led by Senator Henry A. DUPONT maintained their
party regularity from start 10 finish Al M time ,sa
here any wavering The delegates realized that the
lie OF the Republican party stake in the srug-
gle and that it their duty support the party and
the Republican administration that was being sph
eced 20 such bitter attack from within and without
With unwaverng hrmness they stood up against all
the attacks Of the foes Of party and President Taft
and voted consistently to assist in stemmne the tide
of radcasm within the convention which threat
ened to sweep the party off its foundations and leave It
wreck with one Of the important elections IN
the history Of our country impending
Our delegates are deserving Of the thanks Of every
loyal Republican in Delaware While there may be
those who. in the heat Of blood condemn the dele
gates for refusing to be swayed by the controversial
cyclone raging about them when sober second thought
comes all such viii realize that our delegates
oid the only sensible thing be done That was to
stand closely to Republican principles and policies
end TO an administration which represents them and 10
90 everything in their power to the party from
being wrecked by ambitious politicians
When. in calmer moments the historv ~ che chi,
oaso Convention IS written mpartslly those who
stood by the Republican party and President TAFT in
the momentous struggle viii be ohronicled as politi-
cal heroes and the six Delaware delegates will be close
TO the ton OF the list is significant that from start

'eCo4ced ~ opposition to the Republican partv or
President TAFT Senator DUPONT and his associates
realized the great things at stake They knew that

eHpediency and they acted accordingly Time viii show
mat they acted wisely in refusing to be swerved from
their duty to the country and the party by the i'm
passoned appeals and threats Of the progressive ele
ment led by Colonel Roosevelt
When the campaign between the Repuhliosn and
tne Democratic parties begins in earnest it win he dis
covered that the Republican PARTY stands for those
good things in government that have served 10 make
the greatest party the history Of our nation ana
that the Democratic party stands FOR the things that
ea 70 the defeat OF Bryan and other Democratic cam
ddatss in other campaigns and that necessarlv rus
result in the defeat OF the Democratic ticket IN THIS
election w
It is unfortunate that Colonel Roosevelt and his aa
Vsors seem determined do what they can 10 defeat
me Republican party this year We incline 10 the he
hef however that thoughtful and intelligent Aper,
can electorate will refuse to assist them in that enter
prise and that when the work Of the Baltimore Con-
venton has been completed and its menace 20 the conn
try has been revealed that the Roosevelt toliow,ps
vi" dwndle TO few irreconciables and that the great
mass OF the Republican voters will rally heartily n
the support OF Taft and sherman
