Years ago Democrats in Delaware sought to
work hand and glove with members of the old
Regular Republican faction There was then no
inquiry about Fitness" no squeamishness as to
methods, no question at all if results promised TO
aid the Democrats and TO bring Offices TO few
of them. Now it is different. Being long out
in the cold has made some of the Democrats des-
perate But let the Republicans name good men
for Office and the Democrats will remain as far
from the political plums they have been for
many years.
