Republicans had IFS majority in 1904 23O in 1906;
i77 in 1908, and 1872 in 1910.
The Ninth, or White Clay Creek hundred district,
is another close one in which It behooves Repub-
licans to be exceedingly careful In 1904 the Re
publicans carried # by the scant majority of IS.
That dropped to 1S in 1906 and to . in 1908 The
Democrats captured it by majority of 27 in 1910

redeem that district
The Tenth Representative district takes in New Cas-
tie hundred. It, too, is fierce lighting ground, The
Republicans carried it 1904 by 70 majority In 1906
it. went Democratic by l6. Two years later the Dem

whether he be a Taft or a Roosevelt man. can read
the facts and figures set forth above without real
zing how important It is that all Republicans shall
stand together this year hold all the legislative
districts they carried in the last election and to
capture the close districts which were carried by the
Democrats in that election
wizard Salisbury is seeking to carry all doubt
fu districts he be elected to the United states
Senate He counts upon doing it by the use Of the
votes of dissatisfied Republicans We have said II
before aud we repeat IT now, that We do not be-
believe any respectable Republican desires that saus-
hurry shall climb into the United States Senate as
result of a quarrel in the Republican party on the
Presidential question.
