WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. e.-New Castle
County prohibitionlsts have indorsed the
Progressive party candidates and their
names will appear on both party tickets
The Prohibitionists. who will have no
ticket of their own, have accepted the
Progressive nominees because that party
has pledged itself to Statewide prohibit
tioi, in Delaware.
II is quite evident that all of the tenn
pcrance advocates do not intend to vote
the Progressive ticket, for the Anti-Saloon
League and other dry" organizations
are sending out letters to the candidates
OF the other parties, asking them to
state their attitude on prohibition so that
members of the old parties may vote for
men on their own ticket who favor pro-
hibtIon. ..
The "drys" intend to figure prominently
In this campaign. The Ministerial Union
In Wilmington has determined to send
n committee to each of the newspapers
here, asking them not to accept liquor
advertisements. This body also will send
q committee to the Attorney General In
the hope of inducing the court to cur
tail the number OF liquor licenses granted
In this city.

encos which he said he had with DR..

ernor Stuart. who. he said. was favored
by Senator Penrose, to run for the Gov
ernorship again. and had then turned to
Doctor Brumbaugh. Senator Penrose did
this reluctantly, said Mr.. Little.
"I said to Doctor Brumbaugh then"
said Mr.. Little. that the rehabilitation
of the Republican party in this State
could be accomplished only by. retiring
Senator Penrose from public fife. He
looked me squarely In the eyes and shook
his head. No. said Doctor Brumbaugh
4 can't agree to that" Mr.. Little said
that at this conference Doctor Brumbaugh
refused the request urged upon him to
enter the primaries without the support OF
the Republican Organization.

held in room 1917 OF the Bellevue-Strat-
ford, in Philadelphia, last February. ].

GRANGE OF CHESTER

ON SCHOOL TOPICS
Women Members Active in
Their Opposition to Aban-

Methods of Education.

WEST CHESTER, oct 6.-The Grange
people Of this county are taking UP the
matter Of education in a manner that
suggests they mean to accomplish some
desired changes in the not very-distant
future. In this movement 1t is notice.
able that the women members OF the
organization are the most active. What
they are saying and doing is along lines
universally regarded as being to the point
and of very practical character.
The manifest point in much OF the dis
cussion of the subject is, that there is
a decided danger in letting go some of
the old principles associated with the
education of the young. The danger sig
nal is being displayed relative to num-
Der Of the new methods that have been
Installed in the schools and some others
that are being talked about.
The prevailing idea seems to be fear
of what they refer to as patent ideas" 4"

Cormlck, Democratic and Washington
party nominee for Governor, and Dean
William Draper Lewis, who withdrew
from the Washington ticket in favor OF
Mr.. Mccormick, discussed the political
Issues in the present campaign from the
same platform here last night in an open
air meeting. Earlier in the day both
spoke at Huntington, the home OF DR..
Martin @. Brumbaugh, the Republican
glbernatorlal candidate.
While Senator Penrose was bitterly
scored by both speakers. but little ref
erence was made to Doctor Brumbaugh
In denouncing. Bigelow and the State
Highway Department. Mr.. Lewis asked
Doctor Brulnbaugh how he proposed to
remedy the eYils there.
ITO SenatorNPenrose more than to any
other man" Mr.. Lewis declared, was
due the election OF Wilson and the enact
ment of a Democratic tariff. He thought
that through Democratic rule the ma
terial prosperity OF our State would be
injured and the people in their revolt
against Democratic national policies
would turn again, even to him and his
kind"

have a tendency to wean away the boy
or girl from the home and its time
honored principles On this point the
women members Of the order are more
pronounced than the men, and their
views In the matter are often made the
basis OF discussions regarded as indica-
tive OF fast-growing intelligence of the
members and OF great service to the
public in n general way.
II is quite noticeable OF late that the
Grange people are broadening the work
Of theiE organization. 1t is conceded
that there are other matters Of interest
to the farmer and his family aside from
the raising of COWS, pigs, horses and
chickens and cultlvating the ground. AS
n result of this widening Of the avenues
OF interest and thought, the meetings Of
the Grange are being made OF vastly
moro significance and value, fact well
attested by the increase Of interest and
the number of members who have be-
come valuable aids In the work by TAX
ing the floor and expressing their views
in an intelligent and vigorous manner.

CHILDREN HAVE
FREE FOOT TODAY
At MT. HOLLY FAIR
Three thousand Youngsters
There - Women Judges
This Year = Aviator to
Perform.

MOUNT HOLLY, n. j., Oct. 6.-Three
thousand Children filed through the turn
stiles in the early hours of ChIldrens
Day at the Mount Holly Fair today. The
youngsters have the freedom of the
grounds and the grandstand. They are
the guests of the Fair Association.
This years fair opens under circum-
stances decidedly favorable. Everything
is in motion throughout the grounds and
exhibit buildings. The midway is filed
with attractions and there Is not a show
on the grounds that will not pass in
spection. If any should happen to de-
velop unexpectedly overnight they will
be promptly closed by Sheriff Jordan.
The judges of the art, fancy work.
culinary and agricultural departments
have been kept busy trying to decide
where the prizes should GO This year a
new system has been established In the
fancy work branch Heretofore some OF
the exhibitors had found cause for criti-
cism in regard to the awards, saying
that the judges were not thoroughly
familiar with up-to-date designs and
stitches, but TINS year the management
decided to get two experts from a de-
partment store in Philadelphia to do the
Judging. These women are experts in
their work, and certainly have no reason
to be anything but impartial.
Under the management and direction
of the Burlington County Young Mems
Christian Associations and the Burlington
County Hospital a haven of rest and
emergency hospital Is being conducted in
a tent In a quiet part of the grounds.
The physicians and nurses on hospital
duty have had plenty to do ever since
this innovation was established two years
ago, and they expect to have their usual
amount of work this week.
One of the big attractions of the fair
will be the aeroplane flights by Ruth
Law, which attracted great crowds last
year. She will give daily performances
and a feature will be her demonstrations
of bomb throwing from the air, but her
bombs will be innocuous.

In his address the Governor paid high
tribute to President Wilson and the ma

statement that if elected Governor he
would be "the chief prosecutor of the
State" Glynn declared this was either

The agricultural short cours,
week is now an established annu.
al event in Harvey county. The
first one was an experiment and
the one Just closed has shown
the great benefits to be derived
and that the farmers of the coun-
ty reconize it, that they appreci-
ate it and justify the sending of
instructors to this place each
year. 1t is possible to get the
date of the course in the future
at a time when more may take
advantage Of it, but whether this
is accomplished or not. we must
have a course every year. II has
been a great factor in the sue
cess of farmers during the past
year and the result from the in
this week will be far
more reaching and this will con-
tinue as time goes on. The ac-
tual attendance of farmers and
their evident desire to get every
possible advantageous point has
encouraged instructors and con-
yinced them of the sincere desire
for knowledge by local farmers.
