In Delaware, we have the same kind
Of Republican machine-boss-c -controll-
ed and reactionary.
Thus, from ocean to ocean, from
the lakes to the gulf, the crafty, stand
pat and reactionary leaders" whose
steering drove the Republican party
upon the rocks. are in command of
that stranded vessel. And it is to this
shipwreck, thus officered, that the
Progressive voters are asked to cling
and even to return.
Those who have some right to call
themselves progressive" Republicans
are in the pitiful minority. And If
they are Republicans, those in the
majority leadership cannot be. If
Penrose, Barnes, Aldrich, Smoot and
Gallinger are Republicans, Cummins
and LaFolette cannot be
And this is the wreck TO which the
Progressives of Delaware are invited
to return!
The Democratic and Republican
parties might as we'll make up their
minds that the Progressive party has
come to stay"
am very sorry to say that I do
not think anything whatever can be
oone through the Republican party as
now organized.
The Republican party is more re-
acuonary, more completely under the
control of the bosses, than II was two
years ago. There is literally nothing
whatever to be done with il while
1t continues as II is now; 1t AZ pres
ent is as far as the poles from the
vital principles of Abraham Lincoln
Republicanism.
Under these circumstances am

case, victory for Republicans in any

Republican Speaker Answered

Last week ono of the Republican

in this city, issued this appeal to the
Progressive voters in Delaware-"Two
years ago the Democratic party won
because our party was divided. Friends,
all parties have made mistakes, but the
mistakes made by the Republican party
did not Justify the division of 1912"
And then he added: 'Wc want the Bull
Moosers' with us in this fight. Let them
come home and we will welcome them
Assuredly the Bull Moosers would be
welcomed, if they did return to Repuh-
lican party, for their votes are greatly
needed. But if the Progressives were TO

Thieves USED WAGON
TO HAUL away LOOT

Thieves who robbed the Ellis w.
Bacon residence, at Chester Heights a
few days ago. it developed yesterday,
had a penchant for antique articles OF
furniture.
One of the objects removed was ma
hogany clock, highly priced by Mr..
Bacon. There were also stolen a %
caliber rifle and MaclSinaw boat. The
boat had been taken out Of the water
for the winter.
That the thieves used a wagon, as
has been indicated in several robberies
TO occur in the past two weeks in
country districts, was apparent at the
Bacon place. There is possibility that
river pirates spotted the craft and car
ried it to the Delaware river.
