ton action of the Republican State Committee and
the four Republican district committees
EVERY step he has taken has been marked by party
loyalty and regularity. The suggestion that he with
draw is as insulting it is unwarranted.
There is not one valid why Senator dupont
should withdraw from the Republican ticket
There are eleven good why he should re-
main candidate They are:
Frst-He is Republican.
Second-He has made honorable record in Con-
gress.
Third-He is the choice Of the Republican cleo
torate
Fourtl--He is the choice of the Republican caucus
Fnh-He is the choice Of the Republican State
Convention.
sixth-Hs candidacy has the ratification Of the Re-
publican State Committee and of the four district COM
mittees.
Seventh-His attitude towards all the other candi-
dates the Republican ticket is one Of absolute
loyalty
Eghth-He has valid right to expect and to de-
mand from them the same of absolute 10y
atty toward himself and his friends will insist that
he receive it.
Ninth--The interests of State and the country
at large demand that Delaware shall return a Repub-
can to the United States Senate to the end that that
legislative body shall be in harmony with Republi-
can President and Republican House. and Senator
dupont is the only Republican Senatorial candidate
in this State.
Tenh-He is entitled. by his record and by his re-
nomination. to the support Of every voter who de-
serves the Republican and also to the sup
port of every lover of political farplay and good gov
eminent
Eleventll-He requested by influential Republi-
cans and other friends to announce his candidacy for
denomination. 1t at their solicitation that he
did So They stood by him in the Republican primary
and in the Republican State Convention. They are
standing by him today. They will stand by him
through the campaign 1t would be manifestly unfair
IN thOcaI ova1 bo
of withdrawing from the ticket.
So much for the political status Of Senator dupont
Now let us turn attention 10 an infinitely SER
ious phase of The Republican situation in this State
We refer to the fact that Colonel John G. Townsend
Jr., the Republican candidate for Governor; David
j. Reinhardt The Republican candidate for Attorney
General and William J. SWAIN the Republican can
ddate for State Treasurer, have placed on the
third ticket put in the field by the coterie CT self
styled Republicans who are bent upon wceckng the
Republican party and eectng Democrats to office this
Fall.
The seriousness Of the situation is found not in the
fact that they have been put that partywreckers
ticket but in the fact that they permitted their
names to remain there Notwithstanding their knowl-
edge that that ticket has been set up for the express
purpose OF wreckng the Republican party and de-
feating Colonel Henry A. dupont the Republican can
didate for United States SENATOR Thomas W. Miller
the Republican candidate for Representative in Con-
gress; George NJ Fisher, the Republican candidate
for Observation-Disclosures; Charles j. Luff the Re-
publican candidate for State Auditor Of Accounts
and Amos A. Watson, the Republican candidate for
State Insurance Commissioner
Surely Colonel Townsend, Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr.
Swain are not so lost to intelligent understanding
of the situation to imagine for an instant that the
friends OF Senator DUPONT Representative Miller Mr.
Fisher Mr.. Lur and Mr.. Watson will condope or toll
crate the act Of party and associate disloyaty that
would be symhOlized by them continuing as candi.
dates on that party wreckers' ticket
Political magnanmity is not an unknown quantity in
Delaware, but never yet has reached the stage of
shouting approval of who seek to climb into off,
