the beginning the end OF Salisbury machine domino
ton In Delaware.
When wards like those mentioned and rural
districts like New Castle hundred turn against it.,
only construction can be placed upon the far
reaching and important circumstance. That is that
Delaware Democrats heartily tired of Salisbury
bosssm and that they determined to get rid of It,
II goes without saying that the treachery OF the
salisbury organization against State Senator Thomas
M Monaghan, Democratic candidate for governor, two
years ago had an important bearing upon the Demo-
cratic voting Tuesday just It had the Demo-

Monaghan revenge was not. however, the only dis
cordant Democratic element that at work at the
polls on last Tuesday. Many Democrats who had been
whetng their knives for Senator salisbury for vary
ing reasons, looked upon Tuesday as reckoning
day and used them without mercy. And the end is
not yet This is merely the beginning. Democrats OF
prominence who exercise potent influence in Demo-
cratic strongholds fully determined to defeat
machne-made salisbury tickets until four years from
now, they will their work by driving Senator
salisbury from the field Senatorial candidate or
failing that knife him and defeat him in the general

plan has been projected and is being carried out by
Democrats who know how to do things political; who

wYNOFFICIAL returns from the several states show
u that as a result of the great Republican land
slide in this country Tuesday, the Democratic ma
iority in the House of Representatives has been re-
duced from 141 10 49, With certain Senatorial
tests st in doubt it is impossible at this writing to
xivc definite figures with respect to the partisan com
position of the upper of Congress. The indi-
cations are, however that the Democrats have made
gain OF two votes there against Republican gain
Of rs votes in the House.
In other words the Congress will continue to be
Democratic and the Democratic party during the next
two years must accept full responsibility for every
hing done The American electorate has chastened
It and put it on its good behavior. Two years hence
it will be hailed once more the bar public opinion
and judgment will be passed upon it. What the YER
dict will be will depend largely upon its course Of
conduct and the results of its legislative and dmins-
strative acts during the intervening time.
To all Republicans another gratifying result of the
election on Tuesday is the showing the extent of the
drift of Progressves back TO the Republican party Col
onel Roosevets organization went to pieces, even IN
his home state New York. There, according to un-
official returns Progressive party fell from third

Then the war came along as a prov

GRANGERs ANp MILMINGroN H0spIrALITY.


THE annual convention of the National Grange will
in this city on next Tuesday It viii
be in session until November 21. Il is estimated that
for several days following the assembling of the con-
venton there viii be not less than $500 strangers in
our city demanding food lodging and entertainment
The accommodations of the hotels and regular board
ing houses in a city OF this size grossly inadequate
for the suitable housing OF many delegates The
only solution of the problem is for philosophical Will
mingtonans to throw open their homes to the visitors
and rent TO them fair and reasonable prices
Exclusive of the hotel accommodations, the Chamber
OF Commerce has succeeded In obtaining accommoda-
lions zoo of the visitors. It must have at least
500 more rooms to make proper showing when the
visitors arrive Therefore owners of private homes,
who desire to aid the city in taking care Of the largest
convention in its history should send word at once to
the Chamber Of Commerce relative to the number Of
rooms they willing TO rent at from 81 to 81 day.

datons offered Secretary Sinclair of the Chamber of
Commerce. has a register in his office. Those
who desire or who willing. to rent their rooms
should inform him at once of the fact That may be
done personally, by telephone or by mail.
Hotel keepers. restaurant keepers and garage
keepers in our city also must size 10 their respon-
sibnities in the matter. The thousands Of visitors
must be fed we'll and they must not be subjected to
extoronate prices. They also must have at their
command the best automobile service that the city
possibly can supply Owners OF garages and machines
should bear that fact in mind and themselves
accordingly.
Every wilmngtonian owes Il TO the city Of Will
nington as patriotic duty to assist in the suitable
entertainment the Changers. It is the desire that
this become known convention city. While II is
true that we had conventions here we never have
had anything that approaches in magnitude the Ma
tonal Grange convention It would be an act Of
civic heartossness for people TO invite thousands
Of strangers to meet here and then TO fail TO have
suitable accommodations for them when they arrive
Il was an honor for Wilmington to be selected by
such large and representative body for its annual
meeting place That honor should be reciprocaed by
a wealth Of hospitality exercised by our people to-
ward members of the largest farmers organization in
the world.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

For the Democratic defeat Senator Salisbury must
accept a large share of responsibility. He is the
party leader and the campaign conducted under his
direction Nothing was done that was not in accord
with his desires. But he proved general and his
leadership is discredted once more. Fortunately Tor

Yes; and the Every Evening also must assume for
itself large of responsibility for that Democratic
defeat Instead of discussing the issues of the cam
pagn in a calm, dgnihed and argumentatye manner,

and politicians until the voters became disguised with
