action on the part of the President will
not diminish my personal and political
attachment to him. But | VIII have
something to say about the narrow
minded 'party-smashers' who, whipped
to a standstill here. run over 10 Oyster
Bay begging the President to come over
from Macedonia TO help them II 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
Republican senators with Mr.. Addicks
as one. then let them have me removed
from office. If it is political offense
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 Legislature. and this
by the election Of two Republican
United States senators, with Mr.. Ad-
dicks as one Of them, then LET me ba
removed from office. If it is d political
oifense to have the policies OF the RE-
publican party determined by the vast
Oody OF the people as against a ca.bal
OF political pigmies, then let me he re
moved from office. =

MIN to place himself in the position
wnere the country will hold him re-
sponsible for aiding in a plan to tnrn
this State over to the Democrats rather
tnan have two Republican senator's II
Mr.. Addicks is one of them. that NO
threats of their can swerve me for
moment from a course which I have
adopted ON reflection knowing IL to be
right The meanness of their motive
Is seen when they seek to repress nv
political activity because 1 am a Dis
trict Attorney, and when they promote
the political activity Of William n
Heald, Postmaster of Wilmington. Del
and H. II. Billany, assistant postmas-
Ter OF Wilmington, and Robert II

mington, Del.
THE hour has come for Delawareans
TO lace the issue before us, with manly
courage. The Democrats and thel
party-smashers' are agreed in de-
nouncing Addicks. They -aaunt the
name of Addicks as a painted devil TO
frighten the eyes of political Childhood,
Deleve that an honest and courageous
effort to maintain Republican euprem-
acy IN the 5 eoatelftDashr shrdlu us
acy IN the State Of Delaware will meet
the support of our people. and I be- |
lleVe our victory is certain over the
combined forces of the Democrats and

TO the side of the 'party-smasning Re I
puDlcans OF Delaware they are, so far
as,l am concerned. at liberty to do so,
but believe it for the best interest Of
hepubicanism that he should keep his
hands of this Delaware fight. Ii he
lets us have fair ned. with no lavCrs,
we will smash the party boilers to
pieces. This spirit of faction must be
stopped. ReDublicanism in Delaware
must be placed on a strong and sub
stantial foundation. We must have
but one party in Delaware In l
1904. We must save the State /
TO Republicanism. We must have
two Republican United States senators
elected by the Republican caucus. We
greatly desire that President ROose- /
velt should be found aiding us in this
work. l believe that he will aid us in
this work. l believe that he will see a
way to avoid committing himself in
favor of the 'party-smashing Republl-
cans by removing me from Office. Let
the President wait only a little longer
The people of Delaware win remove me
from the office of District Attorney by
electing me a member of Congress.
