OUTLOOK PLEAsES TOOU
State Chairman Says His Senatorial
Campaign Goes Fine.

Expressing himself as highly graft
fed with the outlook for his own po-
litical ambitions, Hugh c. Todd of Sc
attic, state Democratic chairman and
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United States senator, call
ed on local Democrats this week at
odd moments during business trip
here.
"I'm very we'll satisfied with the
way things look" he said in response
to a question. POLITICALLY, the op-
portunity for the Democrats this year
is an exceptional one, and personally,
things are going very we'll indeed, I
am much pleased with the outlook. "
While one of the youngest Demo-
Gratis of prominence in the state. Mr.
Todd is widely known and quite pop
ular, being one of the three leaders
in the race for the gubernatorial nom
ination in the primaries two years
ago, and apparently his campaign for
the senatorial nomination has been
making satisfactory Roadway since
his formal announcement few weeks
ago.

up all hopes for this year, but have
replanted a good share of their home

HARMONY PREVAILS
AT STATE GRANGE.
Continued from page H.

McSperran, representing the Penn
sylvania State Grange, and one Of
those who have been abroad studying
rural credits, gave one of the best
talks at the meeting on this subject,
and also said the convention was one
of the best he had ever attended
and he has been all over the United
States and big part of Europe. He
said such a meeting was credit to
the state of Washington, not only to
the farmers but the public at large.
In discussing rural credits, he called
attention to the fact that we were
not yet ready to adopt any particular
system and would not be until we
had more time to study and compare
conditions here and abroad, saying
that conditions in this country were
considerably different and that we
would not and could not adjust our
selves to conditions as they are in
Europe. He also emphasized the
fact that the average farmer had no
confidence in himself and looked to
some one else to do his business for
him"
The State Grange will meet in
Centralia next year.

COMMENT ON Mr.. MILLER BASED ON
An ERROR.

Unofficial returns of the recent election
as printed showed a surprising and ex-
traordinary error. for it was made to ap-
pear that Mr.. Thomas W. Miller, the
Congressman-el elect, had fallen very much
behind Mr.. Luff, the Republican caudi-
date for auditor of accounts in the State.
According to the correct count Mr..
Miller led the State ticket in this county
and also got more votes in both Kent and
Sussex than either of the other candi-
dates on the State ticket. Mr.. Miller
carried Sussex by FIVE plurality. Mr.
Luff had sixty-nine majority, although
his total vote was not so large as that Of
Mr.. Miller, while Mr.. Hastings the Dem
ocratic candidate for State Treasurer, won
Sussex by thirtyfour majority II will
thus be seen that there was no consider
able cutting of the State ticket as had
been indicated. The comments of the
Wilmington Morning News concerning
Mr. Miller printed yesterday Were there
fore based upon an error, and, as we
have no desire to misrepresent Mr..
Miller We cheerfully Withdraw the com
ment that was founded upon wrong fig
ures which inadvertently did Mr.. Miller
an injustice Wilmington Morning News,

OUR new CONGRESSMAN

Congratulations to Congressmau-e -elect
Thomas W Miller Not only was be
successful, but he received more votes
than any of the other Republican candi
dates on the ticket. His victory refutes
the petty arguments and objections used
against him in the campaign in a con-
elusive manner, for 22,922 Delawareans
voted for Mr. Miller to succeed Mr.
| Brockson as Representative in Congress.
II IS not necessary to saw that they had
confidence in him; their votes are ample
testimony to this effect. Charles !. Lnff.
the Republican candidate for State Audi
tor. was the runner up" with total of
2Z.9O votes William 7. Swain, the
nominee of the same party for State
Treasurer, was third with p, SOP.
Although the pluralties of Messrs. Luff
and Swain were greater than that received
bv Mr.. Miller, they had the advantage
of being opposed by men who did not run
as strongly as Mr.. Brockson. In other
words, the Democratic nominees for
State Treasurer and State Auditor were
cut III this county to an appreciable ex-
tent. They were seemingly not as pop /
ular as was the choice of their party for
Congress
One of the curious after election occur /
rences was the publication of an editorial |
in the Morning News in which it was
stated that Mr. Miller has fallen very .
much behind Mr. Luff, the Republican .
candidate for Auditor of Accounts. " In
view of the fact this was untrue, it was
rather strange that The News, which
processes TO be Republican newspaper,
should be the instrument for the disse-
OF the statement. It was so
palpably without foundation that The
News, blaming its mis- statement on the
unofficial returns, said yesterday: "As |
we have no desire to misrepresent Mr..
Miller we cheerfully Withdraw the com
nent that was- founded upon wrong
igures "
Mr.. Miller's career indicates that he
will be an active and capable representa-
i've, and Delawareans may be sure that
lis duties in Congress will receive that
anne careful and efficient attention that
las marked his service in the Office Of
of State Star.

THE enforcing of the quarantine against
the cattle and animals passing to or from
the section infected by the hoof and
mouth disease, will be aided by every
good citizen Of Delaware. The danger
of great calamity is too great to take
chances with the infection of all the
horses and cattle in Delaware, simply be-
cause an individual thinks that the au-
thorities may be mistaken. It's not their
province to proclaim error on the part of
those who are striving to stamp out the
highly contagious disease, because they
have neither opportunity to know the
conditions, or learn the nature of the
disease. A strong lesson of imprison.
meut and fines will do much towards
effectually stopping this opposition to
law taking its course. and its the duty
Of every man to uphold the Governor
and those associated with him in the ef-
fort to save Delaware from a great aud
