SHOULD HAVE A U. S. SENATOR

F'The lower counties have an un-
usual and increased interest in the
election this year.
For the first time Delaware will
elect a United States Senator by a
direct vote.
Nominees for United States
Senator will be selected by the
different parties. His name will
appear on the ballot and the voters
will thus elect their United States
Senator. Heretofore United States
Senators have been elected by the
Legislature. This election, United
States Senator to succeed Henry
A. Dupont will be selected. At the
present both of our United States
Senators reside in New Castle
County. DUPONT is a Republican
and Salisbury q Democrat. Of
course, New Castle County, because
of the vote Of the City Of Whining
ton, has half as many more votes
as Kent and Sussex put together.
This condition applies Of course to
all parties. So that, it is always
possible for New Castle County to
elect both United States Senators
and thus prevent Kent or Sussex
County from ever having a United
States Senator. As Salisbury is a
Democrat and resides in New Castle
County, that party this year will
probably nominate a candidate from
Kent or Sussex. Dupont wants to
be re-nominatdd. He is very old.
He will be about eighty when his
new term begins, if he should be re-
elected, and it wouldn' seem possible
that any party would want to send
any man to the United States SEN
ate that old. But Dupont owns the
Republican party, and if he wants
to go back, the party will no doubt
try to send him If he is nominated
by the Republicans and Kent or
Sussex man nominated by the
Democrats, the lower counties will
have to elect the Democrat to getn
United States Senator. If they let
this chance GO by, there is not much
likelihood that the lower counties
will ever get United States Sena-
tor, because if New Castle County

wants to have both, she can always
elect them because she has the
votes, and every time one nominee
will be from that county. If the
Republicans should nominate: a
candidate from the two lower coun-
ties and the Democrats do the same,
then whoever is elected would be
from the lower counties. Next time
when Saulbury's term expires, both
parties would select nominees for
United States Senator from New
Castle County, and whoever was
elected, New Castle County would
have a United States Senator. If
the Republican party was wise. if
Senator Dupont was wise and had
the best interest of the State at
heart, he would have his party
nominate its candidate for United
States Senator from down the State
and thus for once and always es-
tabIish the proper geographical
equilibrimiun the selection of United
States Senators from this State.
'"The fact that Senator DUPONT
wants to be reelected proves his
unfitness for the position to which
he aspires. No man of his age, can
properly perform the arduous duties
of United States Senator and there
by properly represent his State. No
man of honor or appreciation OF the
rights of his constituents, would
wish to be selected to represent
them in any capacity, when he knew
he could not perform the duties re-
uuired of him. Senator Dupont is
a man of large means, many times
a millionaire, so the salary OF the
office cannot appeal to him, He has
already served almost two terms as
United States Senator, so that hav-
ing enjoyed the high honor of being
United States Senator from Della
ware, the honor of the position cam
not appeal to him. He has no great
or arduous duties or great policy
undertaken by him in the Senate
that needs his presence to continue
or complete. He has no debts OF
gratitude to pay no enemies to
avenge, that requires his return to
the Senate. Hence, for the life of
US, we cannot see or understand
why Senator Dupont, conscious of
the weakness Of age and the inca
pacity incident thereto should ask
or expect the people of this State to
return him again to the Senate. The
appropriate, the sensible, the honor
able thing to be expected would be
a graceful retirement in apprecia-
ton of the honors already bestowed
him, and the right of the people of
this State to be represented in the
highest legislative body Of the land
by man in the prime of bodily and
mental vigor. "-Susser Republican.

RE-NOMINATE DUPONT

WE print elsewhere on 'Cls e page pal ~
publican discussing the propriety of re-
nominating Senator Henry A. Dupont
for a third term.
The writer objects to his renomina'
tion upon the following grounds.
l. He is too old would be about 0t
should he live to finish third term.
2. Unfit. No man of his age
can properly perform the arduous
duties Of the U. S. Senator, and
thereby properly represent his
State"
3. His seeking a third term is
therefore, in itself a proof OF his
unftness, for mo man of honor or
appreciation of the rights of his
constituents, would wish to be Sc
Iected to represent them in any ca
pacitv, when he knew he could not
perform the duties required Of
him.
A. Has already in his two terms of
12 years had honor enough, and eth
position cannot appeal to him."
5. His return is not necessary for
"He has no great or arduous duties
or great policy undertaken by him
in the Senate that needs his pres
ence to continue or complete. He
has no debts of gratitude to pay, no
enemies to avenge, that requires
his return to the Senate. ("
6. Too rich to need the salary.
Senator Dupont is man OF large
means, many times millionaire. SO
the salary of the office cannot ap-
peal to him."
Lower counties should sometimes
have a u. S. senator: ''lf the Re-
publican party was wise, if Senator
Dupont was wise and had the best
interest of the State at heart, he
would have his party nominate It's
candidate for United States Senate
from down the State and thus for
once and always establish the pro-
per geographical equilibrium in the
selection of U. S. senators from
this State. "
The Republican concludes as follows
'4Hence, for the life of US, we
cannot see or understand why Sena-
tor Dupont, conscious of the weak
meas Of age and the incapacity incl
dent thereto should ask or expect
the people Of this StatetO return
him again to the Senate. The
appropriate, the sensible, the
honorable thing to be expected
would be a graceful retirement in
appreciation of the honors already
bestowed upon him and the right
of the people to be represented in
the highest legislative body of the
land by man in the prime of bodily
and mental vigor,
Will the whole party subscribe to tn
sentiment which follows?
''But DUPONT owns the Republican
party, and if he wanus to go back,
the party will no doubt try to send
him..
We would like to hear from Republican
voters on the whole question, AM
would also welcome the views of ou
esteemed contemporaries.
