TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE
(communicated)


The recent action of the KEN
County Committee in venturing to ex-
press an opinion in regard to the al
lotment of offices, would appear tC
have rung bulls eye, judging by an
editorial printed on the front page OF
a rural New Castle County newspaper
in which the committee is referred to
as PIN Heads" and their action as
part of a deep laid plot. But, surely,
the Kent County Committee was well
within its rights in expressing the
opinion, that some section of the
State other than New Castle County
was, by rotation of Office, entitled to
the nomination for Governor. Can it
be possible that such action touched
the purely personal ambition of any
one as opposed to the party welfare of
the many? Surely, "Pin Heads" could
not create a stir in the seats Of the
mighty, as to lead to the discovery of
an imaginary plot involving no less
than the distribution of Federal Offices
by National Committeeman and the
election of a Governor; to say moth
ing of knocking out the props from
under a mere Senatorial candidate.
But where is the imagination of the
editorial Socrates to be so stirred by
the PIN Heads?" Why imagine the
defeat of the candidate of their
choice? Would it not be more sensi-
BILE, more logical, more to the point,
and better imagination all around, to
imagine that it would serve the pur-
pose of the "Pin Heads" much bet
ter, to allow the present Senator to
be re-nominated and then by knock
ing the props from under him, kill two
birds with one stone? But that is go
ing too far, as even .he present Sena-
tor would admit. Talk about "spilling |
the BEANS" Imaginary beans are fit
for nothing but a brainless pup to
make a noise over. Thinking people |
can readily discern that success at the
polls is dependent upon party well
fare, and that party welfare can only
be secured by an equitable allotment
Of offices, together with the nomina-
ton of capable men to fill them whom
The entire party can support. The edi-
torial Socrates would do well, before
writing another editorial, to ponder
he words of a rural philosopher who
once said, "Whar de pin pricks dar
am de pint" Talk about splitting the
beans. Help yourself Socrates.
The premature criticism directed by
| few at the action OF the Kent COun-
y Committee appears to have been
mere tempest in tea pot. AS County
Chairman R. X. Jones pointed out in
lis letter to Thomas w. Miller, there
vas no intent to read anybody out of
he party but merely an attempt to
prevent certain individuals from US
ng the party as a cloak to cover
heir subserVience 70 other individ-
Ials inimical to it.
Really, it should not be necessary
o explain the action of the Commit |
ee at all, when a recollection of the
onditions which Obtained at the last Il
lection will make plain the fact, that
great number of intelligent, indie
endent voters, both men and women, e
asst their ballots for Coleman du G
ont, only to find their votes largely v
eutralized by few masquerading IN f
he ranks as Republicans. Surely, it Il
reading no one out of the party to n
the ballots of the independ-
ut voters and to remove the cloak of n
arty regularity from q few who O
ould hide their inquitous treason r
eneath it. L
