PLEA FOR SEW ELECTION DIS
TRICT.
but you got off a bad ono in Satur
day's JOURNAL In reference to a
new voting place at Bear in the Tenth I
district. You have either been rals-i
led In your Information or show a
woeful state of small peanut politics. !
The conditions in New Castle Hun
dred, to the best of my knowledge, do
not exist in any other thickly-settled
section of the county It would have
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir;—I enjoy reading your editor
ials, which are usually fair-minded,
In? places are all In New Castle and
voters living in the lower end of the
district have nine or ten miles to go
to register and vote at the primary
election. I have to drive five miles,
If there were a voting place at Bear
I should have only two miles How
some voters In Wilmington would
kick if they were compelled to go
even as far as Market street to vote,
which i 8 a short distance to what
some voters in our district have to
go./ The Ninth district (White Clav
Creek Hundred) has a voting place In
the eastern, western and middle dis
tricts, convenant to all voters. In
Other hundreds the same rule is loi
lowed, except New Castle Hundred,
which is denied the same courtesy
through small peanut politics, which
comes of electing partisan noiiticians
who work for self first, party next
and the country gets what is left.
Your only claim why this bill
should not be passed Is it would make
a Democratic district. The only
thing the Democrats would, or could
get would be inspector of election,
As the Tenth district usually goes
Democratlc It would be of no special
benefit to that party You will find
the voting place is demanded by Re
publicans us well as Democrats. At
the last election several Republicans
cut .-. candidate on their ticket be
cause ho had opposed the new voting
place.
Please Investigate this more care
fully and see if you cannot be fair
minded enough to drop such small
politics, and use your Influence to
accommodate quite a community or
farmers God know,, the farmer gels
the small end at all times.
Yours : pec.fj.Hy

liberty to adopt the pure commission

the people have elected to office, will

The only true reason!
If the enabling law is not passed
at this session of the Legislature, the
people will not be discouraged Its

I am told by some who are in a
position to know that the enabling
act cannot pass in this Legislature,
In reply I would say that the people
will not be discouraged by Its defeat.
If It is no passed at this session, the
only result will he that the zeal of
those who stand for the inherent
rights of the people will he increased.
The great masses of the people do
not care who holds ce. Their su
prerae wish is that those whom they
elect to office serve their desires, and
serve faithfully. As a rule a man is
kept in office as long as the majority
of people have confidence that he is
serving the highest interests of the
people. A controlling minority shifts
P ar,y t0 Party in the effort to
better government. Public sentiment
bas changed, and Is changing. It be
comes necessary to elect people to
office who represent the newer ideas
°f progress and of public good. If
the present officers will represent the
heat In th public mind, then they are
the best men to re-elect, hut if they
refuse to respond to public demands,

Places. If the enabling act Is not

and who are desirous o. bolding them

to the people to watch how their rep

ascertain who are their true friends.
