The narro-minded party -smashers"
WHIP, whipped to a stand-still here,
rur over to Oyster Bay begging
the President to come over from
to help them. If they
wish to commit the President to
the foolish policy of turning this
State over to the Democrats and
having two Democratic Senators
rather than two Republicans Sen
ators with Mr.. Addicks as one,
then let them remove me from office
If it is a political offence to use
every legitimate effort to have the
Constitution of the United States
fulfilled in the State of Delaware
by the election of United States
Senators by the Delaware legisla-
tue, and this by the election of
two Republican United States Sen
atOrs, with Mr.. Addicks as one of
them, then let me be removed from
Office. If it is a political offence |
to have the policies of the Repub-
lican party determined by the vast |
body of the people as against
cabal of political pigmies, then let
me be removed from Office. I say
now to the "party-smashers" who
are leading the President into the
false position of promotion of
fa,tionalism in Delaware, and who
are advising him to place himself
in the position where the country
will hold him responsible for aid
ing in a plan to turn this State over
to the Democrats rather than have
two Republican Senators if Mr.
/ Addicks is one of them, that no
threats of theirs can swerve me for
a moment from a course which I
have adopted on reflection know
| irIg it to be right. The meanness
o.; their motive is seen when they
seek to repress my political activity
because I am a District Attorney
and when they promote the politi-
cal activity Of William H. Head,
postmaster of Wilmington, and
ri. H. Billany, assistant postmas-
ter of Wilmington and Robert G.
! Houston collector of the port of
Wilmington.
"The hour has come for Della
wareans to face the issue before us
with manly courage. The Demo
Gratis and the party smashers" are
agreed in denouncing Mr.. Addicks.
They flaunt the name of Addicks
ali a painted devil to brighten the
/ eyes of political children. believe
that in honest and courageous
z effort to maintain Republican sup
r,smacy in the State of Delaware
? will meet the support of our people
E and / believe our victory is certain
Y over the combined forces of tn,
democrats and the "party-smash
b ing" Republicans. If the putatiy,
f friends of the President desire t.
v commit his administration to tn,
: side of the party smashing" Re
2 publicans of Delaware they are, 81
Il far as I am concerned, at liberty t
y do so, but l believe it for the bes
# interest of Repubiicanism that h
e should keep his hands off thi
J. Delaware fight. If he lets us hav
& fair field with no favors we will
a smash the party boilers to piece.
/ This spirit of faction must be STOP
e Ied. Republicanism in Delawar
n rnust be placed on a strong an
Il substantial foundation. We mus
Ie have but one party in Delaware i

to believe that he will aid us in tn
lie work. 1 believe that he will see
Sc way to avoid committing himse
III in favor of the "party-smashine

ed d little longer. The people of Del
