Third PARTY BUBBLE
BURSTS At milford
Hotbed of Independent
Movement Turns Back
Into Republican Fold
SENTIMENT TURNS
AFTER CARD ATTACK

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Nov. 2.-During the
past two weeks, political sentiment
has changed greatly hereabouts, sew
eral important reasons being ascribed
by those who are in a position to know
the drift of public opinion. Following
the Republican State Convention, in
August, number of Republican work
ers became active in favor OF third
ticket and it was largely through their
efforts that such move was launched.
The movement gained strength
rapidly, until in the First Representa-
tive District Of Sussex county, in
which district part of Milford is To-
Gated, it was estimated that a major
ity OF the Republican voters would
vote the independent ticket, as put in
the field. This condition OF affairs
continued to exist until the last reg
istration day. when things took diff
erent aspect. When the people OF
Milford arose the morning of that day
they were confronted by small cards,
attacking Senator Henry A. DUPONT
and on posts, fences, windows and even
doors stickers making the attack We're
pasted. A few days later cards were
received in large numbers by persons
attacking Congressman Miller.
Since these two things occurred
the independent voters have been do
ing much thinking. Many who al
first were opposed to the two mer
mentioned have publicly stated thai
they did not approve Of the methods
taken to defeat them, as a result o
which they would vote the entire Re
publican ticket In the First distric
alone, it is now estimated by SOM
who were claiming the large inde
pendent vote, not over forty vii
support the Progressive ticket. Mil
ford has been the hot bed of the in
dependent movement in Sussex. an
the swing to the Republican ticke
is growing each day.

SINKING OF THE MARINA MAY
REOPEN ARMED MERCHANTMEN
CASE; AMERICANS ARE LOST
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.-Reopening
OF the entire armed merchantmen con-
troversy between this government and
Germany is certain II It is proved the
British steamer Martina was armed at
the time she was sunk by a German
submarine, Secretary OF state Lansing
indicated today.
Whether merchantmen have a right
to arm for defense is still an open
question between this government and
Germany, Lansing admitted. This
question will be the principal one if
negotiations develop with Germany
over the death Of six Americans on
board the vessel. It was stated.
While this government has MAIN
tanned the right Of merchantmen TO
arm for defense Germany has never
admitted It, The question first arose
when the Lusitania was sunk. This
government has insisted that mer-
chantmen may arm with any guns
not over six inches in calibre. When
discussion Of this point arose during
the Lusitania negotiations. this gov
ernment showed the Busitania was
unarmed. Without a recession by
this government from its. position or
an admission by Germany that mer-
chantmen might arm. the question
was permitted TO lapse. Secretary
Lansing said the right of merchant
men to arm is still a mooted ques-
ton. that there has been no decision
on it.
Germany is expected to maintain
that armed merchantmen were not
included in her pledges to the United

light Of the robbery, was made by

today. Mr.. Plummer said that he was
