Time and again we have been
urged and even threatened with
loss of business if we did not
make a fight on the water COM
pany. To make it clear, il is
not our purpose or intention to
fight the water company or any
other institution in st. Johns,
unless we know beyond perad
venture of doubt that wrong
has been done. We love fair
play too well TO be either caioled
or coerced into wronging any,
body or anything. If we were
absolutely sure that the water
company was charging outra-
geous rates and grating on the
people of st. Johns we would not
hesitate to add our protests in
language that could well be un-
derstood. But we do not know
if the rates are exorbitant: nei-
ther does council know, nor do
the people know. They only
think they do. They will all
agree that they do not know
what the water plant is worth,
and know little about receipts
and expenditures. Outside of the
revenue derived from patrons.
we do not know nor does anybody
know outside of the company,
what money or how much has
been placed in the plant. In the
absence of these facts. we re-
fuse to fight. If we lose bust
ness thereby, we will have at
least clear conscience; and we
would sooner have that than all
the business st. Johns can pro-
vide. Anyway with the crea-
tion of public utilities commits
sion and "A council with power 10
regulate rates, why need we
fight? Why need anybody fight?
But If we must fight TO secure
our rights we can assure one and
all that we shall fully demon
strate that we are there with the
goods. We have ever sought out
the pleasanter and more peaceful
lines in life. but we have teeth"
if we care TO show them. The
water fight is not ours. If i'll

Kenf Men Baik on Caucus Plan

today
or the twelve Kent members, five
are lined up for Richard r. Kenney
they being Senator Williams and Rep
resentatives Cummins, Houston,
Lynch and Schneider The others are
said to be divided between l.. Irving
Handy and James Il. Hughes
The injection Of Henry Ridgelys
name into the situation has brought
further uncertainty as be is being
urged as one native son upon whom
the twelve might unite. Mr.. Konney
today admitted he had heard reports
that Representative Reynolds and
possibly Representative Arthurs
would not be bound to support Kent
countian. II that were true Mr.. Ken
ney said it would be practically i'm
possible to bind the entire twelve on
one man. He understood efforts were
being made TO get binding caucus
Of the Kent members.
Whether in the event OF a failure to
bind the twelve Kent men on one
candidate, enough Kent members
would refuse to 20 into general
binding caucus is one Of the doubtful
features Of the situation.
The anti-Saulsbury men claim that
at least four members will not be
bound by caucus to support Saulss
bury. IL is evident, however, that II
binding caucus of all the assembly
men Is held, Willard Salisbury would
have more votes than any other one
candidate In 1t, with indications that
he would get a majority OF a general
caucus on the second or third ballot.
OF course if the twelve Kent men
would unite on one candidate Of their
own in a general binding caucus
Salisbury would have to get all but
two OF the remaining democratic
votes His friends are claiming five
New Castle and ten Sussex men for
him on second ballot. They expect
to bring Salisbury delegations here
from all over the state on Monday.
Couldn't Get Caucus.
Realizing that the action taken by
the twelve Kent county Democratic
I lmembers in their conference on Wed
nesday afternoon, when they voted
to support Kent county Democrat
for Senator. was not binding for pro-
longed balloting for Senator, the re-
sourceful anti-saulsbury leaders here
led by Mr. Hughes Mr.. Handy and
r. r. Kenney decided TO have held,
if possible a caucus of the Kent
county members yesterday afternoon.
IL was the intention not only TO try
to have that caucus formally to nom
mate a Kent countian for United
