made good faith and that he has achieved national
reputation business with ability to foresee the
future interest of this country and its part to be maintain

his interest in Delaware will always draw from him the
effort bring to Delaware that which will help to de-

national interests 1t would be foolish to take for granted
that popular confidence in universal support will end in
success. Elections sometimes lost by overconfdence
Republicans Delaware get the idea fixed that
the elections next November will be walkoVer for their
ticket They will have well developed fight against the
enemy the Democratic party and will be aided
by less effective opposition, made up of personal
disappontmens and desire for revenge for opposition in
their purposes of the past The Republican party will in
all probability have contest at the primaries, but when
the ticket is named there should be loyal support and
earnest work for success in November.

D. c. SUPREME COURT
| IS CONVENED FOR FALL

The Supreme Court Of the District Of
Columbia convened Tuesday for the fall
terms with all six justices present. Ths
new assignment Of the justices became
effective. Chief Justice Mccoy will pre-
side in Equity Division ., Justice Stat
ford in Criminal Division 1, Justice Sid
dons in Equity Division /. Justice Hitz
in Circuit Division i. Justice Bailey in
Criminal Division 2. and Justice Hoeh-
ling in Circuit Division 2.
The calendar in the two law courts is
the smallest in the history of the court
for the past twenty years. there being
only 557 cases to be divided between
Justices Hitz and Hoehling. In Equity
Division Justice Siddons has 143 cases.
while Chief Justice Mccoy, in Equity
Division 2. has 116 cases to be heard.
The criminal docket is much congested.
and United States Attorney Gordon may
ask the justices to have three criminal
divisions instead of the customary two.
A third justice may be assigned to
criminal trials when Maj. Gordon is pre-
pared to try some of the war fraud cases,
which are expected to take several
weeks each.
