Centreville, Del. Nov. 1. 1904
Winfield S. Quigley, Esq. Clerk Of tho
Peace. New Castle county. Delaware.
Sir; ! hereby protest and object to
your printing on the official ballot the
name OF Preston Lea, or Of any other
man than myself. as the candidate OF
the Republican party to the Office Of
Governor OF Delaware.
The Republican party. under the pri-
mary election law applicable to this
county, and under it's party rules. must
nominate rs candidate Tor governor at
a state convention, and at this con-
ivention the delegates from New Castle
county must be elected at a primary
,of the qualified voters of New Castle
B., county.
d such primary was held on August s.
i 1904 The delegates so elected Ia this
lcounty met with the delegates from
lKcnt county and Sussex county I'M
Estate convention on August .. 1904. and
then and there nominated me unani-
mously as the candidate OF the Re-
publican party of the state of Dela-
WARE, for the Office OF governor.
accepted that nomination I'M open
convention, with the distinct under
lstanding that / was not TO withdraw
until the election should decide the
contest. II is true that the state COM
lmittee or the Republican party did
subsequently request me 10 resign from
the ticket but it is also true. that I
Iemphatcally declined to give such
resignation. That committee has no
power under the law. and no right in
lview OF the understanding ON which I
was nominated, TO remove me from the
ticket.
I am. nevertheless Informed by the
public press. ana otherwise. that DR..
L. Heisler Ball and other officers OF
the Republican state Committee have
deviated from the path or their duty
land have filed with you the name Of
Preston Lea instead OF my name as
the candidate Of the Republican party
for the Office OF governor. This is an
lact OF bad faith md. as I am ad-
ivised. an li- act
ciaii be the nominee Of the
Republican party for the Office Of
governor and as such. am entitled to
the loyal support Of all Republicans. I
know that my name has been filed as
candidate for governor by the Regu-
lar Republican party, and I claim from
you, sir, the right to have my nare
appear on the official ballot as the
candidate OF the Republican party for
the office OF governor and also ms the
candidate OF the Regular Republican
lparty for the same office. 7 am as much
entitled to my nomination 10 the ofice
or governor, made by the convention
or August 2. as any other candidate
b nominated at that or any other conven-
ton or primary is entitled to his nomi-
nation.
This protest Is intended TO demand
lsimple justice az your hands. as an
officer Of the law.
