to sit pretty as race leaders for the great bod!
of negroes in all parts of Delaware. Many goot
men are misled and abandoned in this politca
trench fighting and in after years see their grea
mistake, as well as realize the falseness of theil
would-be political associates-for their owl
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The colored people may be
fooled some times as individuals, but as a class
they are well capable of taking care of theil
own welfare. So the attempt by Democrats tc
split the negro vote failed again in Delaware.
THE REPUBLICANS OF SUSSEX have nom
mated county ticket which deserves the earn
est support of all Republicans especially of the
Levy Court Commissioners, which is one of the
greatest importance to the people, because it is
the business department through which the
money expended has to be dispersed The plans
for highway maintenance and creation, all have
to be planned by this department Of county
government. The economical and practical
methods of conducting all business which takes
/ the money collected from the people through and
/ by taxation, all must be by direction and under
the control of the men in the Levy Court. For
this reason, men of ability, common sense and
adaptability to business practices, which can be
carried out a large scale, should compose
that membership.
In nominating J. Leon Black, of Milton, for
membership in the Levy Court the Republicans
have selected a high-class man for that impOr-
tant office. 1t is especially important to the peo
pie of the northern tier of districts in Sussex
county, that he should be elected, because of his
interest in the highways which are already
started and which will have to be built from
Milford along the northeastern part of the coun-
ty. 1t behOoves all the people of northern Sus-
sex regardless of party, who desire to see the
First and Second Representatives Districts re-
ceive what they are entitled to in highway con-
struction and maintenance, to vote for J. Leon
Black. who is pledged to perform his duty ac-
cording to law, and, at the same time will look
well to the interest of the northern part of his
county. He is qualified mentally and has the
wide view Of experience in public affairs.
TO most agrculturists and hOrticulturists of
Sussex county. Gardner e. Bunting, of Baltimore
Hundred is well known. He has been closely as
with public affairs and has made sue
cess Of a business, that takes him to all parts
Of the county and into touch with the people and |
their needs in public affairs Honest fair in his
lealings and with good business qualifications,
he will get the ballots of all Republicans and
many Democrats from the lower districts of the
county who know him With Black and Bunt-
ng in the Levy Court of Sussex county the
eople may well feel that the affairs will be con-
ucted on a business basis, Of service and econ
my.
