in the party and should receive the un-
divided support OF every Republican in
his respective ward.
Although the election Department has

process. Horace Greeley Knowles, chair
man of the Republican City Committee,
last night said especial attention would be
paid to watching men who have moved
since the last election, and not having had
their place of residences noted by the reg
istration officers, would attempt to vote in
districts where they formerly lived.
Repeaters and personators, if they
should attempt to do any of their work,
will be attended to in the proper way. 1t
Is said that even under the present system
of registration, there were several votes
cast last November by men who do not live
in this city The work done by some of the
inspectors last year will be guarded
against. When illegA II voting is permitted
by the consent and with tho completely of
the election inspectors, that offense is GOV.
cred by the law, to De found in chapter 80,
volume 10. Laws OfDeliware in sections
"a, 80, 36. 81, 80 and 40.
The chairman in discussing the sltua
ton remarked: "lhe biggest part of the
tghtwill be on Saturday night after the
polls are closed. There Was a meeting of
Democratic workers on Wednesday night,
ac which ii is said schemes were made to
count out Republican candidates at some
of the polls. This could be done by mis-
reading the ballots.
Whether this will be attempted, | can
not say. But it is Il good thing to watch.
1t is feared that some of the Democratic
election inspectors will attempt to prevent
citizens from being present when the votes
are counted Us was done in some of the dis
trcts last November, in which the returns
We're changed on the tallyshects.
1.-THE City Committee" continued Mr..
Knowles, offers reward Of two hun
dred dollars for the detection of every Of
fcnse against the laws, and where the Of
tenders are caught by more than one wit
ness we shall divide the reward between
them. We have no money to put into
this election, but we have more than
enough to pay for the detection of crime.
nlimidalion-inside or outside of the
polling places pers onation, rep at ng, ig-
noring the challenger, refusal OF inspec-
tors to take ballots, defacing or sUiling the
ballots, refusal to admit citiztns to see the
vote counted, ,asreading the ballots tam
pering with the tally sheets and certid.
Gates are all statutory otfenses easily
proven and severely punished.
We have the active support of even Dem
oCrats in every ward in the city in tho di.
rection of ferreting out all such offenders. -
Chapter 81 volume ~, Laws of Delaware,
partil u arly apples to this election, and
we mean to enforce its provisions to the
letter, If it take whole year to follow mp
the yiolators thereof.
The election laws of this state are the
most rigid in Revised Code and united
party makes it easy for the COMMITTEES to
apply them on Saturday. Every qualified
voter you know, has the right to see the
vote counted In the evening after the polls
are closed. ANA our own safety largely lies
in the xer 81 Of this right.
