SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THE PRIMARIES.

From the Salisbury Tribune.
The primary election Tuesday has
result ed very much as predicted so
far as the Republican ticket is con-
ce-ned. Mr.. Weller and Mr.. Duer
have practically the unanimous vote
of the party in this country, although
but very little campaign work was
done except through the columns of
The Maryland Tribune up to the day
of the voting
This result is in line with the rest
of the State, as Mr.. WarburtOn and
Gen. Macklin carried but three count
les, Cecil. Dorchester and Calvert.
The feeling In the ranks of the par
ty throughout the State is excellent
and almost jubilantly hopeful. Victory
at the polls is conceded as a proba-
bility by very many candid-talking
Democrats.
Locally the Democrats have done
Just what they had to do under the
circumstances named ticket that is
far short of the usual standard of ex-
cellence. They have named a legis.
lative ticket that is unfit to represent
the intellfge ce and business import
ance of this country They have named
incompetents.l although il is conceded
that they are excellent citizens ana
upright men.
They L.ve named for clerk of the
court. a man who is a good and up
right citizen, but in whom the party
has expressed a lack of confidence
as to his ability to administer intelli-
gently 'he affairs Of his Office if elect
ed. This s not given, as the opinion
Of this newspaper. but Is the oft
heard opinion of his fellow psrtisans
who are now seeking to displace him
from a position TO which he is rightly
entitled on the ticket.
The whole ticket is made up OF the
most mediocre men and it would be
unfair to the great number of intelli-
gent and capable and experic ced weu
I'm the Democratic party who could
have been on the ticket to say that
this bunch is fairly representative of
the party.
