party conditions throughout the state
as he found them upon his recent
trips to various sections of Delaware.
Mr.. Warner has just returned from
a three-day trip through lower New
Castle county and part Of Kent coun-
ty.
THE conditions in lower New Cas-
tie and the part of Kent county Wis
tied" said Mr.. Warner, ARE very sat
isfactory from the Republican stand
point. There is an increasing senti-
ment in behalf of the national ticket
The more the people learn of Harding
and Coolidge. the more they read the
public statements of these two lead
ers defining their position upon the
issues of the day. the more earnest is
the public advocacy of the Republic
can ticket Men in position to
speak advisedly of sentiment in their
local communities, assure me that the
Harding Coolidge sentiment has wax
ed appreciably stronger in the last
two weeks and that they feel conf
dent this will continue as the cam
paign wears on and the issues be-
come more thoroughly discussed.
Il am informed by these men that
the interest of the rank and file of
the party in the success of the ticket
all the way down the line has sell
dom been keener than it is this
year This is especially gratifying to
the Republican State Committee and
to myself, because it is the steadfast (
purpose of the State Committee TO
make every Republican feel that it
is his party and that his interests are .
going to be consulted and conserved
in all party affairs.
Announce Finance Plan
Not the least of the contributing
influences to this optimism, which
pervades the ranks of the party, is
the plan of financing the Republican
1t is now the plan in cam
paign contributions that no subscrip-
tion in excess of 1000 from any in
dividual or corporation will be per
mitted or accepted by the Republican
National Committee. In applying this
policy, it is evident that the success (
Of the party must depend more than
ever upon both the financial and the
moral support of all Republicans. 1t
IS interesting to note how this
principle of giving every ]
)ne a chance to contribute to the
)artys needs is arousing their great .
II interest in the party's policies and [
he party success.
I presume this is the same psychol-
,gy which operated to make the Lib I
.rty Loans so successful by reason of {
he multitude of small investors. i
Delaware citizens, irrespective Of ,
,arty, stand solidly in favor of clean {
Elections and will not tolerate crook s
d practices, according to Mr.. War 5
er. {
Want Clean Election /
tI believe every citizen of the State I
Tho is right minded stands for a pure e
lection mere ami Throughout the !.
ountry." Mr.. Warner said. The DEM l
cratic State Committee on Saturday I
dopted a strong resolution calling ;
pom the citizens of the State to figis( $
)r a clean election this year. ?
Mr.. Warner said that he and other b
epublicans welcomed the entrance ?
f any agency like the Service Citi- d
ems into the question of keeping the m
allot pure. The Service Citizens h
rs been asked by private citizens to T.
snder its Offices in keeping the bal u
i clean. n
