To Sell Birthplace
OF ENGLISH Kings

London, Dec. 4-(P)-The birth
place of two English kings, Usk
Castle in Monmouthshire now in
ruins, is to be sold under the ham
mer. The ownership carries with ii
the title of Lord of Manor, and on
this account is expected to bring a
good price.
The castle, birthplace of Edward
~ and Richard III, was built about
the time of William the Conuueror.
and long held prominent place in
English history. In 1865 the castle
was captured by Simon de Montfort
but after occupation of only a few
days he was forced out by Gilbert
and Prince Edward.
The castle was the home of Rich
ard, Duke of York, in 1433, and after
ward passed into the hands of Will
liam Herbert, the first Earl of Penn
broke. The castle was partly de-
stroyed by assaults of Owen Glen
DOVER
The estate will be sold by execu-
tors Of the late S. d. Williams. a
land owner who bought the place.

The Journal printing department
believes that the public should know
that in the exacting task, especially
of meeting successfully the demands
incident to the last special primary

apart, it received from the State de-

Judge Edgar c. Smith, Deputy
Secretary of State, in addition to his
other duties, has had charge of this
preparation, inspecting, sorting, and

may he be found on the job during
office hours but many an evening as

when is considered the fact that his
duties include supervision of the
work of the automobile department
which has doubled during his in
cumbency. He must exercise rare
judgment to anticipate months
ahead just what that increase may
be and the amount of supplies that
will be required. And there is the
corporation business which has in
creased the past year; there is the
issuing of commissions all the way

Supreme Court, to the justice of the

How many believe that it is posi-

While the average voter in the
state is aware of the fact that he is
not usually called upon to register

Predicting that Representative Will

elected to the Senate from Pennsyl-
vania, Senator Norris, Republican. of
Nebraska, said last night he was
going to speak for William B. Wilson.
the Democratic candidate. to uphold
the fundamental right of the elective
franchise.
LAS I see it, he said, 1.-The sena-
torial campaign now under way in
Pennsylvania is of vastly more ma
tional Importance to the American
people than any other election in any
other State.
1.-The issue in Pennsylvania is a
simple but fundamental issue, with
the mass of good citizens of all par
ties or no party aligned on the one
litical machine seeking to nullify the
franchise by a lavish use of money
and by the theft of ballots legally
cast at the polls.
I'm my judgment. the election Of
the Republican candidate for Senator
in Pennsylvania next month would be
a calamity for the Republican party.
l believe it would result inevitably, as
the Lorimer and Newberry cases re-
suited, in the defeat of many Republi-
can Senators and Representatives in
subsequent elections and primaries.
