details because Of the danger that the
enemy would profit thereby. It is
known, however, that strong reinforce
ments have been sent forward to every
point along the line in France and that
a supreme effort is TO be maze to break
the French defense. It is felt here that
if the present battle results i'm vic
tory for the Germans, the French will
be unable to recover for a long time
and viii be compelled to retreat far to
the south of Paris, leaving that city
at the mercy of the German armies.
The unofficial reports .received here
say that the British-Freneh losses in tho
French battle far exceed those Of the
Germans. who for a time in the pres
ent campaign have been able to dght
from trenches. strongly supported by
artillery. The German artillery fire has
been very deadly, especially ON the
right. where an attempt by a seemingly
overwhelming force OF British and
French troops the German right was de-
fcated with heavy loss. The German
batteries. cleverly masked had the

As to the provision for the direct
election Of senators, he said it had been
suggested by the committee, and as the
committee had not considered it he did
not feel free to make public its pro-
visions. The committee win consider
the direct election of senators proyis-
ions on Friday next, Mr. Ward said.
"These are substantially the only
proposed new statutes the commission
has embodied In its report outside OF
existing law said Mr.. Ward. THE
members of the committee have made
some suggestions which we will pre-
prepare and submit to them for their
consideration, but as they have not
been acted upon, we do not care to
make them public.
Mr.. Ward was asked If there was
under consideration a change that
Z would abolish the special registration
day prior to a special election. and he
said that n suggestion had come from
the committee for the abolition of the
special registration day for a special
election TO fll a vacancy IN the Leg

THE Commission has changed the
language in some places In making

Harry ]. Stidham. Republican
nominee for sheriff, is being con-
graduated on all sides on the ex-
ccllent run he made at the primaries
on Saturday, when the vote he re-
ceiYed was far in excess of the COM
bined vote of his two opponents. Mr..
Stidham had 2,079 majority over Mr..
Francis and Mr.. Galloway combined,
and he had 3.273 plurality over Mr..
Francis, his nearest opponent. This
is pointed out as the most decisive
victory ever attained by a candidate
for sheriff in a contest at the pri-
maries. and il attests the popularity
of Mr. stidham with all classes of
people
Big and good-natured Mr. Stidham
has made friends everywhere
throughout the county, he being call
co to all sections at times to super
wise sales, as he is an auctioneer Of
recognized high standing and ability.
He is q native Wilmingtonian, ne
having been born in this city in 1870.
He was born the Sixth ward and has
always lived in that ward. Thus he
lays claim TO being an EAST Slider"
and has remained in that section while
he has Witnessed hosts of his neighbors
move away to other or newer sections
of the city. He lives at No 700 French
street.
Mr.. Stidham received his education
in the public schools of the city, and
when the call came for volunteers in
! the Spanieh- American war Mr.. Stidham
was one of the first to enlist in the
army lie served nine months, and at
| the close of the war he was honorably
discharged from the service and entered
/ business with his father, Frank C. Std
/ ham, auctionecr. at No. III East Fourth
street. which business the candidate for
sheriff conducts at the present time. IL
/ is one of the business institutions with
long history in this city.
Mr. shdham always has taken the
keenest interest IN politics, and COM
ing from a Republican family it was
but natural that his affiliations should
/ be with that party and that his eff
forts should be eXerted toward its
4 success. His father was nominated
for sheriff in 1884, but was defeated
by Thomas Ford, everything going
! Democratic that year. His grandfath-
er. Lewis w. Stdham, was elected
sheriff of New Castle county in 1862

NO WAR PRICES At

The European War has practically
stopped the importation of hides into

BERLIN. VIA THE HAGUE, Sept Is
In an official statement issued by the
German general staff this afternoon. it
was announced that. while the great
battle now raging in France is still un-
decided. there are evidences Of German
gains and indications that the French
offensive is gradually losing its force.
The Statement says:
THE battle between the Disc and the
Meuse continues at all points and is not
vet decisive. There are indications that
the enemy's resistance is beginning TO
decline. The French efforts TO penetrate
the German right made with great brav-
cry have failed. The German centre
is slowly advancing although encount-
ering desperate resistance
"Thc French sallies from their forti-
fed position at Nerdun have been re-
pulsed without much difficulty The sit
uation In its entirety from the German
viewpoint Is satisfactory"
Earlier in the day a statement was
issued, in which It was explained that
while the general stah realized the
great anxiety of the German people for

defeated for assessor by a meagre one
vote after making a wonderful run.
Saturday last was the first time he
had run for a Court House Office, and
it is gratifying to him and his many
friends that his majority is the larg-
est any candidate for sheriff ever has
received i'm a contest
That Mr. Stidham will have a large
majority at the November election is
generally accepted. as in addition to
being extensively known and being
popular personally, Mr.. Stdham is a
good campaigner. He knows the
people in the country as well as in
the city.
1t is pointed out. too, that his ex-
perience as an auctioneer should be
of much benefit to him as sheriif, as It
will stand him in good stead in ar
ranging and conducting sales that
come within the jurisdiction of the
sheriff.
