DEMOCRAT PARTY
TO DIE, HE SAYS

That the election on November 4
will sound the death knell of the
Democratic party and leave only two
strong parties the Republican, CON
servative and the Progressive, was
predicted by Dudley Field Malone,
collector of the port of New York
under the Wilson administration, in
an address at a La Follette-Wheeler
rally in the auditorium of the Will
mingtOn High School Saturday
night.
when the smoke of the battle of
November clears away" he assert
ed, two parties will remain, the
strong conservative or Republican
party and the strong party that is
called the Progressive"
Death of the Democratic party
was predicted by Mr.. Malone and he
traced the finger of doom for that
old party in the developments in the
West and Progressive states of the
East in the present campaign. He
said that the fight now rests be-
tween Coolidge and Dawes and La
Toilette and Wheeler.

were informed that a ten per cent
bonus would be paid on the crop,
after the company had earned ten
per cent. The heavy rains of the
early spring played havoc and the
buds dropped. The report sets forth
that where 10000 bushels of Yellow
Transparents should have been
gathered only $500 bushels were
picked. This crop together with one
car of Early Ripes and two cars of
Williams, brought S8,717.01.
The statement also sets forth that
the Indebtedness amounted to $16,-
300 on the old mortgage, note for
$4,000 and note of the old board
of directors for $4,000, which was
reduced to $4,000.
Mr.. Harrington, who succeeded
Oliver A. Newton as general man
ager of the orchards last January,
sets forth that the orchard is far
from being a dead one, but that it
will cost at least $4,000 to bring it
into profitable condition, and, with
no money to do this work, he ad-
vises that the property be sold to
the highest bidder and offers his
services in disposing Of it.
In conclusion Mr.. Harrington
said: eff we should have any credi-
tors who wish to jump in ahead Of
any of the others and give us trou-
BILE, the only thing for us to do is
to ask the Chancellor to appoint Mr..
Fred Adkins and Mr.. Ruby Vale as
Joint receivers without recompense. !

LEVY COURT ISSUE IS FOR

succeed the Levy Courtman whose
six year term expires in January.
The question presented is whether
the successor to the Governors ap-
pointee shall hold Office for the bal
ance of the unexpired term or for
six year term. The State COnstitu-
tion at Article 3, Section 8, provides
that the Governor shall fill all va
cancies that may happen in such
elective offices by granting commits
sions which will expire when their
successors shall be duly qualified.
Provision is further made that in
case of such vacancy, a person shall
be chosen to said Office for the full
term at the next general election.
The words full term have been diff
ferently construed by courts of the
different states and under different
Constitutions. They have also been
differently construed when the term
is fixed by the Constitution and
when it is fixed by Statute.
''In the time given me to furnish
this opinion could not analyze the
cases with sufficient accuracy to be
able to give a positive opinion, and
in fact, any opinion which the at
torney general might give involving
as it does a political situation, would
not be accepted by the political par
ty feeling aggrieved. suggested to
the Clerk of the Peace that the
names of all nominees be placed on
the ballot in separate blocks or |
squares under the designation of the |
office for which the nominee was a
thereby enabling each |
elector to vote for such nominees as |
desired This will enable the voters
to express their choice, and then if
any legal question arises the court |
will have no difficulty in determin-
ing the will of the voters when the
votes are canvassed. Any legal ques-
lion as to the term of Office can
be contested in court by

quiring motor vehicles before driving
into or across such highway to
slacken speed or to come to a full
stop as the sign shall specify or re-
Quire."
'It should be borne in mind, how
ever" said Mr.. Reynolds, that the
law giving the operator on the right,
the right of way means only that
when two motorists arrive at an in
tersection about the same time, the
one on the right takes precedence. 1t
does not mean that the man coming
from the right is licensed to make a
mad dash for an intersection in or
der to get the right of way. The
State Highway Department IS now
erecting a number of signs as re-
duired by the law calling attention
to the fact that motorists must come
to a full stop before entering a num-
her of arterial highways such as the
du Pont Boulevard, Philadelphia
pike. Concord Pike, etc. Eventually
all roads leading to these arteries
will be so marked. This is In ac-
cordance with the best traffic prac-
tice which holds that traffic on main
arteries should have right of way
over those entering from side streets
or roads. The signs erected by the
State Highway Department bear a !
large cross with the word "Stop"

ahead" below.
1--WE believe" continued Mr.. Rey-
nolds, "that the failure of a large
number of motorists to observe the
boulevard stop and the right of way
rule is largely caused by their ig-
norance of the law, and that when
this matter is brought to their at
tention and the accident prevention
possibilities of these two practices
are pointed out, we shall have
large body of law abiding motorists
engaged in these two practices"

GEORGE Y. MASSEY
DIED ON TUESDAY
in PHILADELPHIA
Ccontinued from irst pagel


wisdom in matters of judgment, and
his clear and forcible power of ex-
preston made a combination of tai
ents that thoroughly fitted him for
the highest seat among the busy cor
poration lawyers of the present day.
It was not surprising, therefore.
that possessing these qualifications,
he was called, after thirty years of
active practice in the three counties
of Delaware, to serve the great
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
first as assistant solicitor, and later
as the head of its legal department
in the central offices in Philadelphia,
later as general counsel. His duties
in this behalf led him to remove his
residence from Dover to Philadel-
phia in 1895. He was general coun-
sci at the time he retired, in 1911.
He spent a year in directing, as
one of the four member of the Board
of Control, the great Worlds Column
bian Exposition, held in Chicago, in
1898, and to him, more than to any
one man was due the successful con-
duct of that giant enterprise. His
services in that direction marked the
only departure in his career from
the practice of the law. His political
affiliations had always been with the
Republican party. If he had choose
to give his attention to politics he
would have been an invincible lead |
er. In the meeting of the General |
Assembly in 1889, he came within
one vote of securing the caucus NOM
ination of his party for United States
Senator. Of late years he had given
no time to politics.
While mainly confining his activ-
tiles to his professional work, Mr..
Massey took an earnest interest in
the political affairs of the state. He
was a staunch Republican-never a
bitter partisan, however-and being
a fine orator, naturally was in de-
mand as a speaker at campaign
of his party.
