| MALICIOUS ATTACK AGAINST
JAMES M. TUNNELL, DEMOCRAT
&c CANDIDATE FOR UNITED
STATES SENATOR, BY AN UN-
KNOWN CARPING CRITIC.
Editor The Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.

Editor The Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Sir:
There is a rather remarkable article
appearing in last weeks issue OF The
Chronicle, signed Another Sussex
Democrat"
This article starts with a rather
gratuitous insult to James NJ. Tun-
nell, for a number Of years Chairman
of the Democratic County Committee,
by accusing Mr. Tunnel Of writing
an article laudatory of Mr.. Tunnells
candidacy for the United States Sen
ate.
The rather fiagrant grammatical err
rOrs in this latest communication
would seem to indicate that some
Salisbury zealot is trying to get some
free notoriety.
The writer of that article attempts,
in a despicable way. to impeach the
loyalty of Mr. Tunnel. and thereby
shows his malevOlent intention to de-
ceive by reciting an alleged conver-
sation between Mr.. Tunnel and Col.
L. W. Mustard, of Lewes, in which
he claims that the present war was
A search of the records
in the office of the Register of Wills
for this County reveals the fact that
John Walter died nearly two years
before America and Germany were at
war. So if the whole incident is not
the invention of the writer it is at
least an attempt to deceive readers I
Of the Chronicle on an alleged CONVEX (
sation about the war between Amer /
Ca and Germany two years before
hat war began The insinuatiOn that /
Mr.. Tunnel is not a one hundred
Jer cent. American is TOO silly for dis
,ussiOn and is not likely to be made
~ any except some malicious parti-
an of Senator Salisbury who con-
.eals his identity, fearing to come
ut in the open.
Mr.. Tunnels service as a member
f the State Council of Defense for
ne year. his writing the bill Great
lg a State Council of Defense, his ]
peeches as a four minute man, his
peeches in the drive at the very be- |
inning of the war TO secure enlist 2
tents for the Delaware Regiment, his l
Deeches for the various Liberty
oans and War Stamp drives, to- a
ether with his subscriptions to all +
lese, thoroughly disprove the das-
rdly insinuations of this unknown q
alicious and carping critic. y
It would be interesting to know
wv much this unknown has done for e.
S country since the beginning of the
ar so that comparison may be N
ade with the record of Mr.. Tunnel. tC
Thus far the contest between Sem
or Salisbury and Mr. Tunnel has fo
en- free from personalities. We are
t inclined TO blame Senator Sauls- th
ry for this outbreak on the part Of
e unknown. We think the manner OF
attack OF this unknown indicates pl

A FREE ADVERTISEMENT

The taxpayers of Sussex County
are entitled to public notice as to
when the Receiver of Taxes will sit
in the various districts to receive the
taxes, and the operation of the tax
department was started upon the
principal that the public is entitled
to the fullest information. When the
Government of Sussex County passed
into the control of the Democratic
party, and Mr. Valiant was made
director of public affairs through his
assumption of that position, which
was backed by his colleague, another
plan was adopted, and the policy Of
giving notice of important sittings by
the Receiver of Taxes by posting a
few small pieces of paper in various
districts before the date of sitting, !
came into effect. This policy may
stop the expenditure of thirty dollars
through disseminating the advertising |
in all the papers in the county of the
AtAlIo NAANlA lAAt lNGNGANEA Will nlLs UuLs
this leaves fully ninety per cent. of
all taxpayers without opportunity to
learn the dates when they may have
the advantage of paying their taxes
at a convenient point. One poster
was sent to the Town Clerk last Sat
urday afternoon. to post in South
Milford, showing when the Receiver
OF Taxes would sit at Milford and al
so other places. This leaves proper
ty owners who reside in Kent County
but own property in Sussex County
no chance to be informed of their op-
portunity. For that reason, and for
the reason that we feel that our read
ers in all parts of Sussex County will t
appreciate the information, we are .
printing the schedule of the dates the !
Receiver of Taxes will sit and the {
places, that they may be informed. !

1T is IMPORTANT that the State
Senate Of Delaware be composed of
practical men of ability to consider
and decide what legislation is neces-
sary for the needs and requirements
OF wise and practical government.
Naturally men of that kind will be
endowed with political sagacity and
ability to cope with the propaganda
and political aims Of their opponents.
It is important that men shall be
nominated by both parties who are
right upon the moral questions, as
well as loyal to the nation and the
state. The hold over members of
the State Senate need to be strength
ened with men of this class from both
parties, and it is up to Milford to
supply two Of these Senators, and for
their character and ability the people
Of the Fifth Senatorial District of
Kent County and the people Of the
First Senatorial District of Sussex
County, will be responsible to the
State. 1t is the privilege of the First
Representative District of Sussex
County to name the Senator for the
next four year term. who is to be
elected at the November elections. and
while there are many who would ap-
preciate the honor, it is necessary to
nominate a man who will be accent.

THE REUNITED Republican Party
Of Delaware has made a great start
for success at the November elections.
by naming a State ticket, which we
place at the head of our editorial
column this week, for which no apol-
ogy is needed. This beginning must
be followed by the various county
primaries in presenting only clean
men, and who have recognized ability
to accomplish business along practi-
cal and successful lines, as fitting
running mates for the State nominees.
We must present a ticket that the
people can look upon from top to
bottom, and be unable to point out
candidate who is incompetent in prac-
ucal business, or of such moral hab-
its as will ALLEVIATE support by or from
any citizen upon those grounds. A |
clean ticket, and a strong ticket will
win success in the state and in every
county in Delaware, with a united
Republican Party giving it support.
It is up to the people to vote at the
primary of their county next month.
md so nominate the men to fill the
county and local district positions.
