OBITUARY
Winfield Lattomus

BY the death of Winfield Lattomus,
who passed away Sunday morning, Oc-
tober 29th, Townsend has lost one of
its best known and highly esteemed
citizens.
He was born in Townsend Feb. l6,
1860, the third son of Levi w. and
Joanna Uynam) Lattomus. He was of
a modest unobtrusive, but genial dispo-
sition, one who made many friends, and
no enemies.
Levi w. Lattomus established sue
cessful business in general merchandise
In Townsend. and when Winfield left
school he entered his fathers store.
Upon the death of the father, he with
now deceased, succeeded to the bust
ness, and in this work he continued un-
til failing health compelled him to re-
linquish the charge to his son.
Everything possible was done tor re-
store his health Weeks were spent in
the hos itals of Philadelphia, but his
disease seemed to be not only beyond
the reach of the physicians, but beyond
| their ken.
Although busy with his own affairs
his fellow townsmen demanded his ser
vices, and he spent many years as a
member of both the Town Council and
the School Board. He was a helpful
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and trustee from early man
hood until his death. He also served as
a directorV the Townsend Trust Com
pany from its foundation. Against his
own personal inclination he was nomi-
mated for Representative to the State
Legislature, and notwithstanding the
fact that his party was in the minority,
was elected, filling the position credit
ably as he did all Others to which he
was called
He will be remembered, not for the
words he spoke, but for the life he
lived
He leaves widow, Clara, the daugh
ter of Henry A. and Jennie Wilson
and two children to mourn their loss, ;
daughter, Mrs. Harry Hoch, and sol
Wilson Lattomus, both of Townsend
Three brothers also survive him, Fran
els Lattomus, former Coroner of New
Castle County, as we'll as member o
the Legislature, now residing in Viii
mington; Thomas Lattomus. Presiden
of the Townsend Trust Company, ant
Levi Lattomus, Treasurer of the sam'
Institution.
He leaves to his children a legac,
better than silver n gold, the memor,
of the life of a Christian gentleman.
Funeral services were held at his lat
home Wednesday afternoon at tw
o'clock, and interment was made i
Townsend NJ. +. cemetery.

REPUBLICAN CONFIDENCE

With the approach of the closing
days of the campaign the Republicans
are confident, and they believe that
Delaware will return satisfactory
majority for the entire Republican
ticket. There is nothing to indicate
Democratic victory or any serious de-
parture from normal.
One reason for the confidence of the
Republicans is based on the fact that
careful estimate of the registration
shows that the Republicans have a
majority of between six and seven
thousand on the face of the figures for
the entire State.
1t may be said that such an estimate
is not entirely accurate, and this is
true, but if the Republicans are liable
to lose from their figures of those reg
stered the Democrats on the other
hand are also liable to lose because
some Democrats will vote the Republ-
can ticket. 1t is rather certain that a
considerable number of Democrats and
Independents will support the Republi-
can candidates. The Republicans in
the past have always got some of this
support.
No reasonable arguments have been
advanced as to why there should be a
change in the State or Country. When
the Republican administration took hold
the nation in more ways than one was
at skies and sevens. Industry wa.
tagging seriously, thousands upon thou
sands were out of work, the govern
ment was spending money right anr
left with a lavish hand, and the outool
was anything but bright. The RepubH
cans had to salvage the nation, re
habilitate, get back as far as possible
to normal. This necessarily ha
been slow work, but great progres
has been made. The expenses of tn,
nation and the national debt have beel
reduced. There is little, if any, idle
ness, industry is reviving and the out
look is as bright as it could well be
Why, then, should there be an inter
ference with the normal trend O
affairs
The Delaware campaign has bee
conducted energeticaly with man
meetings, and more are to come. Tn
people have shown much interest in til
outcome, they are attentive to tn
speakers and altogether the Republ
cans have every kind of reason for pc
litica cheerfulness. - Wilmington Morn
