FRIDAY. OCTOBER I. 1907.

WE don't think 1t feasible to hold Re-
I publican convention at the present time us
advocated by Pro Bono Pubico In his com.
munication printed in another column OF
the REPUBLICAN today. 1t will be well
enough 10 allow the voters the right to
vote on the question of represent alton, es-
pecially concerning New Castle county.
The convention will keep for some time

are afrnid'before election day rolled around
differences would arise in the party and

Ing for and preaching to tho people Of

was an insult on its face and they well

10 the Regular Republicans. We don't
think the New Castle county Republicans
are my better than their brethren In tho
two lower counties, but we do think that
twelve thousand voters should have as
much, II not a little more say in the con.

The idea of New Castle county man OF.

article cites the fancied insults and wrongs
OF ono man in the Republican party, losing
sight Of the fact that Others have said some
very uncomplimentary things about men
who are ut least honest in their convictions
