DEPLoR,BLE RESULT OF CHARTER FIGHT.


IT is TO be deplOred that owing The ineEcusable in
lection Of partisan prejudice into the situation all
legislation looking to the OF a charter for
Wilmington has been defeated in the Delaware Legislature
II douby deporable that the Of legislation
brought about in defiance Of formally expressed
public sentiment which was and still Is overwhelmingly
in favor Of a new charter
In the Senate the Republican majority at the instance
Of certain politicians who kept themselves well in the
background loaded the charter bill with partisan amend
which were wholly unacceptable TO the friends of
the charter movement and also TO the Democratic
minority As result the mutaied charter BILL which
had been made, in spirit a shadow of its former
SELF defeated the Republican Senator's voting for IT,
while the Democratic Senators voted against H. It
to produce that result that the Republican partisan
ments made the bin in the scheme
proved TO be wonderfully effective.
In the House Of Representatives which is controlled
by the Democrats by majority Of one,
the original charter bin. favored by the friends
Of businessnke city government, was reported
favorably by the Democrats To encompass It's defeat
there, and TO line up the Republican members against IT,
series Of amendments offered at the instance the
group politicians that previously had operated in
the Senate drive the Representatives into two
solid party blocks Tho Democrats voted to defeat the
amendments and thereby prevent mutilaon of the
charter bin. The Republicans bent upon forcing
those amendments into the bill.
As result both the amendments and the bill were lost
because, although the eighteen Democrats voted for the
measure unamended, they did not constitute the two
thirds majority needed for its passage.
That the Wilmington public is indignant that such re-
suits should have attended its efforts TO obtain a new
and businessnSe charter goes without saying. Ex.
preston of such indignation heard in all sections Of
city. In fact the state of the public temper is such
10 give that the new charter movement ma,
received greater strength if anything as result of tn,
events which have occurred in Dover within the Ias
week. also gives that the fight for new
charter which viii pu. the affairs of Wilmington on
sound business basis, viii continue uneompromisinsl,
until that result has been achieved.
The people want charter, and they are deter
mined to have IT, in spite of all partisan obstruction
