special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON. Jan. l4.-Politicians
Who were associated with Chairman Nc
combs of the Democratic National Com
mittee in the Wilson campaign, are won
iering why it is that Senator Willard
SALISBURY of Delaware has played such
minor part in tLe councils at the
White House since last March.
1t was the boast OF the Salisbury
nen in Delaware that if their chief We're
Elected to the Senate he would be the
ehie, ad.isor OF President Wilson. 1t
was asserted that 10 other man was
mita 80 close to Mr. Wilson and when
.he democratic senatorship hung in the
balance ut the State Capital, Salisbury
made a trip TO Trenton; after which u
was circulated through Delaware that
tho President wanted him elected.
Salisbury has been to the White
House a number OF times since he took
his seat in the Senate, but has never
aad mere than q few minutes with the
President In the tariff fight, when the
President was sending for different lead
-rs to yet their advice Salisbury re-
ceived no summons.
In the currency fight, when the
President wanted advice, he sent for
such men as Senators owen, over
man. Kern. Williams, Hoke Smith
and even Hitchcock OF Nebraska, bu'
aever once for Salisbury.
In none of the broad, national is'
sues which have been before The
Senate since last April has Sauls'
curry taken any part. He has devoted
himself exclusively to Delaware poll
dcs. All Of his activities have beer
strictly political and confined to Del
aware Unless he could see SOM
way to strengthen his hold on Dela
ware politics, he seems to find no IN
terest in national affairs.
The friends of Senator Salisbury
answering these criticisms, say that /
has been necessary for him TO give al
his time to Delaware patronage ant
political manoeuvering, and that la
ter in the session he may devote SOM
time to broader legislative issues.

Judge Churchman sustain the objec-

ties practically without an automo-
bile law. While the remaining sec
tiOns of the law would remain in

their violation.
