Time for Wise Action.
TOMORROW is the last day for fl
ing tickets for the official ballot
with Clerk of the Peace Quigley. 1t
remains for the Republicans to see
that the harmony agreement adopt
cd sometime ago is carried out in
the filing of list of nominees en-.
titled to receive the support of the
whole party. Since there was no
contest except as to two Of the po-
sitions-the Senatorial nomination
In the First district and the Repre-
sentative nomination in the Second
district there should be no difficult
ty az to the single character of the
rest Of the ticket. Apropos of the
altered ticket printed in the Sun,
Mr.. Addicks' personal organ, Mr.
Addicks il reported as saying: "One
object I had in announcing that
ticket was to set the people of Della
ware to thinking over what the
boilers were trying to do" In other
words it was something of bluff,
and not a happy Que, coming from
the National Committeeman for
Delaware. Since it is very ques
tionable whether that altered ticket
can get place on the official bal.
lot, the principal business Of the Re-
publican campaign managers will
be to adjust the controversy in the
Senatorial and Representative dis
tricts already mentioned AS to the
Senatorial nomination in the First
district, the result depends upon the
decision concerning the Eleventh
voting district. If the returns are
allowed to stand, then James w.
Robertson will be the nominee; if
the district is thrown out because of
fraud, George w, Sparks will have
the majority.
AS to the Representative nomi-
nation in the Second district, it is
held that Erwin F. Philips is dis
qualified because he will not have
lived in the district for year pre-
ceding the election. That is Il mat
ter over which there need be no
controversy, for if he is unqualified
he is unqualified. That would leave
Charles A. Rudolph as the nominee
without having to go into the Elev-
enth district controversy again. Al
through of course, Philips would
otherwise be in the same situation
as Robertson.
Upon the proper adjustment of
the matters in question, may depend
the outcome of the November cleo
hon in New Castle county.
