FOR SENATOR.


From the Dover Delawarean (Dem.)
In our judgment Willard Salisbury
should be elected Senator for the fol-
lowing among other reasons:
1. He is the best qualified and
equipped of all the candidates.
2. In character and ability he COM
mands the respect Of Democrats and
of good citizens generally.
3. He is in hearty accord with the
Democratic President-elect, and such
men as Senators and Representatives
are essential to the success of the in
coming Administration and to the
continuation of the Democratoc par
ty in power.
4. There is good reason to believe
that he can accomplish more for the
State aad party than any other man
who could be named
5. His past party service deserves
such recognition when 1t can be Civ
en- consistently with the considera-
tons above set forth
Where are the men who induced
Farlow King, and Clark to vote
against their party in the matter Of
the Senatorship? Do they step for
ward and offer to share the respOn-
sibility? Not much. Here is, indeed, n
moral for any member of the
| Legislature now tempted to vote
against his party They are encour-
aged now by factionalists to be un-
! true to duty, but If any should DO
weak enough to make the fatal mis-
take who will help carry the odium
Farlow. King and Clark are names
not honored among Delaware Demo-
Gratis. Are there any Democrats in
the Legislature now who will betray
their party and try to hand over to
the Republican Machine the election
of a Democratic Senator?
There is no precendent7 says the
