formerly denounced arch-cOrruptionlsts and rene
gados. Until Hynson became eager to be the secretary
OF Congressman L. Hesler Ball, he was in complete
accord with the Republican party As soon AS Con-
gresham Ball refused TO support him, he began to
sulk and and since then has been awaiting an op-
porunlty to revenge himself upon party which failed
TO recognize his secretara qualifications. That oppor'
tunity presented itself when Alice and his fellow.
conspirstors entered into the deal TO attempt to de-
liver our State TO the Democrats In the November
election.
George W. Tebo, OF Kent county, the sucker can.
didate for Lieutenant Governor another man on the
ticket whose candidacy represents an obsessng desire
TO hold ONCE. Two years ago the Republicans honored
him by eIecting him 10 the Legislature. That Wheted
his appetite. In the recent Republican state Con-

OF Sussex county. Having failed In the Republican
party ne went over 10 the PTOgressfss and has re-
ceiyed his reward for his desertiOn.
State Senator Louis A. Drexler the "sucker" cand-
date for Congressman, has long and unenFRbe record
as A sore head -Four years ago the Republicans made
the mistake of hunting him out Bethany Beach, Sus-
sex county, and electipg him State Senator lmmeui-
atey he became imbued with the idea that ne was the
only man elected who qualified to hold the once
OF President pro tenn, OF the SENATE. In the legisNe
seesion chat followed he tried 10 hold up the OrganSa-
elected President Two years ago Drexer resor'ed 70
be same tactics to obtain the Office he coreted That
fine he held ND the organization for weeks and pre-
vented during that time the transaction OF business ana
the election Of q United States senator Finally the
Republican members IN the public interest Joined WIN
the Democratic members and elected Democrat
President pro tenn OF the Senate. That iniurlated
nrexler and when the Progressive movement material
,ed he was one of the first In Delaware to see It's
possuities as an instrument TO deliver Delaware o
the Democratic machine. As seif-seekng place
