J. more stump speakers like Wendell c Warner of
New York this State to stump Delaware in behalf of
Wilson and Monaghan It will be unnecessary for the
Republicans to make active campaign in behalf of
their ticket Warner addressed Democratic meeting
at Front and Madison streets on Monday night With

that Mr. Warner did not bring with him into State

break as he made at the Democratic meeting. II
