MILFORD. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1924

THE ELECTIONS LAST TUESDAY settled
for the next two years campaign circulation OF
canards and false issues among the people, and
Delaware will be benefited to an extent that
will be helpful if not panacea for the future
of politics. AS the results are learned the great
er is the amazement and realization of the fact
that the American people are solidly against any
further tampering with the Constitution or firt-
ing with world responsibilities through any form
of league with other nations. From returns so
far as tabulated now, the Republicans have
simply overwhelmed their opponents The Dem
Ocratic Party is sitting behind the solid South,
while the Radicals under the lead of La Toilette
are poor third in the race. Yet it is not to be
overlooked, that over three millions of votes
pOlled by the Radical Party in the entire
country. One of the important results shown
by the election is the fact, that not only has all
the country except the Democratic South gone
for Coolidge, not only has it rejected decisively
and unmistakably the La Toilette attack on the
Supreme Court and the La Toilette program of
Government ownership, but it has sent the con-
servative Republican Presidential leader back
into power with his hands greatly strengthened.
While both the Senate and House will be Repub-
lican, they also appear to have Republican ma
jorities that will enable the President and his |
party leaders to fight successfully the bloc op-
position which so frequently overrode his poll |
eies during the last session of Congress. I
Delaware Republicans have won marvellous |
victory. The largest majority ever given for any |
party is recorded for President Coolidge and the
entire State ticket. From the City of Whining |
ton and rural New Castle came the greater part |
of this wonderful majority; but even Kent split |
at nearly an even break between the Republican |
and Democratic ticket, while Sussex contributed |
one thousand to the Republican total.
The atmosphere should be clarified as the re-
suit of this result of the 1924 elections. Just |
bit of common sense and reasonable respect for !
the opinions of others, will continue the conf
dence Of the people in the Republican Party.
The people believe in the principles and pur-
poses of the Republican party and will continue
their support so long as results in government
justify them. The progress in our schools, in
road systems, in our business policies as
shown in the administration of the finances of
Delaware, the safeguarding the rights and priv
ileges of the people through and by enforcement
of the laws, as well by farsighted policies
which will bring better conditions to school
buildings and transportation, are policies which
this majority vote of all the people of Delaware
have endorsed.
Probably one of the most important results to !
county government, was changing the Levy
Court of Kent County from a Democratic to a 1
Republican majority. The change was brought S
about largely as a result Of discord in the DEM
Ocratic ranks as to policies to be persued, and L
the act of the voters show that the people of Il
Kent County were willing to trust the Republi- e
cans to manage the affairs and finances Of Kent
or the next two years. This is hard blow to is
he small district political followers of the DEM il
,cratic party, but it also has other bearings on
he property Of all the people within the coun-
y, as the Levy Court has the appointing of the 8"
On-partisan Board of Assessment. This is a tE
comparatively new department in Kent County
government. and so far has functioned with sat N
sfaction to a great majority of the people. en-
