Republican victory is assured in
Delaware. The state will so Repub-
ncan for Roosevelt by at least 5000
majority. The state will give Preston
Lea. the Republican candidate for gov
ernor "a amjority of 1900.
The talk of the Democrats about Lea
being cut so much did not materialize
and the Wilmington banker will be the
next governor of Delaware. The ma
jority i'm the State is even larger than
Republicans had expected. Democrats
lrealizng that this was their last chance
made every effort and tried every trick
to win, but they were showed under.
The cutting was not as large as was
expected.
Besides electing the entire State
/ ticket and those in the county the Re
publicans will control the Legislature
on joint ballot. thus assuring a Repub-
lican Senator 10 succeed Dr. l.. II. Ball.
The Republican majority in the ma
