fact that the bin is un-Amercan and they are American
Governor Townsend admitted in his address that the
people OF Delaware have done and doing more in the
way Of war work than they have been asked to do. f
Then why should such a labor conscription threat as
that which is contained in the bin be held over thems
Why should they be asked to surrender to council

and TO include himself all their rights and liberties with
out resezing to themselves the right Of appeal

No it q not partisan question; It is not factional
question: It is peoples question: and the people Of
Delaware, regardless OF party faction, opposed
unalterably TO the Legislature placing in the hands Of
any such council their lives their liberties their nearest
and dearest interests and their happiness
There Is not a single thing in the Delaware situation,
except the matter OF the constitutional loanng class TO

40 TNMATO PnICE LIMIT.


From the Dover State News.
That was a splendid meeting Of Del
aware farmers held in the Dover Opera
House last Friday. under the auspices
OF the Kent County Farm Bureau and
lt was q cheering message they received
from Ex-Governor Fort, Of New Jersey,
now connected with the food admins
tratlon, relative 10 the tomato situa-
tion. Mr. Fort pointed out that the
price Of S2i q ton for tomatoes, which
appeared in a bulletin issued by the
food administration, is not compulsory
and that no Gamers or growers are
bound by it This means that the
Delaware Gamers and tomato growers
can enter into contracts at prices
deemed fair and just, just the same as
they have formerly done. Likewise IL
means that the acreage OF tomatoes
planted this season will be increased,
and eliminates all possibility Of idle
canning factories during the tomato
season. We are very glad that the sit
uat.oc has been thus clarified, for it
would have been a grave mistake indeed
20 arbitrarily fix a price for tomatoes
that not OF .y would leave the growers
no profit, bat would cause them to lose
money.

Loyalty in Wisconsin
lFr0m the New York SUM-

TO understand the political difficulties
that Irvine l.. LenrOot. the l0yallst can
didate for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator In Wisconsin
had to overcome, II Is necessary for
non-resldents Of that State TO bear In
mind conditions Of .Teutonic solidarity
aud political dlscord which are not du-
pllcated In any other part OF the coun-
try.
Wisconsin has a large German popula-
tion, thousands Of whose members
speak and read no Engli b, live TO-
gether I'm jealous preservation Of the
traditions and customs OF the German
empire, and give their nrst allegiance
TO the Kaiser. They are served by Ger
man newspapers, mlnlstcred TO by Ger
man clergymen and maintain an alien
community In the heart Of America.
In the past this racial solidarity has
been politically profitable 10 them In the
highest degree Managers Of party Or
ganzations, and candidates for elective
and appOintlve Offices have catered TO
them in every conceivable way They
have been encouraged for years to
think and act ami vote as Germans, not
as Americans and the consequence has
their un-Amerlcanlsm not only as q
desirable sentimental heritage but 0s
q domestic political possession OF the
utmost value
Thus there exists In the State an f.
recOnciliable element Of the utmost pO-
tency IN party and State affairs the OK

clans has been in progress unlnterrupt.

The condition he has created is one in
which party principles have no finc-
tlon. He has divided the electorate
not on partisan lines but with regard
to its attitude toward La Toilette. Pro-
lection, free trade, prohibition, control
Of public utilities are considered in
terms Of La Follettelsm, not in terms
Of political economy, practical sxperl-
ence or partisan expediency.
To make effective such a condition
foe the advancement OF an individua
IL Is obvious that the old fashioned
methods Of party administration would
not suillce. A new and progressive
device was needed TO bring about the
autocratic domination for which La
Toilette struggled. This was found in
the open primary.
Under the open primary any voter OF
any party or OF no party Is entitled to
cast his ballot in the nominating nTi-
mary OF any party he may choose.
Neither his past Affiliations nor his
plans TOR the future count IN his choice
| OI the organization in which he shall
vote on primary day Democrats may
enter Republican primaries, Socialists
may cast their ballots In Democratic
primaries, and so on as FAR as inge-
nuity can devise means for interfer-
nnce from motives OF hostility, friend
ship or pure malice. The open prl-
mary was exactly the weapon needed
by La F0llette TO clnch his hold on
the political fortunes OF the State. In
accordance with It's terms any voter
bound TO him could be called on to do
his Will in the councils Of any party.
II La Toilette wanted TO defeat p0-
tentially strong candidate in the prl-
marles OF the Democratic or Socialist
party he could send his followers into
those primaries to- vote for a weaker
man. If he wanted 20 help TO nomi.
nato an unpopular man in the Ropub.

help OF Democrats or Socialists be-
