SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARKIA PRESS
MR.. MILES, CONFIRMATION


From the Princess Anne Marylander.
The friends of Hon. Joshua W. Miles
were thoroughly delighted on Tuesday
evening last to learn that his appoint
mcnt as collector of internal revenue
by President Wilson had been duly con
firmed by the Senate of the United
States. Although his appointment had
been held up for overthree months. the
fact that the Presidents wishes in the
matter had been finally carried out
could not but be agreeable information.
MIR. Miles is not only staunch
Democrat, but also a strong admirer
and supporter of President Wilson. His
valuable service at the Baltimore Ma
tional Convention, when his voice was
one of the first raised in behalf of
Woodrow Wilson, had evidently not been
forgotten.
Senator Lee is TO be congratulated
upon his nomination of a man of Mr..
Miles influence to such an important
position. Mr.. Lee is close TO the Presi-
dent, and his ideas of the class of men
the latter prefers for his ofiiceholders
are of high order
That Mr.. Miles will make an efficient
ofliceholder cannot be questioned His
unusual efficiency at the bar and his
faithful attention TO business make
fine forecast of constant and attentive
work in 'discharging his new duties in
Baltimore.

TWO COMMISSIONERS
AND TWO DISTRICTS.

AND TWO DISTRICTS.
To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Doubtless in common with
Thousands OF others, / read with in
terest yesterday the letter written to
your paper by Mill Greek hundred
Republican relative to the Levy Court
situation and the danger of the
Democrats carrying the Fourth Levy
Court district this Fall If Commits
siorer Groves should run again. Like
the writer of that letter. /. too, am a
Republican and a resident of the
Fourth district have voted for
Commissioner Groves both at the
primaries and at the general cleo
tion. Nor would | fail to vote for
him again we're he to obtain re-
nomination this Fall. ! am frank
to admit, however, that we have in
the Fourth district a steadily increas-
ing number Of Republican voters who
will not support him and therein lies
the danger. The writer who signed
himself mill Greek Republican" did
not exaggerate the situation in any
particular when he suggested that.
with Commissioner Groves on the
Republican ticket for recollection, the
Fourth district might go Democratic.
The danger is not imaginary. That
H. is real is shown conclusively by
the election returns
Levy Court Commissioners will be
elected this Fall from the Second,
Fourth and Sixth districts. have
examined the official returns from all
of them The Second now is repre-
sented by Commissioner GOoding, a
Democrat who won in a normally
Republican district because of fac
tional troubles. The Fourth is re-
presented by Commissioner Groves,
a Republican. The Sixth is repre-
sented by Commissioner Fouracre. a
Republican. whom look upon as be-
ing one of the most active, intelligent
and constructive members of the
court.
think it a fact we'll worthy Of
party consideration that while Com
missioner Groves has been permit
ting a normally Republican Levy
Court district. to drift toward the
Democrats and has actually permitted
them to carry Mill Greek hundred,
which also is normally Republican,
Commissioner Fouracre, who repre-
sents a Levy Court district that is
normally Democratic. not only has
held his own. but, by his good work
and popularity, has increased the
Republican majority there several
hundred per cent For instance. in
1904 the Sixth district gave Demo-
cratic majority of S. In 1908 IL gave
a Republican majority Of H. In 1912
Commissioner FOuracre carried II
for the Republican party by a major
ity of 96. Friends of mine who live
in MiddletOwn assure me he not only
Will sweep the Republican primaries
this year, but that in November he
will carry the Levy Court district by
q larger majority than he received
in 1912
II is a popular man Of that sort
that we must nominate In our district
IL we are TO win this Fall. 7 have
no candidate in mind, and none to
suggest; but 7 am convinced that
those who are interested In the poll
tics of our district and Mill
Creek hundred and in the
continued Republican control
oe the Levy Court should lose no
time in casting about for a man
whose candidacy will assure SUCCESS.
Sincerely yours.
