WHO holds Government position in
Washington said 20 the writer, you
10 not know how it makes Us Dgit-

why Delaware hats two vacAuitI"s
in the U. 5. Senate. Two Senator's
from Delaware WOull mean Il GOyI
deal for the State rs far as help
from Washington is cone .vHpI.
-Theu Delaware would receive It's
quota Of the positions the Govern
ment has at It's disposal. Delaware
has less positions to ITS credit than
any other State in the CIlOn. This
state Of affairs Is easy t. explain
If Senator IilImau could secure a
million dollars for Charleston from
a Republican Congress, Il Republic
can Senator from Delaware could
have secured decent Appropriation
for the ChriStlanu and the Delaware
rivers. The men who can eil'e t the
election Of two Republican L. j.
Senators viii earn the everlasting
gratitude Of every Republican voter
in Delaware. Au extra session aud
two L. :. Senators elected is much
better than taking chances On the
next Legislature containing II Re
publican majority. The Democrats
have their eye on the uuXt lrLslu
ture and will spend money to eject
their men. Two Democratic t. :.
Senators will be Il big prize to work
for.

this way to raise it. Council well
knew that the property owners
would kick and not being able to
help themselves, as they thought,
would pay the tax levied As they
have done for years. All Council
wants is the money and the property
owners can kick. The REPUBLICAN,
has tried to show the injustice and
Is pleased that the expose - about
to result III II public meeting Of pro
test and indignation Keep up the
good work and good results will be
sure to follow.
