ACCORDING to certain persons Del
aware must be the most corrupt
State in the Union, and the men put
forward for Office, are in keeping
with the reputation of the State.
Delaware already has had too much
notoriety, great deal of which is
entirely unnecessary. There are a
large number of men in this city
and State who are tired of the fight
which has been going on for the
last eight years. The Republican
voters want two U. S. Senators, no
matter whom they are. Any Re-
publican, says the average voter, is
better than Democrat to represent
Delaware. The Evening Journal
DON'T think the Republican voters
know their mind and in an editorial
last evening says;
But we must not forget that
President Roosevelt has behind him
an honorable record. His attitu le
on the question of public decency
Is well known, and it is an insult-a
stupid insult-to make him appear
. III a role which would lower him in
the minds OF all right thinking peo-
pie. Nc; Delaware is all right, and
Theodore Roosevelt is all right. The
SCOTS, the Addickses and the Byrnes
are not running this State just yet"
The REPUBLICAN would like to
ask who is responsible for the cleo
ton of the present sheriff of this
county, Is he repl esentati,e of
the men the Journal would have
elected to the county and State Of
fees?
