suPPORT TIE TICKET.

SifPOht
- ELAWARE Republicans should give earnest enthusi-
~ ostic and whoe-heared support TO the ticket that
nominated at Dover yesterday.
The fact that II is headed by such a man as Dr. L.
Heiser Ball. former United senator for years
the recognized Republican leader in rural New Castle
county fail bring thousands Of Republicans
throughout the State the feeling that the work of tho
convention should receive party approval at the polls
In November
The ticket as nominated Is as follows:
For United States senator-Dr. L. Heislcr Ball, of
rzysew Castle county.
For Representative in Congress-Dr Caleb n. LAYTON
Of Sussex county
For State Treasurer-GcOrgo NJ. Fisher, of Kent
county.
For Auditor of Accounts Daniel Thompson, of New
Castle county.
There is valid why any Delaware Republic
who does place personal feeling above party
and public interest should vote that ticket from top
10 bottom without doing violence his convictions.
The selection Dr. the senatorial nomination
md the which Il was done were particularly
before the voters of the state today
party candidate by the grace Of the overwhelming
vote of the delegates of his home county and the
Vt large, and not one-man, hand-pcked candidate,
put the ticket in defiance party public senti
mcnt. II is pleasure us endorse his candidacy
and 10 him his associates on the ticket of
our unfaering support.
There other candidates for the nomination for
United States Senator TO whom would have been
pleasure for to have given the
of support that giving TO Dr. Ball He,
however, has the nomination, and that, too under
circumstances which cIOthe with respect should
make his candidacy acceptable loyal Republicans
Personally professionally politically, Dr. Ball
needs apOogist He is well and favorably known the
length and breadth of State and will make strong
candidate
We have not always agreed with the political policies
Of DR. Layton the candidate for Representative in Con
gress but since the Convention which nominated
DR. Ball for Senator has placed Dr. Layton on the ticket
his running and followed that up by nominat-
Ing Mr. Fisher for State SIR Thompson for
auditsr of Accounts Republican voters in our State
should experience pleasure in getting shoulder to
shoulder for the purpose putting ticket over the
top in November.
Each county should respond eagerly TO TO the raIyina
of DIR. Ball. who has become the party standard
hoaN1 bs Oi loJ OF tne lbu uelcgateS whose
leadership in the present campaign was made all the
more emphatic by the entire 100 delegates falling in line
Tor him before the convention closed
Delaware Democrats quite naturally do not like the
outcome of the Republican convention The nomination
of DR. Ball is especially dsheartening to them II will be
well for such Democrats however, to devote their aen
ton TO their disturbed household the affairs Of
which have been at skies and for many months
As Republican candidate for United States Senator
DR.. Ball will receive much stronger measure OF Re
publican support than viii be accorded by Delaware
Democrats 70 any Democrat who may be nominated for
that Office.
1t is knowledge OF that fact that SO many Dem
ocras to be disturbed seriously since the Republican
aafs convention made Dr. Ball the Republican standard
bearer In Delaware.
