EIeUen Potent Reasons Why Senator DUPONT Should MOI
Withdraw From the Republican Ticket; FiUe Potent
Reasons Why TOIUnSend, Reinhardt and StUnin
Should Withdraw, Without Further Delay,
From the Party WrcckcrS' Ticket

cia place the wreckage OF the party that nomi-
mated them and the bodies of their associates
regularly-constituted ticket
The question that confronts Colonel Townsend,
Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr.. Swain is whether in this
election they prefer party wreckers' support to
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 reasons why Senator dupont
should not withdraw from the Republican ticket We
shall give five potent why Colonel Town
send Mr. Renhardt and Mr.. Swain should withdraw
from the party wreckers' ticket They are:
Ffrst-They have been nominated by the Republican
party for high and important Office and in the be-
lief that they viii do everything possible to promote
the principles and policies OF that party elect
its representatives to Office
second-The third ticket upon which they also have
been nominated has been set up not to tho
Republican party but to wreck II; not promote tho
principles policies Of that party. but to nture
destroy them and to eloct representatives OF that
party to office. but to defeat them.
Third-The party wreckers ticket represents no po-
Itical impulse that recommends It to the favorable
consideration Of any loyal Republican any lover OF
good government
Fourth-Republlcan control Of the next Congress
may depend upon the reelection OF Colonel DUPONT to
the Senate and Representative Miller to the House
The failure Of Colonel Townsend, Mr.. Reinhardt and
Mr. Swain withdraw from the party wreckers' ticket
rs not only interfering with the proper and ag-
gressive conduct Of The Republican campaign but maxi
iue posaible continuanoo Democratio. control of
both branches OF Congress.
B1fth-The Republican voters OF Delaware win
not support any man who strikes hands with lends
encoura cement 60 movement which has personal
enmty for It's chief impulse and the wreckng Of the
Republican party and the defeat OF majority OF the
candidates the Republican ticket for its chief OBJ
iects
In view OF the foregoing, and OF the approach Of
the general election. it Will be well for those who
have been schemng TO get Senator dupont OF the Re-
publican ticket and to keep Colonel Townsend, Mr..
Reinhardt and Mr. Swain the party wreckers'
ticket to abandon their impractical and impossible
projects and to settle down to the legitimate enter
prise of ecctng the Republican ticket that nom
dated in Dover on August 22-and when we say
"electing the Republican ticket" mean eecting all
or Il and not part OF IT,
No candidate on that ticket Is so spineless as to
hermit himself to be used by any other candidate
a sacrifice for a Republican party wreckers holiday
It will better for those who are planning for that
party wreckers holiday TO give heed to that fact 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 is that Senator du
Pont will remain the Republican ticket until the
polls close on November and that the same public
favor which won him the nomination will win him
the election Another is that it is not likely that
Colonel Townsend, Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr.. Swain will
so far forget themselves to remain on the party
vreckers' ticket The third is that the Republican
friends of Senator DUPONT Representative Miller
George NJ Fisher, Charles ]. Luff and Amos A. Wat
son will not stand by and them sacrificed on the
altar Of the Maodorous Order OF the Political Double
Cross for the benefit Of any Republican candidate who
is so ndiscreet as linger in the anteroom of the
Order
Tfehar Inf nd
son demand square deal from and for every candi-
date on the Republican ticket They want nothing
lefs: they want nothing more and they will know
how TO deal with those who refuse to give it.
