TunneH's Candidacy
IFrom The Georgetown Sussex Repub llcan)

AS predicted in these columns months
ago, Senator Salisbury is TO have op-
position 20 his return to the Senate.
This week James NJ. Tunnel, Of this
town announced his candidacy for the
Senate. To those who have watched
developments in the Democratic camp,
this announcement was not unex-
pected. 1t Is safe TO say that this an
nouncement viii be followed by others
who will enter the Senatorial fight fOr
the nomination from the Democratic
party. We have the suspicion that. it
will appear later that these moves are
a part OF a concerted action TO pre-
vent Sausbury's nomination. that
salisbury will be compelled TO nght a
Democratic combination composed Of
his old factional opponents, and the
new opponents he has himself made In
his own faction. The latter opposition
Is the natural result Of the treatment
Salisbury has accorded his old follow
ers In this county. The men who have
stood by him through all his fights in
the past TO whose adherence he owes
his election. have been forgotten or
ignored. While he has dispensed ofllces
with a lavish hand In New Castle Coun-
ty plums have been few and far be-
tween In Sussex.
The Democrats Of this county resent
his haste and activity In using his In
nuence TO place the postoflces under
civil service. thereby shutting the door
Of opportunity for these places in the
face Of his friends. and then his old
Sussex friends say, that he has not been
tactful In the manner in which he has
rejected the opportunities for recognl-
tion. Many Of them feel hurt and in
suited, and believe now is their oppor-
tunity TO square accounts
Mr.. Tunnel IS able. aggressive and
popular, a representative son Of Sussex

leaders Of his party in this county. and
the opposition in this county to Sauls-
bury will rally around him.
The selection Of a Federal judge to
succeed Judge Bradford will start an
other fight in the Democratic party that
viii be source of trouble to Sauls-
bury
II Judge Boyce is receptive candl-
date for this position. salisbury will
support him for the place.
Senator WalcOtt, because OF a life
long friendship and association will un-
doubtedly support James H. Hughes,
who is understood to be an aspirant for
that Judicial honor Others will expect
salisbury TO support them.
salisbury is a fighter and not a com
promiser, and the two Democratic SEN
ators are more than likely to lock horns
over this appointment OF United States
district tudgeshlp. all OF which will add
fuel TO the flames Of discerd famed by
the senatorial contest.

They had asked the government to
