On the ith OF March, 1913. Willard
Salisbury, Esq, plain citizen OF VIII
mington, who had hitherto held no,
office, either local or national, took
the Gath OF office as United States
Senator from Delaware. At the end
Of I'VE years of service in that high
capacity, on the ith Of Msrch, 1918.
10 Ssimple and manly" letter which
has been widely commended as a
model Of good taste. and fitting
phraseology, senator Salisbury an
nounced his candidacy for a second
term. Il Is proposed In this article
10 put before the reading and think
Ing voters OF Delaware, as briefly as
possible. q recapitulation Of the ser
vices rendered by Mr.. Salisbury TO
the State he represents, and to the
country at large. 10 Is the writer's
drm belief that this summary OF
things proposed and things done, Of
pooognition achieved, Of honors de-
served and freely conferred, will. II
duly considered, win for Senator
SALISBURY at the coming election
verdict OF approval and confidence
which will overwhelm all opp0si-
Mon, and silence every dissenting
voioe. By common consent, the
Democratic citizenship OF his state
have affirmed his fitness to be honor
Cd with another term OF service. II
II more than apparent that many Re-
puhlicans, mindful Of what Is due 10
unQuestionable merit, will add to
tho general acclaim the endorse
nent OF their votes. The record IL
vocal Let 1t speak for itself.
Shortly after he took his seat, Mr..
Salisbury advocated the separation
Of Delaware from Maryland. and the
erection Of the latter into an inde-
pendent revenue district. The move-/
ment was not successful. Perhaps
" did not deserve 10 succeed, but il
waS an effort in behalf OF the au-
tonomy OF the smaller State, which
Delawaresns know how TO sppre-
oiste
Before the close Of the first year OF
nis term, Senator salisbury intro
ouced the measure with which his
name mas ever since been closely as
sociateo, and which has finally won
sne almost unanimous backing OF
lar seeing men, both IN and out OF
tnc senate. Less than month sso.

defenses at Lewes and along the bay
above the town. This matter was
assured Of success by its inclusion
at the instance Of the Senator, in the
Fortiflcations bill OF 1917. A suffl-
cient appropriation was made, and
the fortiflcstions so necessary 10 the
safety of .he lower bay are now an
accomplished fact. The entrances
to the capes are properly safeguard
ed, the shipyards OF Wilmington, and
the great and growing aggregation
Of industries along the Delaware
river from Wilmington TO Philadel-
phia, are duly protected. Fort Sauls-
bury Is fltly named. For this out
come OF Mr.. Ssulsbury's intelligent
and persistent effort, the common
wealth he so cspably represents, for
whose interests he is so watchful,
in whose behalf he Is so untlring,
should see to II that he receives
again, at the hands OF its citizens.
the deserved reward for which he
asks.
On the 10Th of March, 1917, week
before war with Germany and
Austria was declared, Senator Sauls-
bury favored the abrogation OF our
treaties with those governments, be-
cause Of their gross violations OF in
ternational law. Four days later,
when It was seen TO be inevitable, he
declared FOR a vigorous prosecution
Of the war, when it should be de-
clared; and on the fourth OF April,
during the great debate in the Senate,
which preceded the momentous de-
clsration, he presided over the deli
berations. The congratulations he
received, both from Senator's and
others, upon his forceful and i'm
partial conduct as presiding officer,
were most flattering in their
character as well as in their num-
Der.
On the i4th. of May, 1917, Mr..
Salisbury gave dinner to the
Senate in honor Of Mr., Balfour, the
special envoy from Great Britain to
the United States Government, and
on the nth ne gave a reception TO
she Vice President and the Senate,
TO meet Mr.. Balfour The reception,
at which Mr.. Lansing and other
secretaries were present, was one
Of the notable functions Of the year.
The next act Of Senator Salisbury,
which secured for him the unani-
nous oommendation Of the press.
was his vote against the proposed
censorship OF newspaper publics-
tions. The vote on this proposition
ives 5s for to 30 against. A change
Of one vote would have carried II.
The amendments TO the War
Revenue bill OF this session, intro
duced by Mr. Salisbury. were three
in number. Each Of them was i'm
portant, all were eminently common,
sensible and just. The first struck
out the unfair feature Of retroactive
taxation. The second provided for
the free listing Of raw materials for
manufacturing purposes. The third
restricted the taxes imposed by the
bill to the period OF the war. The
wisdom OF these amendments was
recognized by the Senate.
The 27th Of July, 1917, was signal
lied In the Senate by the passage OF
the River and Hsrbor bill. II lnclud-
cd sixty-eight thousand dollars for
the iron pier al L. Ves, fifty thousand
dollars for the hsrbor of Wilmington,

Salisbury to WELD a great influence
