| IN DEFENCE OF AN HONEST MAN.
As lifelong Democrat, take itupou
myself to defend one of the most honor
able and conscientious men in the State
OF Delaware-Or any other state for that
matter William Edward Maloney. a
faithful aud lifelong Democrat. also
considered the best ward worker in the
Tenth Representative District. has been
the victim of a very false report.
Just before the Democratic primaries
held in August, a report was circulated
that he had promised not to appear as a
candidate for sheriff, and after he had
appeared It was again reported that he
mad withdrawn entirely. Now both of
these reports were strictly untrue. and if
the voters would only think, they would |
surely know that an honest man such as |
Mr.. MalOney. could i'll afford to make |
such statement. when his friends earn
estly asked him to appear in 1914. He
was chosen as The NAM of the Tenth
representative District by the people Of
said District, showing that those who
Snew him best knew his worth.
Again We deny these reports, not only
n behalf of Mr.. Maloney. but his many
riends.
In closing, ! would say Mr.. Malonev
,nows nothing whatever of this article
'ut we feel we would not be doing him ,
ustice If we could not be man enough 3.
o say few words in his defense.
What tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive. -

IN making his campaign through Sus-
sex county Thomas W. Miller has won
the regard and respect of the people
whom he has addressed, and he has also
impressed them as a man of character
and ability. In pressing home the i'm
portance Of a congressman from Della
ware who would watch the interests Of
our State, he has clearly shown that
Delaware has been made to suffer BY
reason of elimination Of appropriations
for improving the waterways, and es-
Pecially the opening Of the canal from
the Delaware Bay at Lewes to the Reho-
both Bay, and thus connect the water
ways already provided. By the failure
to maintain this especial item, the people
OF Sussex county have been made to bear
the lack of cheap transportation for their
products. This plainly shows that Thomas
w. Miller is awake to the interests cf
Delaware, and that he will represent the
whole State, and not the smaller part of
Delaware; its northern end. It is impos-
'ible to change the present conditions
inder Democratic congress, and the
working men are directly interested in
he prosperity of the manufacturing cen ,
res, as it is through them that prosperity /
caches the laboring classes, and the
Experience which to Mr.. Miller while .
citing as private secretary for Ex Con a
ressman Hon. VIM. Heald, will be Of b
reat value to him as a member Of Con- y
ress from Delaware. Every man who y
els that Delaware. and the lower end R
Delaware especially, should receive &C
tention from her representative in Con tc
ess, should vote for Thomas W. Miller.
