Smyrna times., 1902-09-10

safe plurality of about 1900.
cit is indisputable that division
exists between the Union Republicans
"a name I hope to sink out of exist
ence in 1904, and the Regular Republl-
cans. 1t is my purpose to conduct
this campaign with good humor. 1
will be found standing in front of the
magnificent number of $4,000 Union
Republicans expecting to administer
crushing blow to the Democrats OF
Delaware.
ST was appointed to Office by as
honest man as have ever met
Colonel Henry A. dupont. L never
could follow the leadership of the lit |
tie fellows. could follow the leader
ship of Colonel dupont any time, but
1 wont follow some men who surround
him. 1 owe a great deal to Colonel
dupont and am conscious of the debt.
eff the American life has produced
nobler character than William Nc
Kinley have failed to read the pages
of his life. l would as leave cease to
believe the lily is white as to believe
an immoral principle could have his
support. My attitude on the Della
ware situation was taken at the per-
sonal request and instance of Presl-
dent Mckinley. call upon William
r. Finn, one of the irrecOncilable
seven, to say whether or not William
Mckinley did not expressly say to him
that the election of Colonel dupont
and Addicks (prolonged applause),
would be an acceptable solution OF the
Delaware problem. When there came
: a division between the President and
the people of this State, submit that
my first duty was to my President.

There is not constitutional lawyer

state fails to elect Senators, it fails tc

I have undertaken to support the Con
