reports OF last week that the Repub-
l,can party. especially In lower Della
ware. IN endeavoring 10 divide itself
into two factions that promise TO make
hitter war on each other at the next

While organization Of the two
branches OF the party has not yet been
completed. there has been great
deal OF "gumshoe" work going on
mong tho politicians in the lower part
of the state. II the word OF some OF
the political leaders can be relied upon
Senator T. c. du Pont will have some
battle before ne will capture the Re
publican organization In the State and
secure his denomination for United
States Senator.
The adherents OF RUBY s. Vale o.
Milford have not vet given up the idea
that Mr.. Vale is the logical candidate
for Senator on the Republican ticket
They point TO the fact that both Sen
stors are from New Castle county and
the governor from Kent. and that as
Sussex Is Republican stronghold
they at least should have some OF the
high plums" that result from a party
victory. and this year they expec. to
push their alleged right for United
states Senator.
While Congressman Layton IL not
making my statements. some OF his
heutenents are expressing bitterness
at the result Of some recent appoint
ments made by Senator'S du Pont and
Rail, and intimate there is a time .:
reckoning near az hand.
They Lost BY the Deal.
In lower Kent county and upper
Sussex. there are many Republicans
who ere opposed 10 the renominat ton
az Senator du Pont because they claim.

were entitled by their work and vic
tory OF last election. as the result Of
the deal by which T. c. du Pont was
made Senator.

These and other grievances are
stirring them 20 action which IS lead
ing towards a political breach IN tn,
Republican ranks that will be reflect.
ed AZ the next primaries.
There seems 10 be some douh
whether Alfred !. du Pont win hell
them in their nsht for their alleSe'
rights. but some OF the prominen
oliticians point 20 the report that IN,
old Non-Fartisan League is be!ni
