throughout. Misses Ina Little and
Laura Cromer, taking the uncnviable
parts of scheming females, executed
their parts so well that their appear

In an interesting nine-act tragedy
last Saturday the pill people from

gregation to the tune of II to 5. Not
withstanding the lop-sided score the

oughly interested till the curtain fell.
In the special mention column belong
the names OF "Tay" Irby and "one o.

ry catches. And for Clinton the simon.
pure hero was Fuller, the colIegian,
who pasted the pellet FOR home-run
drive with three bases full and the
score to 2 against his team There
was other mighty good playing but
these were the lime-lighters.

ANNOUNCEMENT

ANNUUNIEMENl
Urged by my friends to allow
the use Of my name as candidate
for the Congressional nomination
at the coming election, l. after
some consideration, have gwen
my consent. Contrary to the
views in the Republican
Glasses of the Sunday Star in its
last issue. | am not the man who
suggested my name. In fact, dur
inc the several weeks, | have had
the matter under consideration, l
have constantly maintained that a
man better qualified and with
wider acquaintance than myself,
should be secured. AND only
when no candidate appeared, dld
| give my consent.
in order that my reasons Tor
this action may be clearly under
stood. | take this opportunity OF
explanation.
# the party decides that the
Congressman shall come from
New Castle county, the third term
idea will be the issue. No member
Of the party realizes the possible
advantage Of the third term more
than |. But the precedent has
been established in this State and
the custom is as strongly adhered
to as the policy Of two terms for
President is in national affairs.
Whether the policy be a wise one
or not. the fact remains i'll the
minds Of great majority, that it
exists and to break away at this
time would be fatal.
Mr.. Heald was nominated al
most solely on this issue. He main
tanned the precedent of the two
term idea was the best, both to the
interest of the party and the
State.
In view of this repeatedly eX-
pressed attitude in securing his
nomination. his personal cam
paign now for reelection. comes
with lack Of force and conviction,
to say nothing Of an attitude OF
grace The issue is Of his own
making.
II there was a Statewide sen
tinlent in the party for his return.
it would be only his duty to abide
by the decision Of the majority,
and | would give him my support.
But that sentiment does not eX-
ist. In the two lower counties
there is strong opposition by those
remembering the third-term slo-
gan Of four years ago. This op-
position is found not only i'll the
ranks and file of the party, but
among those of strong influence
and active in the party's success.
Again in New Castle county
there is in the City of Whining
ton. an opposition of no mean pro-
portions by men whose opinions
must be respected and whose
views it will be well worth while
for the party to heed. IN rural
New Castle. Mr.. lleald has utterly
failed to sense the political situa-
tion if he thinks he has the sup
port OF the party at large.
The action of myself nor Of my
friends is in no spirit Of antago-
niHing the so-calIed organization,
and | have so made it plain TO
them. It IS not for the defeat Of
the organization but for its sue
cess and for what they believe the
good Of the party.
An organization is necessary to
any party worthy Of the name and
success. but the leaders must con
slider the sentiments Of the rank
and tilc, and not permit the am
bitions of IA few to blind them to
the actual convictions.
The real leaders of the Rppubli-
can party of this State have serv-
ed us well when fully informed of

LIKE ACTION OF

Five Wards Not Too Many For
Hancock Is Opinion

General expression of sentiment IN
Hancock seems to favcr the proposed
cnange which will result In Hancock,
having five wards instead of four ~
at present. At the council mcetln.
Thursday the matter was gone over
in detail and II was generally agree,!
that the fourth ward comprising tho
western end OF the city was far too
large now and by the time of the next
general election would be much larger
as the tendency IL for the city To ex-
pand westward.
The committee appointed by the
council has not yet met nor indicated
what their course of action viii he but
il is fairly certain that FIVE wards win
be formed as the first three wards are
about rleht In size while the fourth is
too large.
The election boards i'm Hancock were
among the last in the county TO re-
port sharing this doubtful honor with
the third precinct in Portage Town.
