yandever at meeting Of the East Side
Republican Association on Saturday
evening.
Whereas, Francis ]. McNulty now oc-
cupies seat in the Senate of the State
Of Delaware to which he is neither NOR

would have received a majority of all the
votes cast in his district, and
Whereas, being thus deprived Of q sfaf
in the Senate te-which he rs morally and
legally entitled, and to obtain which he
has entered contest against the said
Francis J. McNulty, therefore be it
Resolved that we urge the Republican
members of the Senate to investigate
| most carefully all of the facts concern

McNulty, we believing that such an in
vestigation will certainly result in the
favor and to the benefit of the sale

and request that he be given the seal
to which we honestly and sincerely be
iicve he is entitled. Be it
