Georgetown, Saturday afternoon: The
Democratic party, according 10 my
best information, went out Of power
in Delaware because It's leadership
had become corrupt"
The first square political contest
that resulted in victory for the Re-
publican party IN Delaware was at the
election Of 1894. In that campaign Ebe
w. Tunnel OF Sussex county was the
candidate FOR governor and Samuel
Bancroft Jr, Of Wilmington for Rep
resentative IN Congress. George Gray
was just fairly under way in his sec
ond full term as United States Sena-
tor, having won a notable victory
after hard contest at the election Of
1892.
We submit there was not tho slight
est intimation Of corruption" in this
leadership Of the Democratic party
which went down TO defeat owing to
the adverse political conditions that
attended the 1894 election. The Demo-
cratic party had suffered in popular
! favor throughout the country that
year, and could not escape that ad-
verse sentiment in Delaware.
Nor was there ever a time during
the long reign of almost unbroken
supremacy Of the Democratic party

could justly be accused of yielding &c

was ever clean and honest. True, it'

Real Estate Listed.

Still another field for the applica-
ton Of business methods has been
found in dealing with the real estate
government owns a vast amount OF
realty, wharves. warehouses, storage
buildings, etc, but up 10 the present
time there has never been a consoli-
dated list of such property. One Of
the results of this deficiency, which
is now being remedied. has been that in
the same cities one government agency
had property that was not being
utilized while another rented less de-
sirable and less suitable space.
For example, Army depots in Brook
lyn and Boston afforded storage space
that was not being used. while the
government was paying s275.O0 an
nualiy for places in which To store
seized liquor in those cities. A bit Of
coordination and that snug little rental
item was saved. Again. in Chicago Il
was found possible TO cancel leases
costing 100000 every year by making
available government owned property
that was standing idle, and substantial
savings are being accomplished in a.
most every other large city in the
country. This is just what the real
estate department Of any large cor
poration would be doing and there is
nothing new or startling about IL ex-
cept that the government hasn't been
doing 1t for the last 40 or so years.

stitute for the Volstead act. IT is quite
probable that one will be offered dur
ing the Congressional contests. Such
plan has already been reduced to
concrete terms and submitted to Demo-
cratic and Republican party leaders
and .members Of Congress who are op-
posed TO the present prohibition law.
II will be offered as a reasonable
substitute" for the Volstead act. but

feature of the volstead act.
Experts are at work trying to evolve
plan of taxation that will insure a
large amount of revenue to the Gov
ernmont. provide system Of regula-
ton and distribution and preserve
the moral necessities"
Whether This scheme can be worked
out in such a manner as to appeal to
popular support is matter Of con-
lecture.
They believe the public is convinced
that the Volstead act is too drastic;
that it is not being enforced; that it
Is held in contempt by many millions
of the citizens of the country; that
more money is spent for liquor to-day
than during the era of the saloon;
that the Government is helpless to inn
pose the irksomc conditions on the
country without the cooperation of
citizens who openly encourage the vio-
lation OF it; that the sacrifice of rev.
enue to the Government. plus the cost
of trying to enforce the prohibition
law, is unwarranted, and finally the
people regard the entire experiment
as fairure.
Assuming that their theory in this
respect is correct, wet" party leaders
and members of Congress who have
canvassed the situation believe that
the time has come to propose their
reasonable" prohibition law to the
voters. Candidates for Congress who
elect to take the wet" end of the ar
gument will be urged to subscribe to a
uniform program which will cover all
the points involved.
The ''wets" best fighting ground
will be in the New England States,
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia,
Virginia. Tennessee. Kentucky, In
diana. Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Wash
ington, Oregon, California, UTAH,
Texas. Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida.
The wet" leaders express conf
dence in the ability of their candidates
to win on wine and beer platform
in many of these States. They seem
to think the recent results in the
farming districts in New York and
Illinois reflect dissatisfaction with the
Nolstead act among agriculturists.
Whether their conclusion is correct
remains to be seen.
The dry leaders while admitting
that the results in New York and Illi-
nois reflected some dissatisfaction
with the Volstead law do not appear
to be particularly apprehensive as to
the outcome of Congressional contests
fought on the prohibition issue.

day that the popular demonstrations
against the law were expected. He
