LOOK AT THE FUTURE.

HE Sussex Republican takes an optimistic
view of the political situation in Delaware
and throughout the country. 1t thinks that in
this state by-gones should be by-gones. Let the
past remain buried and let look at the fu-
ture.
The Republican declares that the party faces a
new era in its history. This according to
way of thinking is true Says the Republican,
The eternal way between right and
wrong is making itself felt in the politics
of this Nation, and more particularly in
the Republican party because it is the
dominant party. The people are demand
ing their rights, and that the wrongs
which have been inflicted upon them e-
gally by special privileges extended to
different money interests, must cease
These special interests have had too much
influence in the Republican party in
the immediate years past, and at last
the people are demanding a Square
deal" This has caused the movement
and association of Republicans called
Insurgents
Its influence is apparent in the differ
ent State Conventions of the Republican
party in the different States, and the party
in this State must be prepared TO meet and
satisfy the demands of the people
1t would be well for the leaders of the party
in Delaware TO ponder these words Certain it is
that if the Republican party in Delaware is to
maintain its supremacy, ii must be up with the
times the leader in state progress. And if not
the leader il will be false to its history in this
state. Let it be remembered that the chief ad-
vances made in Delaware, the new constitution
and the reforms in our election laws the abandon
ment of the old method of tax receipts and crooked
elections, came about a result of Republican
agitation. And one consequence has been a les
sening of partisan spirit to be sure, for the peo-
pie in these days are demanding good government
and a fair deal for all
To be sure Democratic newspapers and critics
aaA I,.f-
to say accuse the Republicans of profting by
crooked work, but how few instances are they
able to recall. How few are they in comparison
with the Complaints that heard in the years
gone by. We think the tone of the Republican
newspapers of Delaware is better than il ever
was it is for the party and the party leaders
to keer pace with the ideas advanced BY the Re
publican uewspa in Delaware If these lead
crs want 10 maintain their leadership.
Theer is not newspaper that is not advocat-
ing a really progressive course for the party
that is legislation on the square deal plan leg
isaton that will make Delaware approach closer
to the standard of right government so far as is
possible under our present political system. And
as the Republican says:
We at the dawn of new political
day in the Republican party in this state,
and we want the Republicans of this state
to realize that and greater oppor-
tunities confront them TO make their
party more useful and advancing the
best interest of the state; and, as thew
arise each morning with renewed strength
and enthusiasm TO meet the duties of the
day. so now at the beginning Of this
campaign they can enter IL with renewed
enthusiasm and determination TO do
their duty, each and every one, TO nom-
mate ticket that will deserve and re-
ceive the support of every. Republican,
a ticket to which, when elected can be
entrusted the best interest of the state,
and of the Republican party.
