BLOW AT FREE SPEECH.
Show Your Resentment by Voting
Against the Republican
Candidates Tomorrow.

The Republican majority, members OF
the Police Commission by their action
yesterday in suppresslng the proposed
meeting Of Hebrew Citizens, and of the
Central Labor Union, struck blow at
the right of free speech and Of peaceful
public assemblage.
There was no imprOpriety or illegality
in the proposed meeting of the Louis
Brandies Club at the Victoria Theatre
in the afternoon. It's violent suppress
sion, in addition TO being an arbitrary
act, was an insult TO Ex-Ambassador to
Turkey, Henry MOrganthau, and other
distinguished public men who had been
invited to address the gathering, and
the same may be said Of the suppressed
meeting under the auspices OF the
Central Labor Union at the Queen
Theatre in the evening.
Meetings OF this character on Sunday
afternoon or evening are not an inno-
walton In Wilmington. They have been
held during every campaign for a dozen
years or more in the interests Of vari-
Gus political parties. IL is well known
why an arbitrary exercise of Official
power was employed by partisan
agencies yesterday to violently sup
press these meetings.
VIII the outrage be resented by in
dignant voters at the election to-
morrow? WE KNOW 1T WILL Free
American citizens are not likely to stand
for such an outrage in times like these
You know who committed this crime
l against free speech and why 10 was
done. VOTE AGAINST THEM AND THE
! ORGANIZATION THEY STAND SPON-
SOR FOR. VOTE FOR WILLARD
SALISBURY AND ALBERT F. POLK,
and urge your friends TO do likewise

'Laboring men should think care

wage-earner said today: Don't allow
your present wages TO run away with
thinking powers. Your present wages
are war wages. While the Democrats
are claiming all credit for the present
high scale Of wages. they are really
not responsible. Without the war most
men would be out OF a job. Recall the
period OF Democratic prosperity be-

How much were you making thenY The
only party that has proven TO take care

that is what the next Congress will

with the high wages we have the high

Don't let the smoke. Of the great war

pushed their way through the crowd.

AZ a rapid gate. Former Judge Cocn-
ran also made his way TO the outside
Of the crowd, where he was later JOIN
ed by one OF the advertised speakers
When Oflcer Devinney entered the
crowd. someone yelled: I'VE can WHIP
All the police here" This brought the
quick retort from the officer. Let any
one Of you try IT,"
The appearance OF the officers put
damper on the meeting and those IN
The crowd dispersed.
Chief Black visited the Queen Theatre
and the National Theatre to see that
the police order WAS enforced. He also
visited the headquarters Of the Nom
Partisan League, which had also ar
ranged TO hold a meeting.
Discussing the refusal Of the police
department to permit the Brandies
Democratic Club meeting, Jacob Fisher
today said
81 am very much surprised that no
courtesy was shown TO Judge Gray

Morganthau. by the authorities TO al

held under the. auspices Of the Brandies
