paign leaders are complaining of Il
Republican campaign fund. 1t is r,
liably reported that many heretofol
loyal Democrats are this year cOntr
buting to the Republican campaig
chest. And they will be active work
ers, as well as contributors.

IT MAY SEEM impossible to real
ize that the Democratic party in Del
aware has any chance to win in Del
aware this year with a united Repub
lican party standing behind the tick
ct as nominated, We do not believ
it possible and no Democrat WHIT
knows anything about the political
situation in Delaware believes thai
they have any chance; but, with any
organized opposition or split in the
Republican ranks. there would be a
quick healing of their differences for
the sake of victory in November. Let
all strive for the nominee of their
choice. but if unable to land, then
Loyalty support the majority nominee
that is the sure way to win the
election for the principles of the par
ty of our choice.

ON WEDNESDAY of this week the
Tennessee legislature ratified the
nineteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution, which gives the right of
franchise to the women of the United
States. This has been a long and hard
fight for the women. The late ratifi-
cation means several problems for
the election officials to solve in a
very brief time. In Delaware the
women have only two more days in
which to register and qualify them
selves as voters, and it is certain that
many of the voting districts will have
to be divided and more election Off /
GERS will have to be appointed to hold |
the elections. 1t now looks as if an |
other special session of the legisla-
ture will have to be held to make pro-
vision for the additional voters, as
well as for places to hold elections in
several districts. Quick action will
have to be taken in this matter.

of a league" and is he afraid to tell i
them what kind of a league?

THE DELEGATES CHOSEN AT the =
Republican elections which will be
held in Delaware tomorrow will prob 5
ably nominate the next Governor of L
Delaware. If this be true then the h
delegates selected by the voters to F
take part in the State Convention at
Dover next Tuesday, must realize u
that there is something deeply inn
portant for them to perform for all c
the people. Let us hope that the con- S
vention will look well and think deep
as to whom that man shall be. Above
others he must be free to exercise S
honest judgment, and name appointees "
without being influenced by the po-
litical or personal interests of any in .,
dividual, or set of interests, other b
than what will be best for all the peo-
pie. At this period of the world af- m
fairs it is important that Delaware
shall have Governor who is capable NJ
Of thinking and deciding the issues d;
which will and may arise during his
administration. He must be free p
rom any entangling alliances which
would influence his appointment of Fl
he Judiciary especially. Legislatures III
enact laws drawn by lawyers, but 'l
Judges interpret and construe laws in
heir application, and through them
,ur rights and liberties are affected.
With a strong state ticket to lead the m
nominees to be made in September W
Delaware will be standing in the list
If Republican states as usual. With e e
and recognition Of rights h, m
If others, victory is certain. tn
