transactions lof the State Convention Of the
Delaware Progressive Republicans in Dover yester-
day II did what the public expected It to elected
delegates to the Roosevelt National Convention
be held IN Chicago next Monday. and adopted
declaration of principles It is true some Of the
speakers indulged in Incorporate utterances; that

OF eelf-apponted delegates.
Most of those who attended the convention we're
Republicans. former Republicans There was, how
ever a sprinkng Of Democrats II ia fair To say that
the declaration of principles adopted critczes both
the Republican and the Democratic parties
That the Chicago Convention was criticized for hav-
ing nominated Taft and Sherman is not surprising
That Is the meat Of the Progressive fight al this time
The charge that the Republican ticket named
through the use fraudulent delegates also is old
matter which has been disposed of pretty thoroughly
by the statement recently issued by Chairman Hines
of the Republican National Committee
On points Of national issue the Delaware Progress
sives follow generally the lines laid down by Col
one Roosevelt and his campaign managers. There is
hing however. to which think public atten-
tion should he called That is the criticism of the
six Delaware delegates TO the Chicago Convention for
having voted the nomination Of Taft and sherman.
Those who framed the declaration seemingly forgot
that when the Republican State Convention met there
practically was no Roosevelt sentiment in New Castle
and Kent counties and that in Sussex county IT, had
manifested itself only in two three or the hundreds
with free and primaries the Roosevelt pioneers
succeeded in electing only handful Of delegates Re
publican sentiment in our State was Overwhelmingly
for Taft; the delegates the state Convention
Taft men, and the platform adopted strongly endorsed
President Taft and his administration II is true the
delegates not instructed for Taft It had not
been customary to send instructed delegates from
this State Despite that. the six who went to
Chicago would have been false 10 their constituents
had they failed TO support President Taft his ad-
ministration against those who assailins them
Nor will~the criticism OF Senator DUPONT and Seua

have voted to unseat Senator Lorimer, They decided,
however. that ~ their duty 10 Judge the Lormer

noteworthy that that respect the showing for May,
