! CAMPAIGN IN GOOD HUMOR.
1T is indlsputable that a division
exists between the Union Republi.
cans-a name l hope to sink out OF
existence in 1904. and the Regular
Republicans. 1t occurs 10 me that
the hour is very serious one. 1t
is no time ior the language OF hate
or yltuperation. II is my purpose
/ to conduct this campaign with good
humor. l will be found standing
in the front OF the magnificent
number of $4,000 Union Republi.
cans expecting to administer a
crushing blow to the Democrats Of
Delaware. l am in favor Of the old
blood. but submit to the considera-
tiou OF the people whether it ia not
time for the infusion of some new
blood into the state. l stand for
The old blood. not because l ever
loved it, but because | regard its
existence and It's traditional force.
| know my fealty, my duty to
leaders, and that was never Ques-
toned. l was appointed TO office
by as honest a man as have ever
met Colonel Henry A DUPONT. !
never could follow the lie leadership OF
the little fellows. l could follow
the masterful leadership Of Colonel
dupont any time, but l won't follow
some men who surround him. l
owe a great deal to Colonel DUPONT
and am conscious Of the debt.
IF the American life has pro-
duced nobler character than VIM.
Mckinley I have failed to read the
pages of his life. I would as leave
cease to believe an immoral princi-
pal could have his support My
attitude on the Delaware situation
was taken at the personal request
and instance Of President Mckinley.
l 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 division between the Presi-
dent and the people of this state,
I submit that my first duty was to
my President.
when l took the office of dis
trict attorney took an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States. There is not constitu-
tional lawyer who will not say that
a sovereign state fails to support the
Constitution. Therefore have un-
dertaken to support the Constitution
by trying to have two senators
elected. II there was a law, l might
inaict these irreconcilablo seven,
but there being no law l take this
method. l Lam tired of having the
state ruled by cabal of seven men.
II consider no solution Of the
problem adequate that does not
favor division of the sena tors be-
tween the old blood and the new.
l expect to see after this coming
election twenty-seven or more stall
wart Republicans who will restore
Delaware to her place at the force
in national life and in the van Of
industrial life.
