There is no Republican campaign. in the real
There is Republican campaign progress, in the
real sense.
There can he none long the Republican Presi-
Dental electors. Colonel John G. Townsend. the Re
publican candidate for Governor, David J. kenhardi.
the Republican candidate for Attorney General. and
William J. SWAIN the Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, remain the Party Wreckers ticket and
thereby countenance and support the conspiracy OF
Alfred l. DUPONT. j. Frank Alice. Benjamin A. Groves
and few other discredited politicians who have
broken away from their Republican anilatiOu and be-
come Democratic heIpmeets. to defeat Colonel Henry
4. DUPONT the Republican candidate for United States
senator; Thomas W. Miller the Republican candidate
for Representative in Congress-; George VI. Fisher,
the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor;
Charles J. Lufi. the Republican candidate for State
Auditor. and amos A. Watson. the Republican candl-
date for State Insurance Commissioner.
While that condition exists there may he the she'll
OF campaign and there may he the shadow OF politi-
cal progress; but il there is to he real Republican
campaign; If there is to be real Republican progress;
ii there is TO be Republican victory i'm Delaware for
the benefit of State and the country at aree Col
onel Townsend, Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr. Swain must
withdraw from that Party Wreckers' ticket and line
up shOuIderoshOulder and in good faith, with those
Republican candidates whom the party-wrecking cabaI
has marked for defeat
This Is a campaign in which the Republican eIector.
ate of this State will not permit any Republican re-
gardess OF whether he he running for national, State
or county oce, profit by disloyalty any other Re
publican candidate, no matter how high or how OBJ
scure the Onice for which he may he running.
II is squhre-deaI Republican electorate.
It demands square-doal candidates. and only such
may look to II for support
The Republican candidate she n so eager for Office
that he is willing TO become the partner Of party
wreckers and TO sacrifice the Republican party,
Republican principles, Republican policies Republic
control of national State and county govern
ments and the most vital interests of Americans in
general and OF DeIawareans in particular i'm order to
get it, has nothing to hope for in this election from
the Republican electorate OF this State.
Such candidate will win the scOrn. and not the
support of that electorate.
Not counting the Prohibition and the Socialist tick
cts, which bennals, there three tickets in the
field in Delaware.
One is the Republican ticket, regularly nominated.
which is deserving of the support Of every Republican
and lover of good and intelligent government.
Another is the Democratic ticket which, while It is
not deserving OF Republican support because of the
fallacouS political principles for which II stands is
deserving of Republican respect because II fights from
the open and not from the bush and its mission in
American and Delaware politics is well understood by
everyone except those who persist in voting Il.
The third ticket has been put in the field as Party
Wreekers device by Alfred l. DUPONT through j. Frank
lee A. and NIL
who notorious because OF their disloyaty to the
Republican party and the public interests. That ticket
is represented to he independent Republican The
is merely mask placed Il in thc hope that
the designation will deceive Republicans and lead
them by supporting Il, TO assist in the election Of
Democrats TO Oiice
For the purpose of sowing seeds OF d.scOrd and dis
trust in the real Republican party, the party wreck
have placed their ticket the names of three Re-
publican nominees for Office not counting the Presi.
Dental electors The shame of all is that those three
candidates remain that bastard ticket and thereby
give announcement and support TO the conspiracy
against the other Republican candidates and in favor
OF continuing the Democrats in control of Congress
Kent county and restoring Democrats to control
i'm our State and in New Castle and Sussex countless
That is the game OF the party wreckers. The fact
that Colonel Townsend, Mr.. Reinhardt and Mr. Swain
remain ON that ticket Is construed by thousands of
Republicans to that they are so eager to obtain
the offices for which they have been nominated that
they willing to sacrifice every principle that Re-
publcans hold dear and also all the other candidates
the Republican ticket in order to accomplish that
end.
Those three candidates to lose sight OF one
material fact II is the central one in the plans Of the
WOuId-be party-Wreckers That is, that ii Colonel
Townsend Mr. Reinhardt Mr. swain and their friends
strike hands with the party wreckng conspirators in
their scheme to defeat senator DUPONT Representative
Miller. Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. Luf and Mr.. Watson the
friends OF those f'e betrayed and menaced Republican
