at the Good they Might Accomplish.
William Michael Byrne, Distric
United States Attorney for the Stat
OF Delaware. was in Washington las,
week and while there opened himsel
to interview on the Delaware political
situation. ''The Republicans of Dal
aware" says Mr.. Byrne, ''have tbei,
troubles; but the affairs of the party
are IN very competent hands. Roth
sides are united in their resolution ~
work out a Republican victory newt
tal. If Dupont consents to lead the
Republican forces again, the country
can rely on it that the success with
which he has managed the party
through several years of very irving
and complex conditions will apa,n
crown his efforts. 1t was Dunont
who' In McKinley's first term, retired
from Congress very ernest and able
Democrat-Mr. Handy-and in his
term occurred the election to CONGRESS-
OF a very vigilant Republican-Dr
Bail-whom we hope to see reelected.

Whether Mr.. Dupont will lead or
not L am not able to say. The differ
ences between you and me on certain
grave questions affecting Republican
ism In Delaware are fundamental and
L have not shared his political conn
sells for several months. 1 believe in
taxing no chances with the Demo-
Gratis. They have formed a powerful
combination between Messrs. Sanls-
bury and Kenney. The lower part of
the state has been allotted to Kennev.
the upper to Salisbury, and their is
not clash in their ambitions. Both
are very able lawyers and trained
pubic speakers. Their careers could
De snufed out like a candle if the
Delaware Legislature were called in
extra session early in August and the
" Republican Legislators would 90
INTO caucus and elect two of the best
republican Senators they can get
This would wonderfully increase tba
of Republican voters and
put the Democrats out of business.
DUR victory would be so complete that
ts results would last for 20 years.
The friends of Dupont can secure
this happy result if they act now.
They can go into binding caucus and
ecure his election.
