WHO WILL DUST HIM1

VIZ HEN the cott-saulsbury Democratic fractional
w fight was shaping up in Kent county many years
ago the Dover Index founded by the Wolcott
ton to combat the influence Of the Dover Deawarean
the Salisbury family organ. Il has been an ant-sauls-
bury newspaper since. The Deawarean has gone
out of business. The Index continues to thrive We
rece the above facts that the following editorial taken
from the columns of the Index. may be read under
standngly:
Some Delaware Republicans profess to be over-iu-
bilant about the prospects for year II Boosting
we're all. the election would be foregone conclusion
We concede that there is much encourage Demo
Gratis In the late Wilmington election yet as far as
we can see It has little bearing on the election of next
year OF course Republicans profess victory
them in the demoralzed condition of Wilmington Demo
Gratis. There is. however, time and opportunity to
change the leadership and management that have pre-
vented Democratic harmony and success, and with
President Wilson a candidate for reelection and strong
candidates the State ticket there is reason why
Wilmington should not do as well as I'm 1912 when the
whole Democratic State ticket with the execution Of
Governor, was elected and lost the Governor be-
OF the failure OF the Democratic candidate
some reason, TO receive the support OF the Democrats
of his own religious denominaton Next year the
ddate for Governor and the candidate for United states
Senator will come from the lower counties and there
should be for dissension. n Delaware Demo
Gratis are wise and deserve to win there is indi
cation that they win
In other words the old wocott organ in Dover IS
suggesting syly what the Every Evening Of this city
suggested openly Just after the election this
citythat United States Willard Salisbury be
between and the general election next year
Once ask WHO is going to destroy his
organization and Dust him? Those who are behind the
Dover Index have tried often to do IT, and failed
eraby in the attempts The Every Evening which has
played fast and loose with the Democracy for years
and betrayed 1t repeatedly, hasn't enough influence
to GUST election district captain to say nothing
Democratic State leader who is buttressed by
Senatorial toga and Federal patronage.
The truth is that those who would like to drive VIII
lard Salisbury from power long on talk and short
influence and action. They he has the State,
county and city organizations. They afraid to
out openly and fight him for their possession
He kills their halfbaked tickets at primaries and some
Of them knife his tickets general special city
elections
II the old Bayard- Gray olcot lighting blood had
not turned to water in of transmission Sauls-
bury might now find himself in serious trouble As
1t is the very Democrats who ought be fighting him
knuckng and trucking to him accepting his
leadership under whispered protest that amounts to
nothing so far practical results at the Democratic
primaries affected.
Salisbury will be the leader in 1915: his ticket will
be in the field Il will be made up of Salisbury men,
VIII the Wilmington Every Evening and the Dover
Index support IT, bolt It? The public awaits a
reply especially in view Of the fact that the Every
Evening stards upon the platform that such a ticket
will invite defeat and deserve defeat" the Dover
Index is playing the role Of weak echo.
