record of mismanagement and extraV-

struggle in an effort-almoet hope

with the hope that they cannot be
overcome by the disaffection which
they know exists in their ranks and
with the knowledge that many who

INDIFFERENCE Of
VOTERS GENERALLY
SURPRISES LEADERS
Lack OF Popular Enthusiasm
Over Election Worrying
Both Parties.
RESULTS ARE DOUBTFUL
Special Dispatch TO Every Evening.
Copyright by New York Herald.l
by Louis Spibold.

New York. Nov. sc--The most I'm
pressIve feature of the political con-
test 70 be settled tomorrow is tho in
difference OF voters generally to the
appeals and pledges 4 the two major
parties. The next most important fea-
ture Is the lack Of popular enthusiasm
for the recent records of both the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The chief interest OF voters in most
Of the contests for the control Il 32
State Governments. the selection Of
IS United States Senators and 435
members Of the House Of Representa-
dives has been centered on individuals
and one or two so-called issues of
dubious political value or mainly of
local Importance.
In the campaign now closing there
has been no broad or uniform issue
to mark any real difference between
the Republican and Democratic parties.
The attitude OF voters has complete
ly justified the conclusion Of political
students that citizens throughout the
country are dissatis1ed with the record
of the Republican Administration and
completely disappointed over the fail
ure of the Democrats 10 propose a
programme calculated 10 remove the
fundamental causes for popular com
plant.
The non-existence OF any independ-
ent agency through which popular
protests may be made against both
parties is unquestionably responsible
for the failure Of 100000 or 4.OO0.-
600 voters throughout the country 20
qualify fer participation in the pend
ing contests. Political leaders natu-
rally attach much Importance and
serious concern over the depreciation
over the registration in some OF the
most important States which in Penn
sylvania amounted to 4O.sO0: in New
York $4,000; in Ohio l60. coo; in Mis-
souri, 100000; in Michigan-f2O &C, 900 with
a proportionate falling off elsewhere.

Dover. Nov. 6--Delaware's harom-

will be read at the polls tomorrow
November :. when a United States
Senator, to succeed Senator T. c. du
Pont, and a Congressman to succeed
DR.. Cale1 r. Layton. will be elected.
Other State officers and minor county
officers are also TO be elected.
The writer has just returned from
trip through the two lower counties
and unless he is greatly mistaken the
Democrats will carry Kent county by
about 1.2OO, and possibly carry Sussex
also. Abraham Lincoln said: You
can fool some OF the people part of
the time and part of the people some
Of the time, but you can't foot all
the people all the time" Thus, in
effect, spells the feelings of the voters
down the State towards Senator du
Point and the Republican party. They
are chatting under his leadership and
resent the way he got into the United
States Senate through the chancellor

a road TO the State but resent the
way he has capitalized the gift as
an asset 10 be returned to the Senate.

ONE WAY OF GETTING
REPUBLICAN FUNDS
colored Road Worker Of ST.
Georges Hundred Tells How
He Was Heavily "Docked."

Special Correspondence Every Evening.
Middletown, Nov. 6.--Some idea of
the inside workings" of the Republi-
ran Organization in lower New Castle
county has come to light as result
Of a statement given out yesterday by
Joshua Jones, a well-known colored
man. who for a number of years has
been employed on the public highways
by the Road Supervisor of the Thir-
teenth Representative district The
charges have frequently been made
that men employed on the roads are
obliged to pay tribute to the Organ
lzation." but proof has always been
lacking. Yesterday Joshua Jones made
this statement over his own signature
in the presence OF three witnesses:
When / received $500 per day for
man and team from the county for
road scraping. / was docked s1.00 per
day by my supervisor. Now I re-
ceive $500 per day, and / am docked
80 cents per day. When / received
1900 per day for my men, was dock
ed sl.00 per day"
Jones is a respectable colored man
living in Cedar Lane, and for a num-
her of years has been employed on the
highways. 1t would be interesting to
know the sum total the "dockage" has
amounted TO in the years Jones has
been doing road work.
The road supervisors are appointed
by the Levy Court of New Castle
county, and the work in the districts
are done directly under the super
visors. According TO the statement
which Jones makes his checks come
to him in the usual way. He endorses
them and turns them back" and re-
eeives in cash the amount due him for
work done-less the amount Of dock
age"
With these facts coming to light
Democrats claim it is no wonder the
Republican Organization manages in
some way 10 find funds for election
expenses. Republican leaders here
have been charged with countenanc-
ing this system but they have always
ienied that il was being used. The
statement above printed, would seem
20 indicate that the charges of the
Democratic campaign managers are
well-founded, even though their op-
ponents deny them so vociferousiy.

The principles which the Republi-
