NO ONE is FOOLED.

From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
If there is any one who depends on
the Morning News or the Every Even
ing for information about political
matters in Delaware he is being woe
fully misled and misinformed Both
papers, the latter following the form
er's lead, have sought and are seeking
by every means and aTtifce of the
word juggler's art to make II appear
that there is real Independent Re
publican party. or Progressive party,
or both. in this State. As a matter of
plain, cold truth, both papers well
know that there is nothing of the
kind.
There Is a little clique OF men who
seek to accomplish the defeat Of GER
tain nominees of the Republican par
ty. Those men are headed and in
spired by Alfred l. DUPONT. They are
a thrifty little band so they have
named a ticket which they have called
Independent Republican or Progress
sive. and which they are probably
ready to call anything else il it gave
promise Of serving their purpose Ev-
eryone who knows anything about
Delaware politics-and none knows
better than the editor Of Every Even
ing-is we'll aware that the sole ex-
cuse and reason for the ticket is the
hope and expectancy that Alfred /.
DUPONT will put huge sum of money
at the disposal OF his tools to be used
to defeat Col. Henry A. dupont With
out such a huge campaign fund as
is anticipated an "Independent-Repu
lican' ticket such as has been named
could not poll 200 votes The ticket
stands for nothing but one mans de-
sire to cause the political defeat OF
his kinsman. All the high faluting
verbiage with which the Morning
News and Every Evening can stuff
their columns can't alter the facts.
THERE is NO INDEPENDENT RE-

THERE IS NO PROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT IN DELAWARE.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
OF THE PAST WEEK
Stock Market Displays Rising
Strength Under Railroad
Leadership.
FACTORS IN THE ADVANCE

That an exccss Of conservatism had
come to characterize Wall Street has
been attested In The stock market de-
velopments OF the last few days. Senti-
ment in the speculative community with
the progress OF spring verged on in
creasing bearishncss and reaction was
pushed too far over the turn of the
present mopth. 1t had become almost n
trading axiom that the share list could
not show rising strength. al least not
enough to advance into new price areas.
and despite tho. persistence of an un.
precedented investment demand. despite
all the circumstance of profitable &C.
tivity in general business. and despite
the ~commodious case Of monetary condi-
tons, Wall Street was disposed to adopt
a selling attitude toward stocks.
Whatever the sequel to the demonstra-
ton OF strength which was made In the
market las, week under leadership pro-
vided from the railroad quarter. evi.
dence has been afforded OF the funda-
mental frmness OF the supports on
which the price structure rests. For
the time being ut least Il was proved to
the discontinue OF the trading element
that overemphas's had been put on
tho factors conJecturally obstructive of
advance such as continuous foreign
liquidation OF American securities. tho
impending contingencies OF domestic poll
itics. the doubtful fortunes Of the war
abroad and the economic arrangement
potentially involved in the ultimate
restoration OF peace.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-05-22

These matters are pertinent because
n large influence In the react!onary stock
market OF the year was the fear OF a
loss OF our neutrality in tho war. II
canno be said even now that the hazard
OF American belligerency nay be dts
missed, but II Il 10 more remote the
stock market might well make some
Improvement, even II no moro than in
the way OF rebound from a depression
resulting from apprehension on !rterna-
tiOnal political account. Given an OPP
portun!ty for some such recovery the
position OF the stock market itself per-
mltted constructive effort. Reactionary
l!uuldat!on and decline ever since the end
Of last year had left the market with
stocks much more firmly lodged at re-
duced prices. Commission house COM
mltments had undergone an extensive
contraction. and In the meantime the
development Of profitable activity In
trade and industry had left quoted values
at a level which was far from measuring
the enormous earnings OF corporate en-
terprise, the widespread Increase OF pop
ular buying power and the general
augmentation OF financial ~resources
Assuming also a considerable amount
OF initiation TO be denoted In the ex-
pansion attained by general business. II
can be said of the stock market as a
whole that at no time during the war
period mas It reelected the imitation out
side OF Wall Street. Allowing for the
spectacular enhancement Of quotations
for a relatively small number OF indus
trial speClalttes. the stock market
average OF prices has never been carried
since the outbreak OF the war too the
heights attained ten years ago. Yet
earnings. profits and augmentation Of
working capital have been breaking all
records In the past twelvemonth.
There may be something more han
an interesting coincidence between the
new gold import movement and the fresh
turn of strength In stocks. particularly
IN the international list, The demon
stration OF rising strength may be In
tended to facilitate the absorption OF
foreign liquidation OF securities. but
again, as was the case last year. foreign
gold comes here to help us buy back our
securities from abroad. The better the
market Wall Street can provide for this
foreign selling the more accordingly will
our industries benefit by the maintenance
OF foreign purchases Of goods and com
mod!ties.
Export Demand Continues.
As II Is export demand continues in
remarkable volume. even in branches OF
trade and industry where signs OF a
letup In domestic ordering have hegur
to appear. Nor II general business
shows moro obvious signs OF setting
