Now that tho wet and dryu election
in Wilmington is over politicians in
Wilmington, as well as throughout the
entire State. viii turn their attention to
the State election Of 1918. which Is
now just one year hence. While It is
not a Presidential election. nor will a
Governor be elected. yet there is great
Interest in the coming election IN Wow

Willard Saushurys term will expire.
and Delaware win vote, for the second
time, for a member Of the United
States Senate. There has been some op-
position TO the denomination OF Senator
salisbury in some quarters, as was to
be expected. but In view OF his splendid
record In the United States Senate, and
the high honors he has won. having
been chosen President Pro Tempore Of
that body, II would seem hat the least
the Democratic Party of Delaware can
do Is 10 tender him a denomination.
Delaware Republicans are cOngratu-
lating themselves upon the fact O at
there are indications of a revival OF the
Saulsbury-Wolcott split IN Democratic
ranks, but we firmly believe they are
doomed 10 be badly disappointed While
Mr.. Salisbury may be opposed at the
primaries, and in fact 10 would be very
strange II there were not quite a num-
ber Of candidates for this high onice,
yet once he is nominated by the state
Convention we have no doubt that no
will receive the support OF the entire
Democratic party. II he does not, then
those who oppose him 40 the election
cannot bL considered tue Democrats,
When United States Senator Josiah o.
W0lcott was nominated by the Demo-
cratic Party a year ago, he received the
loyal support Of the socalled Salisbury
Democrats, and senator Salisbury him
self took the stump TO urge that the
entire Democratic ticket be elected II
senator Salisbury should be re-nomin-
a,ed, and then defeated because OF be-
Ing knitted by Democratic voters then,
and not until then, we will be prepared
TO admit that a Democratic Party no
longer exists In the State Of Delaware.
