Brown arrived. lie was shown "a subsu-
tute for the original resolution, but re-
fused TO sign Il. The other three did sign
the substitutc ana at the meeting Of the

was adopted.
Brown refused to sign 1t as II cut out

The substitute adopted is as follows
IS. Frank Ewart Chairman Union
Republican County Committee, Dear Sir;
Your reply rejecting the proposition for
common primary and single ticket was
subInitted TO and considered by the Re
publican county committee, at its meet
ing on August rs. and the undersigned
committee directed to reply to your COM
munlcation and let you and your COM
mittee know the sentiments and wishes
of our committee. as expressed at the
meeting today.
'rrhe purpose Of our organization being
to support the fundamental principles OF
the Republican party in national state
and local affairs, and desiring its success
above all things else and Il being an ac-
kow.edged fact that two Republican
primarles and two Republican county
tickets will result IN the election OF the
Democratic county ticket. including Ave
~ the seven Levy Court Commissioners,
and all but two or three legislative can
didatcs. we are strongly IN favor Of a
common primary and single county tick
ct. We do not desire our county and
state government TO be turned OVER at
this election to the Democrats as was the
government of the city of Wilmington at
the election IN June Of last year. and 70
avert a repetition OF that political crime
we want to make clear TO you and your
committee and the Republican voters of
New Castle county, that we stand for,
and demand a common primary and a
single county ticket. Another reason for
our taking this position IS, that unless
we have a single county ticket the total
Republican registration will be greatly
reduced as compared with 1902 and 1900
and win probably result IN the defeat Of
the Republican electors and Stale ticket.
.The demand made by you that our
county committee force the Republican
county committees Of Kent and Sussex
counties to oaree on some matters affect
ing their respective counties so'ely. as d
condition precedent to your agreeing tC
a common primary In this county Is both
. unreasonable and impractcable. ouI
committee has no jurisdiction nor contro
whatever Of either the Republican State

By a Resolution 1t Is So De
clared by the Regular Re-
publican Committee
COMM0NPRIMARIESIN THIS COUNTY

At a meeting OF the Regular Republican
County Committee held on Saturday af-
ternoon it was decided that although
Regular Republicans favor common pri-
marles in New Castle county and will
work with a view TO enccting that end
they will take no hand TO further such
action in Kent or Sussex counties
The action was taken practically under
the direction of United States Senator

Isaac r. Brown, chairman; Ahram l..
Tyre, John Titus. Howard d. Ross and
III. II Billany was appointed two weeks
ago the chairman called the committee
together and all the members agreed tC
the following draft on the question OF

county TO unite with this committee IN
appointing a joint committee of hve mem.
bers from each with the purpose OF secur.
ing sommon party primary elections foi

Whereas. The aforesaid proposition wal
denied by the Union Republican commit
tee rpon the ground that such actor
should be preceded by "a general "equi
table agreement upon one State ticke
and a common primary In county mat
ters IN the counties OF Kent and SUSSEX
as "A concurrent condition to a common
primary in the county OF New Castle, b'

Resolved, That II Is the sense OF thi
committee although ln no manner saw
as Individual Republicans assuming re
sponsibnity for any of the differences IN
volvod beyond those relating to New

ment upon one State ticket should be ef
fccted at the earliest possible date by th
joint action OF the two Republican Stat
Committees, and that common primaric
In county matters should be accorded d
all of the three counties.
Resolved therefore. that this commit
tee -elterates its offer OF July 30 last 70
appointment Of subcommittee of hv
from each of the county committees wit
the view OF arranging for common prl
maries in New Castle county, carncsu
urging at The same time upon the stat
