Voting From Prejudice.

Every election gives various evidences
of men voting from prejudice, rather
than from principle. The election in
Delaware, on Tuesday, was full of such
instances.
One man will have personal prejudice
against his ncighbor His neighbor, in
the course of time, becomes n candidate
for public office He may be the candi-
date of the same political party Of the
man who has n prejudice against him,
but this makes no difference to the latter.
He votes to defeat his party associate
simply because he has personal preju-
dice against him.
A story is related of the famous John
Randolph of Roanoke. Va, who was cor
spcuous in public life century ago. He
was an intense partisan, follower of the
Democratic party. and also a man of
strong personal prcjudices. But he never
allowed his prejudices to interfere with
what he believed to be his duty to his
party and his country
Inc StoiN ~ tistt ~ 'ht ''S'S'''' ~
the days when voting in Virginia was viva
vocc, in public meeting at the court
houses, Randolph publicly announced
his vote in favor of candidate on the
Democratic ticket who was his bitter
personal enemy Astounded at tins
favor, the candidate approached Ran
dolph, after the latter had voted, and Of
fcred his thanks They were Indignantly
refused II am not voting for you per-
sonally," Randolph of Roanoke rs re-
ported TO have SAID, but for a repre-
sentative of my party, and deem 1t my
duty at this election to stand by my
party"
Standing by the party IS most COM
mendablc when II means the serving OF
the interests of the country And II may
well be understood how men who have
personal grievance against certain candi-
dates on their party tickets may swallow
their grievance and vote for them, when
they consider il for the best interest Of the
party and Of the country
But this is something great many
voters in Delaware have yet {" appreciate,
especially in Kent and Sussex counties.

PRESS COMMENT.
AN AMERICAN CONGRESS ANYWAY.

When this edition of The World was
printed the returns from the Congress
ional elections were SO incomplete that
no definite conclusions AS To the result
could be reached Both parties were
claiming to have elected a majority of
Congress, but their confidence was based
upon hope rather than information.
Republican or Democratic in party
name as they may be, we must believe
that the new House and Senate will be
patriotically American, and that the
more truly these bodies are Republican
or Democratic the more they will be in-
clined to cooperate loyalty with the
President for war or for peace
We do not mean by this that all Re
publicans chosen yesterday are well dis
posed and we know that some of the
Democrats who will appear in the new
body are far from that. What we re-
gard as certain, without reference To party
control, is that on both sides of the
political lnc there will be enough reason
able and devoted Americans to provide
a great majority in support of the ad-
minlstration in every policy and meas

welfare of tho Republic

tivcs of that party or onc-half or even
one-quartcr of them, will in any crcupi-
stances place themselves under his II
responsible command and become merely

untruth?
Ever since the United States entered

Organization in the Saddle.

The most important result of the cleo
tion in Delaware, on Tuesday, is the re-
yersal ii indicates in the management and
control of the Republican party. The
New Dispcnsation, under the leadership
of Alfred J. du Pont, was completely I'M
horsed, and it seems certain that the old
Organization, under the leadership of
Coleman du Pont, is once more in the
saddle.
In this connection, it should be re-
called that the leader Of the New Dis
peDsation, although apparently holding
the position Of party boss, was defeated
in the Republican State Convention.
when he learned there was no chance
for the nomination OF his candidate for
United States Senator, ex-CongrcsSman
William II Head Despite the mandate
of the New Dispcnsation, issued publicly
that MIR Hcald was 10 be nominated for
senator. DR. Ball made u vigorous fight
for the honor. and, due 10 manipulation
tx Organization workers, was successful,
This was a clear Knockout for the New
Dispensation, although il grace fully
accepted defeat and made the best ot the
situation.
But the clements Of Tuesdays voting
make it clear that the New D>pcnsation
has been repudiatcd. and It's ridiculous
appendage, the Voters Non-Partisan
League, covered with contempt Viii
mngton city, instead Of giving 2 heavy
Republican majority. as in times Of Or
gamxation control, gave 4 small Rcpub-
lican majority The Republican ma
joritv in rural New Castle county was re-
duced But the Democratic majority IN
Kent Was severely cut, while the Rcpuh-
hcan majority in Sussex was heavily
increased.
OF course. the effective work IN Kent
and Sussex counties was duc to corrup-
ton money not Us much as formerly, ii
all probability, but enough and there
is no doubt as to the fount from which the
corruption fund gashed forth II was
Organization money, although II came IN
the cusc Of contribution by the Re
publican National Committee. Of SIS,
600, on the eve of the election Mr.
Colc1nan du Pont is Delaware member
Of the Republican National Committee
And SO the old Organization, with all
It's corruption and vote-buying, has been
restored to control Of the Republican
party. Ball and Layton will give II the
Federal patronage, and the customary
tactics will enable it TO secure full control
OF the party in the campaign OF 1920

WILD APPLES.

1t IS time, now, 70 go out and gather the
fruit Of the Wild apple trees. But very few
will 90. II an apple tree is not in an orchard
it Is passed by as not worth attention Such
neglect IS adequate proof Of American
wastefulness. If you do wish to gather wild
apples, and have no clew as to where to
find them, 1t IS not a Dad cnange to follow
brook. The brooks seem to have carried
and deposited the seeds; and where they
have been deposited the earth is good
and rich. 4 brook walk in October will
sometimes disclose teeming abundance
Of fruit that is well worth taking home.
Though we have no indigenous apples,
We have two indigenous crab-apples.
They are called Pyrls angustifolia and
Pyrus coronaria Such heavy dignity is IN
deserved. They are pretty little trees, and
very fruitful, bat they arc not impressive.

The Vote in Wilmington.

Even with the light registration. the
vote IN Wilmington at Tuesdays elec-
ton was a revelation, especially TO the
leaders and workers of the Republican
party They looked for q majority of at
least thousand for their ticket In
stead, Dr. Ball earned the city by only
small margin, and the average Re
publican majority of recent years faded
almost INTO insignihcance as TO the rest
Of the ticket
We take IL that tins expression Of
sentiment by the voters of Wilmington
was ono Of loyal support Of the admins
tration and Of the latter great work in
the war
Great credits is the Just desert OF the
patriotic voters OF Wilmington They
had no lavish campaign fund to help them
in the work OF getting out the vote and
thank God, not a dollar to devote to the
despicable work of buying votes The
vote OF Wilmington, aside from the m
tense partisan Republican vote, white
and black-the latter always going solid
~ Republican, regardless of all cOnsidera-
tions-was vote of patriotic and uD-
selfish Endorsement Of the admimstra-
tion in It's conduct Of the war. And for
this much we may be truly thankful,
Every Evening is especially gratihed for
