Cox NOW II Rauytng Point

COX NOW - RaIytng Point
On this point the President has un-
doubtcdly acted with circumspcct pro-
priety. There is nowhere q person who
can say that President Wilson has lift
cd. or is lifting 4 finger to help Mr. Me-
Adoo. Even 30 there Is hardly any pos
siblc course OF action or inaction on tho
part OF the President and the Admins
tration which is not frauEht with dan
ger to Mr.. McAdoo's hopes. If the Ad-
ministration refrains scrupulously from
taking q hand in the nomina ton, 1t will
be said that that very silence and in
action is in Itself tho expression of in
tcntion to help Mr.. NcAdoo.
Tho net of it all is that at this mo-
mont tho point upon which the bulk nr
the more powerful Democratic loral
leaders throughout the country arc cryS-
talltzed is opposition to McAdov.
Another disqualification secondary ~
this is III favor Of Cox. Cox is the
present rallying point. Whether Cox
will continue 10 be the rallyng point
up 10 the final moment OF success in
the convention cannot be predicted with
certainty. The obvious probability IL
that all crystallizations are subject To

WORTH BROTHERS
TO ENLARGE MILLS

That Worth Brothers intend to erect
a S20OO0,OOO addition 10 their big plant
at Claymont cannot be doubted in view
Of an official statement issued by Nor
man r. Entriken. general superintendent
OF construction work Work is now in
progress on a new rolling mill. which,
when completed will give employment
to 500 additional workers.
The owners Of the big plant find that
the present capacity OF the organization
Is insufficient to meet the demands OF
the trade. The plant is at present pro
duc!ng in excess OF 10000 tons OF steel
a year. but this production will be more
than doubled when the additions are
completed.
Not only viii the company erect new
industrial buildings. but 100 add tional
houses for worklngmen will be erected
within a short time. This Is in addition
to the i25 modern houses already built,
ard the % now under construction.
Due to The coming OF Worth Brothers
to Claymont. the place has grown from
second-rate village TO a larye and
thriving town It is confidently antici-
pated that when the comp etc 1870 CEN
sus returns are in that Claymont will
be shown TO be the third town in Della
