The referendum is important for Delaware
because Of the political situation in this state
Six men, members OF state senate OF our Leg

the welfare OF the people

in between hold-up gang in the state senate
and the people. The latter would have a voice

bitterly by small group in this city because
it was realized that the referendum, if applied
would destroy that control Of Delaware which,
in the last Legislature, resided in little hold-up
coterie in the state senate.
