For the Blue Hens Chicken.

CESTREvnLE, Delaware, Nov. l, 1916.
Messrs. JEANDELL a. VINCENT 81 take this
opportunity of transmitting these few lines toI
you, TO inform you Of report that mas beer cir
culated in this village and vicinity, "by some
of those would be crib feeders" They say
- that your long subscription, to which you ask
the attention Of the public; has the name Of
many persons on who have never subscribed for
your paper and that many of them are ignorant
that your paper exists
Now in my opiniodilns very assertion proves
at once that the authors of il knew that they
were uttering falsehood. Your subscription
list is free to inspection, and it has been ex-
amined by men who are well acquainted through
out the state, and if one single name could be
found on that list, of person who had not sub
scribed for your paper, we would then have rea.
son to believe there might be more. But as
there has not been single name found on it Of
a person, out, when asked if he subscribed an.
swers, 'Yes.' am however, led to believe thai
this talsehood was circulated by disappointed
office hunters, and that it was the offspring o
their own polluted imaginations. | am wei
aware that in this Hundred and throughout New
) Castle county you are supported by the farmer
mechanic and manufacturer
There is classof men in this state who wouli
hands, and to accomplish their nefarious designs
they will resort to fraud, artifce and ialsehood
The people Of this section of the state hav,
weighed those men and they are found want
ing" They have, ora portion Of the same cliqu
have been trying by all the means which tn
love of office Gould invent, to put down tn
" Blue Hens Chicken" For they are wei
aware that it is the peoples paper, that it is tn
! only independent wing press in the state, an
5lif It was possible they would put down thi
u Palladium of liberty.
y But it is hoped by the Independent farmc
: and mechanic, that the Chicken" will nevt
: suferits independent voice to be stihed by thos
J oifscourings of the gloriots wing party.

70 Your subscription list has increased beyoi
~ the most sangune expectations, and is still dai
- increasing, and you may rest assured, SO loi
-, as you pursue the course that you are now o
~ you will receive the patronage of the mass
pn the wing party. The Independent yeoman, i
nc skilful artizan and the industrious manufactur
"a! a will one and all give you their hearty suppo
~, ll The wing party must be cleansed of the fiji
~ portion resembling certain beast of prey viii
y, ~ follow armies that they may feast upon Il
ne puirid carcases of men, that die with some drea
u full epidemic. The way is now open to eradica
this filthy portion of the wing party through t
> columns ofthe "Chicken," by giving them dos
~ of true whiggery, and when they find they ca
ae not obtain any true whigs support, they W
~ leave the party, and join some other, where tn
'eI may find men more likely to cooperate wi
i. ! them than they can find in the wings of
'e DELAWARE.
