ALL REPUBLICANS SHOULD VOTE
THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET
NO NECESSITY FOR REPUBLICANS OPPOSING The SCHOOL
LAWS TO CUT THE TICKET PRESENT LAW IS
TO BE REPEALED.

slavery question and there is no rea-
son we should prefer a Democratic
legislative candidate to our Republi-
can nominee on account of his posi-
ton on the liquor question.
Then. the School Code cannot pos
sibly be an issue since the law is to
be repealed and a new law written by
Delawareans for Delawareans. which
will not cost so much money. It
makes no difference what men are
elected, this law is going to be writ
ten by representative Delawareans
and is going to be passed Hadn't Re
pubHcans better have Republican
members of the legislature there than
Democrats, when it is practically as
sured either man would be support
ing modern school law, practically
having the unanimous approval of the
whole State?
And so it all sums up. Can we af-
ford to revert to Democratic election
methods in Delaware? Can we afford
to take a chance on the administra-
tion of our new county system of
government by a party which vehe-
mently opposed its adoption and pre-
dicted its failure? Can we afford to
take a chance on them again passing
their old delinquent laws and running
away tax collectors and placing
small poX'' signs on the home of
Democratic tax collectors, so that Re
publicans couldn't pay their tax and
would therefore be deprived of their
votes?
Can we take chance of having the
State Treasury go back to the time
when our legislators had to borrow
money to pay their own salaries, as
was its status when Republicans took
hold of Delaware2/
We think not. We see no reason a
Republican should not vote the entire
Republican ticket-NatiOnal State
and COunty-on Tuesday next.
Milford chronicle., 1920-10-29

We have been asking ourselves the
question and are going to ask the Re
nublicans of Kent and Sussex coun-
Ties the question: Is there any reason
tbis year any Republican should vote
against his party and prefer a Demo-
cratic nominee? And for the purpose
Of arguing the question out for our
own satisfaction and for the satisfac-
tion of men and women Republican
voters. we are going to ask few
questions, and answer these questions
the way we see conditions.
First-Being a Republican and
believing in Republican princi-
pies. can we approve of Demo-
cratic national methods as shown
by their handling of affairs for the
last eight years by voting for
Cox?
Our answer to this is that Mr.. Cox
has shown no special qualifications
which would lead us to believe he is
in any way superior to the Republi-
can nominee, Mr.. Harding, and we
see no reason to put our o. X. on Mr..
Wilson's policies by supporting Mr..
Cox.
Second-As a Republican, have
we any reason to prefer a nomi-
nee on the Democratic State
Ticket to his opponent on our
Ticket?
Our answer to that is this: Man for
man, the Republican nominees are
just as capable, just as competent,
and have just as much ability, to say
the least, as their Democratic oppo-
nents.
Thirds there any reason we,
as Republicans, should prefer a
Democratic legislative nominee to
his Republican opponent?
And right here we should think for
a minute. The wet and dry question
is not an issue. 1t is dead as the

GAMERS ARE FACING
GREAT FINANCIAL Loss
THERE IS MUCH OF LAST YEARS AND
THIS YEARS CROP STILL LEFT ON
The GAMERS HANDS.
The PUBLIC is NOT BUYING
ASSOCIATION CONSIDERS WAYS AND
MEANS OF HITTING CONTRACT;
D0DGING J0BBERS.

Unless some means of lOosening the
present stagnant market is found,
Gamers of Delaware and the sur
rounding states must face a serious
financial loss, according to a state
ment made by State Senator Asa Ben
nett, of FrankfOrd, this week. Sena-
tor Bennett is president of the Tri-
State Gamers Association which held
a special meeting at the Hotel dupont
to consider means of improving the
present situation.
According to reports given to the
Gamers the number of cases packed
this year was 4,2790O0 which is 600,-
600 less than any other year since
before 1918. Despite this small pack
most of the Gamers still have a ma
iority of their product on their hands.
1t was to discuss the pheOmOnon of
a public that would not buy that the
meeting was held.
1t was stated wholesale grocers and
retailers alike are not buying either
canned goods or any other commod-
ity because of the financial situation.
Having lost heavily in sugar and 9TH
er foods, the grocers are conserving

'fering. speakers declared.
1t was also reported at the meet
ing that a number of jobbers who
previously contracted for the canned
goods are now breaking their con-
tracts on the fiimsest pretexts. Com
mittees were appointed to take charge
of this phase of the situation with
power to investigate all alleged
grounds for breaking contracts with
the Gamers.
As a result of their deliberations
individual Gamers declared they
were willing to sell the canned goods
in their warehouses at cost to pre-
vent more serious financial loss. 1t
was also intimated that if the commit
tee to act against the cOntract-dodg
ing jobber is not sufficient, the can
ners may unload their product direct
to the consumer.

night in Milford few minutes after
he had received word to be on the
lookout for a stolen car. The author

NO ELECTION RETURNS
TO BE HAD IN MILFORD

Those who were promoting the cleo
ton return service in Milford have
decided to call off all arrangements
for this service. There were several
factors which contributed to this de-
cision on the part of the hackers of
the scheme. In the first place it is
possible that the large room in the
Armory may be used for voting pur-
poses, and should this prove to be
the case it would be impossible to use
the building. In the second place the
interest in securing the returns was
apparently not great enough to JUS
tify the money outlay, so the affair
has been called off.

BUILDING SEWER FACILITIES

The town of Milford has had man
hole built on North Front street, near
the hospital, which will benefit the
sewer through that square. 1t is an
unusual long section of sewer, and
the sand has washed into the sewer
and partly filled the eighteen inch
sewer pipe. The extreme distnce of
the manholes apart makes it difficult
to clear the sewer-which is the rea-
son for the expenditure of money for
this work.

Major league baseball teams open the season in seven National and American circuit cities today, weather permitting, in the initial games of what is expected to be one of the best pennant contests in the history of the professional organization.
 Forecasts indicate fair and colder weather with high winds for majori- ty of the baseball parks, but this will hardly check the enthusiasm of baseball fans, judging from reports of advance reservations sales at all the cities involved.
 According to the schedules of the two leagues. there will be opening games in two eastern and two western cities of each circuit today and the visiting teams will, in turn, open the season at their own ball parks on April 22.
 In the National League Pittsburgh will play at St. Louis; Chicago at Cincinnati: Philadelphia at Brook lyn and Boston at New York; The American League programme calls for New York at Philadelphia; Wash ington at Boston; St. Louis at Cleve- land and Detroit at Chicago.
 In every case special arrangements nave been maQe to CeieDrdte the De- ginning of another baseball season in which parades of the players. flag raising, band concerts and the throw ing out of the first ball by prominent state or city officials will form g prominent part.
 Anaylsis of the strength of the va. rious teams on the eve of the pennant race appears to indicate that there will be several changes in the stand ing of the clubs at the close of tht first month of the races as compared with tlN: of a year ago. While it vii be fully a month before any accurate line can be obtained upon the req strength of the teams. it would ap- pear from the form displayed in tht spring practice that they can b. grouped generally at this time as fol | lows :

New York, April 13.-Traders and professional interests almDst as whole seemed disposed to pay less at- tention to the railroad strike today passing their more confident attitude on the belief that the strike is on the wane.
 The stock market was strong only in spots, however, -~>d shares sec ondary steels, equipments, shippings and miscellaneous specialties making variable gains, while erstwhile leaders in the industrial division were irreg- ular and occasionally heavy.
 Conditions in the money market were not materially altered call loans opening at per cent. and advancing to 12 on the usual belated demand in the final dealings. Time funds were increasingly scarce but local and in- terior banks were reported as buyers of mechants' paper.
 Foreign exchange rallied from its recent continuous depession. due chiefly, it was believed. to reduced offerings. British, French and Italian bills made up part of yesterdays re- versal. but the German mark broke sharply.
 Fresh interest attached to the gold ~yport movement by reason of furth- CT extensive enga agements of the ma terial for shipment to South Amer ica. Bankers in touch with the sit uation declared that exports are founded solely on the fact that ex- change at Buenos Aires continues at the gold import point. Stocks were at their best in the last hour. when oils of the Texas and | Mexican groups were run up sudden | ly at the expense of the shorts.
