To His Excellency Ebe w. Tunnel,
Governor Of Delaware: After mature
reelection, covering a period OF sNeral
hours. l have come 10 the conclusion
that have no earthly cause for thank
fulness. / am sorry that this is so, for
/ make it a point to be on the popular
side of every question, but in this in
stance | must resign myself Co a posi-
tiCn which affords no earthly excuse for
a demonstration en- my part. Yours
truly, Theodore Townsend.
My Dear Sir I like to be obliging
but there are times when a mans con-
science compels him to draw the line.
Your fellow-townsman
ice Truxton.
Mr. Tunnel: | shall give, but with
the reservation that you change the
time to the day next succeeding the day
fixed by our party rules for the holding |
Of our shrievalty nomination election. |
Francis $. Bradley.
Sir: I believe in justice to all men. |
refuse absolutely to become party tol
a scheme set up by Democrats and bolt
ers. The people of Brandywine hun
dred will not submit TO having their
wounded feelings ridden over rough
shod by conspirators who have blighted
the political prosperity of the best man
| that ever lived. / can imagine Nero
hddling while Rome burned. but, sir, as
one of the original Addicks men, | re-
| fuse to abide by any proclamation un
less it is countersigned by the chairman
and secretary of the Union Republican
State Committee AS | said before, 1
beive in justice to all men, and that
Mr. Speaker, or Mr.. Governor, / mean
we have not got II Mr.. Bach, Mr.. Hig-
gins, Mr.. Short, Mr. Clark and Mr.. Brad
ford want to offer up thanks, all well
and good, but l protest against the ma
Chinery of the executive department Of
our state government being set in mo-
tion to coerce honest and GOd-fearing
men to offer up thanks when they don't
want to. We resent this movement
anu iall ulOL GNiAe AAuI ARAA0NNA Va -
Edward Addicks to stamp upon its face
the seal of his disapproval and condem-
nation. Yours,
Robert ]. Handy.
Sir: This is a pretty time to ask an
Addicks man to offer up thanks, amt
it? Jack Spring.
Governors The Union Republicans
of my ward have instructed me to no.
tify you that they have fixed upon Wed
nesday. November "A, as a time fOl
Thanksgiving. Please change the date
in your proclamation TO correspond OF
this Thanksgiving business will b'
busted wide open. With respect. | am,
David Virtue.
Governor Tunnell I shall show m!
contempt for your proclamation by go
ing out cunning on November %. Yoi
have not treated us as you should and
do not propose to become the passiv
victim OF the Vaccinations of yoursel
and Hugh c. Browne.

Dear S,r:-Do you think / ought {,
be .il9nkful when | was elected secre
cary Of che Union Republican Stat
Committee and never permitted TO ex
ercise the functions Of the Office, al
though my name appeared on the let
ter-heads. I shall spend November 2
. in washing my hands Of the Who'll
darned business. Harry Whiteman.
Sir: I think that you have exceede
your constitutional authority in order
4 Ts.ln
are hunting for trouble l would sugges
S that you insert a clause exemptin
, Union Republicans from the operation
q of your proclamation. 1t is a wonde
+ to me that Jim Hughes did not sugges
this to you in the first place. If we al
. forced to extremities we shall TAX
= mandamus proceedings.
Walter H. Hayes.
I Mr. Tunnel: What is the use Of rul
e bing it in on us? We have never dor
r anything to you that / know of. W
a are your friends and entitled to SON

: people a fighting chance for salvatio
= if not for life.
George w. Marshall.
K Honored Sir: | want you to distinct
n understand that / have nothing to
Il thankful for and therefore l do not pr
i pose to be thankful. II is bad enoua
Y for a gang of regular Republican br
gands to bunco us out of the fruits of
d. hard-lcught victory, without having
- Democratic governor step in and tell
. to give thinks after il is over. The pc
pie in my district are made of stern

Dear Sir: Mr.. Addicks requests me
inform you that if you insist upon hi
e and his people being thankful at tn
l. time he will buy up all the poultry
