their tents. The capture of the princi-
pal chiefs of Tammany, will without
doubt place the State of New York in
the. Democratic column and would go
far in assuring the election of Cover
nor Roosevelt to the Office of President
of the United States.
Governor Roosevelt has by his able
speeches made the Republican leaders
nave some uneasy moments. He has
proved himself an able conscientious
man, well qualified for the Office which
he seeks.
There are three candidates who are
seeking the office of Governor of Del
aware They are competent men. Lam
dredth Layton of Georgetown; w. F.
Deputy of Laurel, and Wilson NJ. Vim
yard of Milford. The first two could
perhaps poll the full strength of the
Democratic party, but you want a man
who can do more. You will need a man
to win who will carry the full strength
OF the Democratic party and be able to
also win the Independent vote as well.
We believe that Mr. Vinyard can do
this. Not only this but he will coral
many Republican votes. He is clean,
honest man, and enjoys the respect of
the citizens of the State regardless of
their political opinions. Men of Mr.. Vim
yards type are needed in the political
Held to clear the atmosphere and give
people a clean and honest administra-
tion. We hope that he will be allowed
70 pick the delegates from Cedar Creek
Hundred as we would allow Mr.. Layton
TO pick the delegates from Georgetown
Hundred and Mr.. Deputy from Little
Creek Hundred. If the Democrats are
wise they will not enter into any fight
at the primaries but will try to settle
their differences before they cast their
votes for the delegates running in the
hundreds in Sussex county especially.
For Congress: As Mr.. Biggs is now
mentioned for the office of Attorney
General, we will now hoist the flag of
IN
Judge Boyce is a vote getter, and will
not only carry the strength of his own
party, but will be able to bring to his
aid the Independent voters of the State
which will be needed for any Democrat
to win. Send eX-Judge Boyce to Con-
gress.
We will comment on other State and
county officers as fast as they cast
their hats into the ring.
Republican
President Hoover is holding his own
and that he has coraled most of the
prohibition vote goes without saying.
The loss of the wet vote may offset
this gain, but we don't think so. The
light between the President and Gov
ernor Roosevelt will be pushed to the
end, and from now on will be an eX-
citing time. The country is fully stirred
and which ever way the independent |
vote goes so will the election go.
Governor Buck at the recent pri-
lieLAeS won great victory over eX- !
State Senator Short, an das the State |
Convention is in session today (Wed- |
nesday) Governor Buck will be nomi- |
mated and the other State officers which |
the Better Government League advo- |
Gates This will leave some sore spots |
which we don't believe that those who |
Will nominate Buck will be able to heal |
over.
Harry w. Jester OF Ellendale they
say, still has his hat in the ring and |
FraWW 70
celYer OF Taxes for Sussex County, as !
there will be others, Harry will have |
to exert himself to win.
AS the election approaches the cam (
palgn grows more lively on the part of
both the Democratic and Republican |
parties and will continue until the day
OF election We hope no money will be
used in the purchase of votes, and the
people Tor one time can express at the
polls their free will, without intimida-
tion or purchase.
lnfantlIe Paralysis
This dread disease is prevalent in
several parts of the country and our
people should BIZ careful not to visit the
injected districts, and children who are
subject to the disease should be kept
at home
Philadelphia reports over 500 cases
ana the schools there will not open un-
III the disease has been subdued. South
Jersey towns report many cases, and
III tOWn Ol the main lines IN PennSyI-
Vanla they say many cases of the dis
ease are reported. Perhaps there are
other sections where the malady exists
In the City of Wilmington the disease
has made its appearance and the board
OF health is ma king heroic efforts to
keep it in check. We hope they NAV
succeed, and the disease will not
spread into the country districts. A
careful watch should be kept and on
the appearance of the disease the
schools Ghnf11d ha 81
Kept closed until all danger from the
malady has cleared away.
Our chlldren's lives are more prec-
lous TO us than auy schooling they
would miss by the schools being closed.
Weeds And Grass Growing
Perhaps the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad don't know how bad the
grounds look around the station at Ell
lendale. Weeds and tall grass covers
many portions of the ground and make
II II an eyesore for the citizens and the
passer- by. The people of Glendale take
great delight in keping their yards in
prime condition and to have the rail-
road neglect their grounds and fail to
cut the weeds or grass and also neglect
TO trim the hedge, makes things look
different from what they did a few
years ago.
The writer often thinks of the nice
Hover plots situated at many of the
stations in the State and how well they
ing to wreck. The stations for the want
Of paint look dark and gloomy. We
know that the railroads have been hard
hit of late years, that the trucks have
absorbed the business formerly hauled
oy rallroads; yet we believe the time
IS coming when railroads will come
oack and assume their positions as
they formerly did as the principal car
'lers OF passenger and freight traffic of
he country.
But to make things more prosperous
et the section men NOW down the
weeds and grass and trime the hedge
Items Cleaned From The Press
labor Day
The people of Glendale celebrated in
l. very quiet way Labor Day. Some
vent to the seashore resorts and others
yisited relatives, but most of the peo- ;
Die remained at home Our farmers
lave been unable to get but very little
Who have to labor for a living, don't
eel much like celebrating anything
hese days: Let us hope that the de-
preston now existing will soon end and
'eople who are now idle will be en-
'loyed once more. The farmers will be ,
VII nave money to purchase what they N
,roduce. ~
