With the election Of Mr.. Byrne a
vacancy would still exist and the
Republicans Of Delaware would have
chance to vote for candidates on

The Democrats contend that the Z,
calling of special session of the
Legislature shows a weakness on
the part of the Republicans By the
election of two Senators and only N.
one candidate for Congress on the
Republican tickets the Democrats
would have nothing to fight for this
fall and the Republicans would have
an incentive to go to the polls and
wipe out by their ballots the am
bltion of the Democrats.
