lower the wages to compete with
/ foreign countries in building ships
and all OF us could buy ships and then
we could buy diamonds. Then we
could buy champagne as cheap as We
can beer. All our morocco could be
made over the sea and our factories
Bmmenthals. New Castle Leather Co.
and others would quit Mr. Taft has
helped us to have free ships by sign
ing the Panama Canal bill Let ms
vote for Wilson All the women
should shout and work for him for
they would not have to get up in the
morning so early to get the old man
OF 20 work Republicans want
Everybody 70 work II you don't want
10 work vote for Wilson and be
happy.
