AS TO DELEGATE CONTESTS.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING JOUR
| NAL:
Slr-In the Morning News. the accred
tied newspaper mouthpiece Of Alfred |
dupont, on Saturday. | read in tht
course Of an interesting account Of
conference delegation OF Kent coln
ty Republicans had had with Mr.. du
Pont, the following:
Mr.. dupont, in answer TO a ques-
tion from a Kent county leader,
also advised against small counter
contests for delegates. ION the one
hand we have now absolute har-
mony," he said, "and everybody Is
doing his utmost TO make every
thing possible out OF the harmony
proposition as a lead TO Victory.
Therefore, II seems that there is
no necessity for any contest as
the delegates, who are working in
this harmony line have nothing else
TO worry about. And Furthermore,
the more you fight at home over
delegate selections, the less fight
you viii have left in you for nght-
ing the Democrats"
was greatly surprised to read that
Mr.. dupont, who has decreed against
"bossism" and is shouting 10 .let the
people rule" should assume the atti-
tude that there is no necessity for
any contest"
How are friends OF the various men
mentioned in connection with the
United States Senatorship nomination
going to assure delegates for their
choice sitting in the nominating con
yention unless they enter into a con-
test to elect such delegates, in many
instances.
For instance, suppose there should
oe a strong sentiment for Ex-Governor
Miller and Or. Ball for Senator in a
district. How would the delegates
know the real sentiment, how would
they know the choice Of their constitu-
ents, how could they follow the prin-
ciple Of "let the people rule" unless
there should be contest for delegates
TO the State convention from that par
ticular district?
How will the delegates from the
Eighth ward or the Ninth ward, know
for Whom to vote for United States
Senator in the convention unless there
should be a contest for delegates in
those wards. l am assuming, of
course. that theme would be no attempt
TO name delegates who would carry
out orders from higher up" regard
less Of real sentiment OF the voters
Of those wards.
1T seems to me, as a Republican, anx-
lous for harmony, that contests FOR
delegates are necessary under the con-
vention system if we are to "let the
people rule" II 'there Is no necessity
Tor any contest" how are the dele
gates going to determine the nomlns-
lions in the convention? They would
not know the real sentiment OF the
voters in their districts; there is un-
Iuestlonably a division Of sentiment in
