interest in the political situation in his
hundred. and the county generally. and
is classed az one of the best posted men
on this subject in this end Of the
State His description of the political
situation in his hundred, he said. was
equally applicable to other districts as
we'll.
"Unquestionably sentiment In Indian
River hundred Is strongly favorable 10
the election Of Senator Henry A. du
Pont," he said. "Therc is no opposition
either TO his election or that of the
whole ticket Indian River Republi-
cans are for Colonel DUPONT and all
the other candidates ON the ticket, and
will be In the same position until the
polls are close The leaders in this
hundred have got together in harmony
In support of the ticket, and are work
ing for its success as unit. There
is no fighting each other, we have
enough TO do 10 fight the Democrats.
and YOU may rest assured that we will
present q united trout to them ON cleo
tion day. Long ago we compromised
what differences of opinion existed, and,
with give and take IA good spirit and
with reasonable positions taken by both
sides at that time. We had no trouble
i'm settling our differences and then for
getting them in the general hustle for
the success of each candidate from the
eagle TO the bottom of the page.
"And despite what those may say
whose desires are the fathers Of diff
feront thoughts and statements from
this regarding the political situation
here. Il is a fact not to be truthfully
denied that Sussex county rs practl-
cally unanimous in its support OF
Colonel DUPONT. insofar as Republi-
cans are concerned. And you will
find this situation almost identcally
repeated in every election district In
the county. Just mark 1t down in
your little book that Republicans
down here are not throwing away
their votes by cutting their ticket
Sussex county Republicans are GO
ing TO vote straight and solid for
their party and it's candidates, and
there never was a thing more sure
and certain except that this applies
to each candidate individually as
well as collectively"

respondent met two prominent citi-
zens OF the Milton district of bewes
and Rehoboth hundred. Neither party
knew that your correspondent had
talked with anyone at all with regard
to the campaign or its phases, yet
il will be noted that their statements
tally as closely in their general trend
almost as though the three had given
your correspondent Joint interview
and. by the same token, each state
ment serves strongly 10 support the
other. Regarding conditions in and
around Milton. they said
Milton Solid For Ticket
I'm the Milton district there is no
/ opposition or antagOnism whatever
against the election OF Colonel Henry
A dupont or any other candidate on
the Republican ticket excepting thai
naturally 10 be expected from the
Democrats. And there will be none

time. AS It is. Republicans-and w
mean by that the entire personnel o

arraved behind their ticket from Sen
ator to Levy Court Commissioner an

in its support.
e "Republicans in this district AT

that powerful argument would hav
