KENTs TURN NEXT.
From the Dover State News.

From the Dover State News.
Delaware Democrats, It must be
confessed. do not derive much satis-
faction or enjoyment from reading the
returns of the city election held in
Saturday. The Republicans
swept the city with the largest major
ity they have secured in that city
for wears. It is plainly apparent that
the powerful Republican organization
has not relaxed its strange hold upon
the citizens of our metropolis, and
the future outlook for the Democrats
there is far from rosy.
The election, however, has plainly
proven that Delaware Democrats
must look to Kent and Sussex count
les for relief in the future. Had New
Castle County Democrats worked with
the same vigor and enthusiasm at the
election in 1914 as did the Democrats
of Kent county. the last Legislature
would have been safely Democratic.
For some years past it has been
customary for New Castle county, ow-
ing to it's greater percentage of pop
uiation to hog all the best Offices at
! the State conventions 1t is mainly on
account of this that the Democrats in
that county are so badly demoralized
as il has led to bitter factional hghts
within the county itself.
There will be another State elec.
ton next year, at which time th'
next governor of Delaware will b'
elected to succeed Governor Charles
r. Miller, whose term will expire
The Democrats and Republicans viii
each have a candidate in the field
The probability of Democratic vic
tory at that time is largely dependen
upon who shall be the nominee Sc
b lected to head their ticket at tn
polls.
While the Democratic chance Q
success will be excellent, owing t
the fact that it will be a Presidentia
year and President Wilson will ur
doubtedly be a candidate TO succee
himself, yet It will depend largely upo
! the personality of the State tick'
T whether or not that ticket will b
. victorious
Il is apparent, therefore, that th
+ Democratic candidate for governor {
a Delaware in 1915 must not be a Ne
. Castle county man. To nominate
q man from New Caste county. iii
rupted and disorganized as is the pa
I ty in that county. would spell certai
L defeat for the ticket. II is essenti
: therefore that a Kent or SUISSE
Democrat be selected as the gubern
: torial candidate on the Democrat
= ticket.

Those Democrats who boast SO loudly that prosper
ty has returned and that one Of the best evidences
of il is the activity of the railroads in purchasing new
locomotives and cars should bear certain facts in mind
One is that in the four months Of 1914 the rail-
roads bought A. 500 ears and l76 locomotives while in
the FIRST four months of 1915 they purchased only lO
of7 cars and 224 locomotives-in other words, about
one-Quarter as many cars and less than one-haf as
many locomotives If that be Democratic prosperity
where is it going to end? The question Is pertinent
and the public wants an answer
Evening journal., 1915-06-14

There are those who criticize the Republicans for
spending so much time showing up the failures OF the
Democratic party. If the Democratic managers would
spcnd less time in ondeavoring to distort Democratic
failures into Democratic successes, there would be lit
tie occasion for the Republicans spending any time
in revealing such achievements in their true light
AS It s they would be recrean to the trust the Amer
lean people repose in them were they to fail to show
up the deception the Democrats are endeavorng TO
practice in their frantic efforts to defend the tafin
policy Of the Wilson administration.

STREETS, Autos AND CHILDREN,

From the Delmar NewsHerald.
We must admit that the street is no
place for the children to gather and
play and we feel that the town author
tiles must also admit that the streets
are no place for speeding of automo-
hiles and other motor driver vehicles.
Yet several owners of cars are al
lowed to drive their cars at reck-
less speed. This should be stopped
before we have to witness some tatal
accident as has been the case In
many towns on the peninsula.

of Agriculture Houston evinces for sheep that are
killed by dogs and for the owners of such sheep He
urges that all enact laws for the protection OF
such livestock against the four-legged depredators
When the free wool policy Of the Wilson administration

state that the dog in the American sheepold is
