STATE CONVENTION

The Republican State Commit
tee on Thursday ordered a State
Convention to be called for Tues
day, August 18th, 1904, for the
purpose of nominating candidates
for Presidential Electors, Repre-
sentative in Congress, Governor,
and a whole state ticket. This
is the earliest possible date at
which a State Convention can be
held, as the delegates from New
Castle County must be chosen
under the provision of the Pri-
mary Election Law. 1t is not
generally known that the last
Legislature amended the Pri
mary Election Law to provide for
the holding of Primary anytime
after the first days registration.
This year that date is Saturday,
August 9th, and the delegates
cannot be chosen until Monday,
and the Convention held on Tues
day. This action of the State
Committee means that the Re-
publican State ticket will be first
in the field, and the wisdom dis
played in the selection of candi-
dates will go far towards pre-
noting one ticket, or two. We be.
lieve that it will be possible for
this Convention to nominate a
ticket that will be acceptable to
the Union Republicans and
which will receive the endorse
ment of that party's convention.
The result cannot be achieved,
however, by the adoption of the
men or methods urged by the
EUe1ai1ag Journal or the SUSSEX Re
publican. The candidate for Gov
ernor, for instance, should be a
Republican, who will treat both
factions honestly and fairly, as
we think the present Governor
was disposed to do until driven
to the Union Republicans by the
abuse of certain men and organs.
We can understand the position
of the SUSSEX Republican in its de.
mand for two tickets from "tol
to bottom" 1t has nothing tC
lose by such course. The few
Regular Republican south OF
Duck Creek, while honest in tn ell
convictions and fearless in the
fight put up for morality ,and
good government are hardly to be
considered as a political factor
In this county, however, there
are 1000 or more Regular>Repub
lican who are just asshonest and
fearless, but who do not belive
that it is necessary to turn the
state and county over to the
Democrats in order to beat Ad.
dicks, as they know the same re
suit can be reached without the
attendant loss of power and posi-
ton. It therefore becomes nece-
essary to be careful and cautions
in the selection of delegates to
the convention of August 9th,
which may prove to be turning
point in the long fight agains
corruption and bossism.
