he sweeping in their victory Tor COX ana
the whole ticket In the opinion OF the
Democratic chairman, the tactics ot the
Republican organization In the past lew
DAYS has indicated its desperation and
makes him more con fident than ever, that
Delaware will once more swing back into
the Democratic column. In statement
lsslled today. Mr.. Issacs says:
"A review of the political situation IN
Delaware Yields. but one conclusion.
That the battle Is wor rs now thoroughly
apparent The resort of the Republican
organization during the past week to
tartics, the like of which have probably
nover been seen in Delaware, has been an
obvious manifestation OF the despair TO
which the Republican leaders have been
reduced The problem now Is to hold last.
The campaign has long since ceased 10
Ia nurely partisan contest II is not a
question OF the Democratic party on the
one side. and of the Republican party on
the other. II is solely question from the
national standpoint of peace through
the League of Nations. and from the stand
point of the State, n question 81 clean
elections and clean government as re-
suit thereof The appearance IN Winning
ton Of Governor Cox and his magnlhcent
address have electrified the whole state
Personally | have heard OF number oi
substantial citizens who within the last
few davs have said that while normally
Republicans. they will vote for Governor
Cox and for the whole Democratic ticket
The local campaign has been greatly
strengthened in its appeal as result OF the
events Of the last few days The kepuhii-
can organization is utterly discredlted.
Certain of the public statements OF the
Republican State chairman, together
with the rcprehenslhle tactics OF the he
publican organization above mentioned
have shown cOnclusIvely 20 thoughtiui
self-respectlng citizens. who put principe
above party, that the Republican party
has no concern for the great cause Of clean
poltics in Delaware 20 which the Demo
cratic party has been for several months
past openly committed, except to offer OBJ
riruction 10 the movement. Women
voters generally. together with great
mass az men Who ordinarily vote the Re-
puhlicsn ticket have now reached the de-
cIeIon that IL they ire TO make their vote
count for peace in the nation and for clean
politics in Delaware, they can only do SO
hy voting for Co. and Lynch and the
whole Democratic ticket.
As already Indicated the campaign Is
not one of psrtisanship. With the be-
ginning Of last week, ! directed that all
meetings under the auspices Of the Dem
ocrstic committees should he advertised
IS Citizens Mass Meetings and thus
plan will be followed 10 the end OF the
campaign Reports show that the meet
ings have been well attended and that the
presence Of women voters and OF men OF
independent thought has been marked,
II could not be otherwise for the issues Of
the contest go 10 the very heart OF the
national and State life.
"If the election were held today the VIC
tory would be sweeping in its character,
Therefore let all good citizens who love
peace and right and Put principle above
partisanship, hold fast The experience
Of previous campaigns and recent de-
velopments make II prodent TO watch
Why not pray also? Our cause IS Just and
righteous altogether. The Eternal God Is
on our side Who, either today or on
election day, can stand against US
