VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST
Filling Federal Offices With rIarylanders-
Don't Think the Delaware People are
Fools II They are at Loggerheads>

Tho Republicans In our city are up In
arms against the appointing OF Deputy
Wells o. Elkton to take the place OF vii.
liam "A. Robinson, In tho revenue service.
ST. .ch an appointment by Collector Parlett
of Baltimore IL looked upon as an insult
to our people, There ARD surely enough
capable REPUBLICANS in our city TO till all
of tho federal offices that RICH fully bslong
to Delawareans. 1t is said that Collector
Parlett said that owing to the discussions
In tho Republican party in Delaware that
no could appoint, whom he pleased to MI
tho positions in the revenue service IN our
city, and that he Intended to I'll the posi-.
lions with Maryland men, is q rebuke to
our people for their fnctional fight.
The President owes 1T to our people to
call halt upon tho Collector and let him
know In no uncertain language that At,
cannot do the great injustice th"' NV
set out to. towards tho Re- ,1.u NJ na,
In Delaware. What" >publtcan party

What IL bawl there would have gone
forth If a Delawarean had been selected to
hold any Of tho federal positions in Baltl.
more. How the press Of tho Monumental
City would have sent up vigorous protest
irrespective to party affiliations.
Tho Delaware people arc not dogs that
they should be treated In the manner In
which the collector insists on treating
them and they will resent 1t to the bitter
end. Mr.. Wells mission should be
resented and such q vigorous protest made
that the President would interfere and SEQ
that our people are treated with the court
esy due them. The Democratic admins.
tration never treated that party as the Re-
publican party when in power have Seen
ftto treat the Delaware Republicans.
The writer Of these notes voices the senti-
n.onts Of our people when no says he
would much rather see a Democrat of tho
soil hold the federal Offices than Mary
land Republican under Republican ad-
lhniStration.
Tho Democrats don't treat their ad.
herents with such discourtesy as has been
inflicted upon tho Delaware Republicans.
But then all mon are not built the same
way and want everything in sight for
their hungry henchmen. We insist ON
Dcawartans being appointed to the
Federal Offices which are located in their
State. No outsiders arc wanted or should
be tolerated.
Delaware ws know is small State, but
Its electors may be badly needed at some
future time and tho surley manner IN
which they are being treated Will MT
help to swell tho Republican vote, by any
means, in elections to be hold. You can't
drive the Delaware voters and that fact
should DO plainly apparent by this time
to avon . blind man,
They who wont SEQ and can sec should
BIO made to Soc There Is no use of mine
ing matters at this time, and we speak tho
minds Of the rank and file of tho Republi-
can party, when We enter our protest
against the filling Of the federal positions
here by outsiders or carpet haggerS. A
DcIawarean is as good rs any other man,
We caro- not where he halls from, and Is
as fully capable of performing the duties
as any of the imported mon sent here. We
know when our rights have been trampled
upon, and mean to lot others know that it
don't go down with ~. Collector Parlett
may think he knows It all, and he may DO
looking out for his political future, but
such appointments will not help him to
gain his ends, hut will be the means of
d3hcartenlng the Republicans OF our city
and State.
A Delaware Republican isas good any
day as Maryland Republican and that
fact should not escape the collectors mem.
Dry. But individuals like Republicans
arc very ungratetul or their protest would
never have been entered against tho Col.

Tho funny part is that anything Is good
enough for Delaware Republicans.
The men who have held the federal po.
sitons in the Revenue department. sue.
cceded Republicans four years ago, and
now that they have had n hold of tho pub
lie teat for four years are very reluctant to
let 30 of good thing and want to hold on
for life whether they are fully capable of
filling the position or not.
We'll, there Is ono thing certain, $1,000
Jobs are not picked up every day md
short working hours thrown in. We don't
wonder at the kick deputy collector Stay

u snug berth.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd in
writing an opinion en- the removal Of dep
utv collectors, which will interest the men
whose terms Of oiliCo have expired and
which Is sure to sustain the Collectors Of
internal revenue and tho United States
Marshals who have discharged a large
number of deputies, and allow them to
collect their wills and turn in and vote for
the party that placed them IN Office four
years ago.
To the v!ctors belong the offices all the
time. That Is our motto and is the foun.
datlon Of our form Of government. Any
party that advocates otherwise will BIO
moved under at the next election. Men
cannot fool voters all the tim6. II sultn.
