THE ticket as named by the Repub-
lican Convention is a good one as a
whole. The denomination of Senator
DUPONT places a man well known to
the nation in line to succeed himself
in the United States Senate, where a
Republican will be needed for the en-
suing six years as never before, and
his age is the only possible objection
that can be made to him. The re-
nomination of Hon. Thomas W. Mil
Ter for Congress to succeed himself,
is a tribute to the excellent record he
has made in the past two years in that
body. He is young and more than
ordinarily prepared for the duties of a
congressman. The three electors,
William H. Heald, William J. Benson
and William l. Simpson, are well
known Republicans of the three coun-
ties. John G. Townsend, Jr., for gov
ernor, is one of the best in the state;
George H. Fisher for lieutenant gov
ernor, is a well known business man
OF Kent county. The State Treasurer,
William J. Swain, is another success
ful young business man Of Sussex.
Charles ]. Luff, who was renominated
for the Auditor, is especially well
equipped for the position. Amos A
Watson, who is nominated for the In
surance Commissioner and Commits
sioner of Banking. is one of the older
of Kent county, who has
been an active worker for years for
the party. This is one of the most re-
sponsible Offices in the state by rea-
son Of the banking business.

THE Republican party of Delaware

IN placing John G. Townsend, Jr.
of Selbyville, Del, as its candidate for
Governor of the State, the Republican
Party has made a wise selection, and
with a leader of his capacity the re-
suits certainly will not be uncertain
at the November elections. John G.
Townsend is one Of the highest class
citizens of Delaware Young and full
of business energy. capable in affairs
of political and business life, a Chris
tian gentleman. and a man of the peO-
pie, he should receive the support of
not only all the Republicans of Della
ware. but of the Democracy of the
State as we'll. No fairer or better
equipped man for the Governorship Of
the State of Delaware can be found
in Sussex County. and he certainly
will be elected by a handsome major
ity in his home county. as well as in

Of Delaware are considering the ad-

with this in view a consultation of all
those interested in the movement will
be held in Wilmington at an early
date. It is the belief of those inter
ested in the success of the Republican
party in November, that it will be ne
cessary to provide a channel for the
outraged Republicans of the Third
and Eighth Representative Districts
in Kent County, and in all parts of
Delaware where they have sympa-
thetic Republicans. by which they can
be enabled to express their desires
through the ballot, and at the same
time vote the electors and governor,
and not ieopardize the balance of the
