Thomas M. Monaghan
REFUSED TO VOTE AT
THE PARTY PRIMARIES

Despite efforts of Chauncey p. Hol-
comb, chairman OF the Democratic
County Committee; James Salisbury
chairman of the Democratic City Com
mittee. and other leaders. the breach in
the ranks of the Democrats in the Fifth
Election district of the Seventh Repre-
sentative district (Christiana hundredl
at Henry Clay, is far from being healed
and probably will result in general cut
ting on election day. Party leaders
have sent letters TO the voters stating
tnat they would be welcome at the
Democratic headquarters, where efforts
would be made TO settle the dissensions
This method, however, has far from
satisfied the disgruntled Democratic
voters. and open threats are being made
that the Democratic nominee will re.
eeive a greatly reduced vote from that
district next Tuesday. This feeling has
been more manifest since the mass
meeting held at Henry Clay several
nights ago. when James Salisbury
chairman of the City Committee, adj
dressed the meeting. The only enthu
siasm manifested at that time was
when someone exploded dynamite
bomb.
Democrats who have lived at Henry
Clay for years and whose fathers
voted the ticket as part of their life,
il is said, will refuse to participate in
the election, and on all sides are heard
grumblings at some past doings of the
party.
This dissension dates from the Gu
ernatorial campaign two years ago,
when former State Senator Thomas
NJ. Monaghan was defeated for Gov
error. Many Democrats Of the Fifth
election district, like those of other
districts. do rot refrain from express
.rg o belief that the Salisbury clique
OF the party had Monaghan brought
cJi as a candidate and then knitted

5Chn Dorman, Inspector at the recent
Democratic primaries at Henry Clay

Church of this town. was held in the
assembly room of the church last

introduced the speakers and their sub

of short address by Francis H. Hof-

USE FOREIGN CONFLICT TO CLOAK
REAL CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

The Republicans OF Christiana and
Mill Creek hundreds held a rally last
night at Marshallton and the attend
ance was large. The speakers were
Thomas W. Miller. Congressional can
didate; former Congressman William
H. Head, A. V. L. George. Recorder
of Deeds; Isaac r. Brown, candidate
for Register of Wills; Frank W..
Ewing, candidate for Clerk of the
Orphans Court Harry ]. Stidham,
candidate for sheriff, and other candi-
dates. including Benjamin A. Groves,
candidate for Levy Court from that
district.
Mr.. Miller in his speech reminded
the audience that the Democratic
party was using the Euroupean war
as an excuse for all the adverse con-
dition existing In the country to-
day with respect to business and in
dustry. on this point he said:
"The Senators and Representatives
at Washington have been putting in
all their time to devise new methods
and means Of taxation and their lat
est product, the so-called War Reve-
nue. Bill, cannot be attributed as hav-
ing been made necessary by tbs Eu-
ropean war. On July 1st of the pres
ent year il was hOwn that the deficit
in the National Treasury amounted to
100000 600, and this was before war
was declared. And earlier than that
we heard it whispered about that 4
United States bond issue w,uld be
required"
MIR. Miller in discussing the labor
conditions said that the laboring man
had been gored by both horns, lower
wages and higher prices, in spite OF
the fact that the Democratic party
had not only attached the Republican
party for the high cost of livirg in
1910 and 1912 and had promised to re-
dues the cost y living but in spite
of this the cost had arisen.
1--WE Republicans are not claiming
that we can reduce the cost of living
or that we can keep II from going
higher, but we do claim that oul
tariff policy is one that does not TAXI
away the means of earning a living,
Mr.. Miller said 1--WE have untaxel
foreigners in the Underwood bill an.
have taxed our own people. not onl,
by a direct tax upon them. but by ;
much harder and more oppressive
tax, and that is hard times / cite
these arguments on the high cost Of
living TO remind you of the Demo.
cratic cries of the last two campaigns
In order that you may be on your
guard about this war cry they are
now putting forward. The eagerness
with which they have seized upon this
terrible conflict as an excuse for
their failures only goes to show the
dire straits in which they have found
themselves.

Encouraging Outlook Re-

From All Over County
SPEECHMAKING TO
WIND UP CAMPAIGN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del, Oct. 2s.-En-
thusiastic over the outlook for Repub
lican victory on Tuesday next through
out Sussex county, the Republican
County Committee met here yesterday
afternoon and went over the situation
in the various districts. While the
Democrats up the State have been pre-
dieting a big majority for their party
in this county, such is not the outlook
or real situation here. and the indica-
tions are that the Republicans will
make a ilattcring showing at the polls
on Tuesday next, and will carry the
county despite the fact that the Pro-
gressives have ticket in the field
From all parts OF ,ne county yester
day reports were brought by Republi-
can committeeman of the enthusiasm
among Republican voters and the gem
eral endeavOr to land Sussex in the Re
publican column next week. The Repub-
licans are conducting their campaign by
an appeal 10 the individual voters. and
their forces are pretty well lined up.
Several of the county candidates
were here yesterday for the meeting
and all were pleased with the situation.
That the Democrats are not SO hopeful
as they were earlier in the campaign
was evident from talks with some OF
the active Democratic workers. who
have become alarmed at the way the
Republican prospects for carrying the
county have shaped mp lately, due to the
aggressive work of the Republican can
didates and committeeman.
By Democrats and Republicans
alike it is admitted that the Progress
sive vote will show a great falling
on as compared with two years ago
and the Republicans will gain by that.
In all the hundreds reports come in
that Progressives have returned to
the Republican party and not only in
tend TO vote for the Republican candi-
dates, but are working for the sue
cess of the ticket.

PARIS, Oct. 2s.-The German forces
attempted a violent night attack in the
vicinity Of craonne last night only to
be repulsed with heavy losses, accord
ing to todays official announcement.
The o'clock communique, telegraphed
here from Bordeaux, was unusually op-
timistic in tone. II declared tnat the
German attacks between Nieuport and
Arras were becoming less violent, indi-
eating that the force of the German
assault on the extreme left has been
slackened. North and east Of Ypres
and between Cambrin and Arras, the al
lies are declared to be steadily advanc-
ing and the Germans are also suffering
severe casualties at these points. The
French are also advancing in the
Woevre district.

failing the operations in Belgium, de-

of the Democratic meeting on Mon
day evening and can find no answer
from my Democratic opponent as to
why he informed us in his Playhouse
speech that the carbuilders and ship
builders in Wilmington were affected
by the European war and were there
fore running short. In replying to
my opponent / stated that the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Corporation
had not supplied a car or a coach for
a country In Europe These are the
words ! used and this fact Is correct.
As late as two years ago the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Corporation did
send some cars TO Japan and they
have also exported them 10 South
America, but this was some years
ago. l mention this tonight because
certain Democratic orators seem to
be incensed at my statements, but
the above is a fact which they can
verify by very little trouble. Like
wise, in replying to my opponent
about local shipyards, stated that
Harlan and Hollingsworth Corpora
tion has not supplied mercantile
ships for foreign countries.
1.-The only foreign ship they have
built was a knockdown, stern wheel
river yacht for the king of Siam. That
was some years ago and his nation is
not among those fighting The Pusey
& Jones Company, another local ship
building firm, have not supplied float
ing equipment to a foreign country for
fifteen years, and then they were river
boats for South America.
The fact OF the matter is that the
local shipyards and those all over the
country are prevented from getting
orders for mercantile ships on account
of the keen competition offered by
Germany and England, and the handl-
cap of lower labor conditions abroad"
IF we should accept the reasons
given by my opponent for lack Of en-
plcyment in Wilmington they are in
deadly comparison to the reasons
given by his colleague in the Senate
in July. At that time we heard that
the manufacturers of Wilmington were
conspiring to hurt the administration
by1forcing a lack Of employment
