SATURDAY, JUNE II. 1922.
REPUBLICAN FACTIONS AT WAR,

II Is now plainly apparent that the
Republican party OF Delaware Is d.
vided into two hostile factions. which
st this time are engaging In acri-
monious. even bitter. warfare. One
faction is tho regular party organiza-
ton. OF which Senator Coleman du
ront IL the acknowledged leader. and
the other faction u composed OF OPP
poncnts OF tho organization faction,
and apparently opponents Of a con-
tlnuance OF Senator du Pont in his
Senate seat.
The followers OF this faction have
no form OF organization that Is ap-
parent 20 the public eye. but they are
undoubtedly numerous. and some OF
them claim to be representative OF n
majority Of the par,y's voters. as dem
onstrated by their majority following
among the Republican members OF the
State Senate and the Republican
members Of the New Castle county
Levy Court.
In respect Of these two reprcsen-
tative elements. they class the Repub-
lican State Senators and the Repub-
lican members Of the Levy Court who
train with the organization faction as
party boilers.

The cause OF cleavage is the ar

wolcott WAS appointed Chancellor by
Governor Denney. and. res!gn!ng his
sen, IN the Senate TO accept the ap-
roin,ment, left a vacancy in the latter
body which Governor Denney filed
by naming Coleman du Pont. Many
Republicans at the time resented this
transfer AZ a discredi;able deal and re-

Senator du Pont OF whatever odium
may have attached to tho Chancellor
appointment and to throw II entirely
upon Governor Denney. Many looked
for an indignant reprisal from the
governor, but thus far no has &C
cepted the rather humiliating arraign-
mcnt without a word OF protest. That
his silence should impart credcnce to
the presumption that this outbreak
by the organization papers was a
scheme for saving tho face" Of Sena-
tor du Pont, entered into with full
acquiescencc by Governor Denney, il
only natural. rs without such nm I'M
derstanding many who have given
consideration to the incident cannot
Sc how the governor could have
tamely submitted to the indignity
thereby cast upon him.
This natural and reasonable i'm
preston Is strengthened by the Levy
Court selection made by Governor
Denney, which came subsequent to
these apparent indignities hurled at
him by organization instigation. a. he
named an organization Republican.
and thereby enabled the two orEani-
nation members OF the Levy Court.
by combining with tho two Demo-
Gratis, to secure control Of that body.
So here We have a fair resume Of
the conditions Mt present existing in
tho Republican party OF Delaware.
II is divided into two nercely fighting
factions. one standing behind Senator
du Pont, and classed an boilers by its
fractional opponents. and the other
headed by no one knows who, but
evidently acting under shrewd and
capable leadership. So bitter is this
factional contest becoming that II
would not be surprising to see it at
any time develop into open and vigor-
Gus opposition TO the nomination of
Senator du Pont, or IN the event c:
his nomination by default vindic-
tive opposition to his election in No
vemoer.
This situation should be highly en-
couraging to the Democratic party

with an effective presentation OF the
utter unworthiness OF the Republican

Long Popular in Europe.

Though bells are coming into popu-
larity In this country, for war me-
MORALS and in church steeples, chimes
and chime players have not yet been
given the recognition here that
Europe has accorded them. For more
than four centuries the bells have held
a high place in the life Of towns OF
Europe. especially in Belgium and
Holland. Many OF the larger cities
in this part OF Europe have carillons.
containing several octaves and attuned
have as many as forty-five or fifty
bells In carlton sets OF bells.
How popular they are In these
countries may be seen from the esti-
mate that there are about one hundred
carillons in Holland and almost as
many in Belgium. During the war
some of the Belgium sets We're wrecked
/ by German troops and valuable old
bells were melted down TO make am
munition. This was cause of great
Indignation among the Belgians who
look upon their bells as old and treasur-
ed possessions.
The player OF the chimes abroad
has always been figure OF local i'm
portance and musician OF distinction.
Often he holds office from the city off,
Gals. Every day or at set times he
gives the townsfolk concert OF old
melodies. hymns. folk songs. even
classical selections. through the round,
sonorous notes OF the bells.
