cial place over the wreckage of the party that nomi
mated them and the bodies of their associates
a neutrality-suspicious. ticket.
The question that confronts Colonel Townsend,
Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr.. Swain is whether, in this
election they prefer party wreckers' support to Re-
publican support, Republican support to party
wreckers support. They must realize that they can
not have both the milk and the meat"
We have given eleven why Senator DUPONT
should not withdraw from the Republican 1cket. We
shall now give five potent reasons why Colonel iowa
send. Mr. Reiphardt and Mr.. Swain should withdraw
from the party wreckers ticket They arc:
First-They have beeh nominated by the Republican
party for high and important Office and in the be-
lief that they will do everything possible promote
the principles and policies of that party and cert
its representatives to office.
Second-The third ticket upon which they also have
been nominated has been set up not to the
Republican party, but wreck it; promote he
principles and policies of that party, but nurc
destroy theln and not to elect representatives o. that
party to Office but to defeat them.
Third-The party wreckers' ticket represents nc po-
ltical impulse that recommends it 10 the favorable
consideration of any loyal Republican any love, of
good government.
Fourth-Republican control of the next Congress
may depend upon the reelection Colonel dupont 10
the Senate and Representative Miller to the Hour.
The failure of Colonel Townsend. Mr. Reinhardt and
Mr. Swain to withdraw from the party wreckcrs' ticket
is not only interfering with the proper and az
gressive conduct of the Republican campa en- but max
ing possible continuance Of Democratic control OF
both branches of Congress.
Fifth--The Republican voters of aware will
not support any who strikes hands with or l.
encouragement to movement which has pcr@onal
enmity for its chief impulse and the wreckne The
Republican party and the defeat of a mai ri>y
candidates the Republican ticket for it's chiei
jects.
In view Of the foregoing and Of tho aoproa.lp o.
the general election, il will be we'll those men who
have been schemng to get Senator DUPONT off tllc
publican ticket and to keep Colonel Townsend. Mr.
Renhardt and Mr.. Swain on the party wr,ckers
ticket to abandon their impractical and Impossible
projects and to settle down the legitimate enter
prise of ecctng the Republican ticket that was noni
dated in Dover on August 22-and when We say
"electng the Republican ticket" mean clecting all
Of it and not part of it.
No candidate on that ticket is spncess as to
permit himself TO be used by any other candidate
sacrifice for Republican party wreckers' holiday
1t will be better for those who planning for that
party wreckers' holiday to give heed to that now
when they have time to change their policy than to
ignore it until it is too late for them to do So But
whatever they may decide to do, let them not lose
sight OF three material facts. One is that du
Pont will remain on the Republican ticket until the
polls close on November and that the same public
favor which him the nomination will win him
the election. Another is that it is likely that
Colonel Townsend, Mr. Reinhardt and Mr.. Swain will
so far forget themselves to remain on the party
wreckers' ticket The third is that the Republican
friends OF Senator dupont, Representative Miller
George M Fisher, Charles J. Luf and Amos A. Wat
son will not stand by and them sacrificed on the
altar OF the Malodorous Order of the Political Double
Cross for the benefit of any Republican candidate
is so indiscreet as to linger in the of the
Order
The friends Of dupont. Miller, Fisher, Luif and Wat
son demand square deal from and for every candi-
date on the Republican ticket. They want nothing
less; they want nothing more, and they will know
how to deal with those men who refuse to give it.
