REASONS

l.
port senator salisbury for reelection
ana also to the Democratic party yot
ers with whom l have been associate,
IN the past years, l give some OF tn,
reasons through the columns of III,
MllIord Chronicle, realizing that | car
fedch all who are interested. anf
many who have only a casual Interest

PROBABLY open to criticism by those
VINO 40 not think as | do, but they are
very real TO me, and it is myself WHO
mas TO do and satisfy my own CON
science, and therefore / am printing
them with your permission.
senator salisbury was elected. or
chosen, by a legislature which was
erected by a united Democratic marty
but through and by his policy in the
iast SIX years, that party has been
split into two camps.
Senator Salisbury has recognized
only those of the Democratic marty
VINO were affiliated with his interests
in years past, in making appointments
/ TO Office.
Senator Salisbury has offended the
moral and better class OF the Demo
cratic party, by recognizing the wbis-
Key element by selecting wet men
Tor otlce in every instance but one
and that was a pOst-office appointment
al Lewes; but, even then he selected
a lady who is the wife of a former
motel man and liquor dealer for that
position.
would not find fault with this
action of Senator Salisbury. if there
were not those who hold views which
uphold the Church of God and are
anti-salOOn in their belief and profess
sion, and of these there are thousands
OF capable, or more capable. to fill the
offices which he has had to dispose of
not only in Delaware, but at Washing (
ton and throughout the nation.
We certainly have men of ability in
the Democratic party who have been
ignored by Senator Salisbury. Right
mere in Milford we have Joseph E
Holland, a churchman, a business
man, a good citizen and [ think
pretty good man for any community
