REPUBLICANS FAIL 70 AGREE


After seven and one-half hours OF de-
liberation and the exchange OF numerous
oyertures, the Republicans and Union Re- 4
nublcans state committees Thursday fail
ed to agree upon a single state and Con-,
eressional ticket. At $50 o'clock Sena-
tor ]. Frank. Alice and Secretary of State
Caleb r. Layton, who were dickering in
behalf Of the Union Republican organiza-
ton, received the last statement from the
Republican committee. Placing the
communication into his pocket, Senator
Alice remarked to the Republican sub
committee that had presented it to him.
nYnur communication will be filed in
the archives OF our committee. +"
Thus came to naught the efforts OF the
organizations to get together. First tile
Unionist submitted names Of seven men
from which they desired the Regulars Sc
lect compromise for governor.
Rejecting these names, the Regulars
submitted the names of eight prominent
Republicans, from which they desired the
Unionists to select the governor.
Thrusting aside these names, the I'm
ionists hurled back proposal that the
two organizations enter into common pri-
maries throughout the state at this late
day to elect delegates to state conyen-
ton that would name single Republi-
can state and Congressional ticket.
To this the Regulars replied that there
is no legal authority under which COM
mon primaries can ow be held in New
Castle county, as such primaries would
be contrary to the provisions OF the pri-
mary election law.
The Union Republicans answered that
they were aware that the common pri-
maries eonld not be held legally under
the primary election law, but they made
the proposition to ascertain the will of
the majority Of the Republican voters Of
the state.
In their reply to this the Regulars set
forth in detail reasons why such pri-
mary could not legally be held, and why
the Union Republicans was not practic-
able especially after both parties have
held their primaries. When this reply
was handed to Senator Alice, he remark
ed: "Your communication will be filed in
4 |.
That terminated negotiations for the
day. No further meetings Of the two
state committee have been arranged, and
harmony is as far distant as it was before
the two organizations exchanged over
lures yesterday.
The names from which tile Republi-
cans desired the Unionists to select a
compromise governor, but which were
rejected, were:
DR.. Joseph Ii. Chandler, OF Centrevile.
Preston Lea, Of Wilmington
Otho Nowlard, Of Wilmington.
William W. Lobdell, of Wilmington.
Henry Cleaver, Of Delaware City.
Theodore T. Clark, Of Delaware City.
Merit n. Willis, OF Middletown.
Daniel W. Corbitt, Of Odessa.
The names from which the Union Re.
publicans desired the Republicans to Sc
lect compromise for Governor, but
which were not acceptable, were:
Henry G. Conrad, Of Wilmington.
DR.. Abram E. Frantz, of Wilmington.
General l. Thomas Parker, of Wilmin-
ton.
DR.. George W. Marshall, Of Milford.
George Ii. Murray, Of Viola.
Daniel J. Layton, of Georgetown.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION

The vote at the primary last
Saturday was larger than the
combined Democratic and Union
Republican vote at their primar-
les. There were contests on
nearly all the county offices and
the nominees won out because
the majority Of the voters sup
ported them. The contest for
Comptroller as well as that for
Clerk of the Peace was close,
while those for Sheriff and Coro-
ner were each won by a decided
majority.
Locally, the contests were for
Levy Court Commissioner and for
Assessor. While there had been
considerable talk of opposition
to Mr.. Willis denomination, the
voters were not misled. By a
vote Of nearly 5 to |, he was
chosen as the Republican nomi-
nee. The same remarks apply
to Mr.. McMullin for Assessor
who won out by more than
three to one. The primary here
was quiet and orderly. While
the vote was larger than has ever
before been cast at Midd1etown
at a primary election, and cor
respondingly large number Of
people were on the street, there
was no drunkenness or. disorder.
The selection made by the Re
publicans for their Hundred and
District nominees offers no hope
to the Democrats of a split in the
vote. Regardless of conditions
elsewhere all Republicans of ST.
Georges Hundred, can and will
support these nominees and they
will be elected.
Jacob H. Emerson the candi-
date for Representative is as
well known to the people of St.
Georges Hundred as any other
man in the Hundred, and where
he is best known he will poll the
most votes. Our Democratic
friends say the fact that he is
a temperate man will cost him
votes. But, for years he has
been burying Democrats singly.
On November 9th we are certain
he will bury them collectively.
For Road Commissioner, the
Republicans accorded a re-nom-
ination unanimously TO I. Edgar
Clayton, and his record will be
his platform. We wish that
every voterin this Hundred would
compare the records Of the two
candidates, both of whom have
served in the office for term Of
four years. If they would do SO,
every tax paying voter would
surely cast his vote for the Re-
publican nominee.
For Assessor, William McMul-
lin was chosen and he is in every
way qualified for this or any
other Office in the gift Of the
people. More than any other
Office, the assessorship demands
care, accuracy and efficiency.
We believe Mr.. McMullin pos
sesses all of these qualities in
high degree. We shall take up
the important Office Of Levy
Court Commissioner in a later
issue.
