HOLD REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES TOMORROW
Delegates To State Convention 70
Be Held On Tuesday, ApriI22,
Will Be Elected.
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
Real Fight Is To Elect Men Who Will
Send Delegation Favorable To
7. C. du POnt To Cleveland.

The Republicans in all parts of
Delaware will hold their primaries to-
morrow afternoon between the hours
of 1 o'clock and o'clock, at which
time delegates to the State Convention
to be held at Dover next Tuesday Will
be elected. In all sections OF the
State there will be contests between
the Organization, or T.. Coleman du
POnt faction, and the anLi-Organization
clan. In the Kent county side in Mil
ford spirited contests are in store; but
on the South Milford side a cOmpro-
mise has been effected between the
two factions. At Lincoln, however,
the fight will be to a finish.
The real question confronting the
voters at this time is that of whether
II. Coleman du POnt is to be re-elect-
ed a member of the National Commit
tee from Delaware, or whether he is
to be replaced by another. His Oppo-
nents are throwing smoke screens to
blind the voters; but the fact remains
that his election is the paramount is
sue before the voters.
The Wilmington Evening Journal,
speaking editorially, presents the sit
uatiOn in a clear concise manner in
one of its issues this week. The edi-
torial is we'll worth digesting; and
should be given careful consideration
by Republicans voters before they |
cast their ballots tomorrow. 1t fol-
lows:
There are certain things which all
Delaware friends of General T. Cole
man du Pont should keep constantly
in mind from now until after the Re-
publican State Convention has met
and acted in Dover on next Tuesday.
They are:
General du Pont is a good and a
public-spirited citizen!
''He is loyal Republican!
''He has made an exceptionally val
liable member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee!
His friends have placed him in the
deld for reelection to that Office!
''The Republican party of his home
state needs him there!
"The Republican party of the coun-
try at large values his services and is
desirous that he be reelected.
There is a conspiracy on foot to
prevent his reelection
TT has found lodgment in all three
counties!
''Its leaders are men who have no
valid party reason for setting up a
light against him, some of them being
lctUated by personal spite, others by
political pique, and others, seemin gly,
BECAUSE they rather would see the Re- ,
publican party defeated and the Dem E
'cratic party victorious in Delaware
lext Fall!
''That conspiracy has been shatter-
ID but not destroyed by the Statewide
Of General du Points friends I
Turing the last ten days! s
''Those friends of the present Ma v
iOnal Committeeman should continue r
o fight, earnestly and uncompromis- d
ngly, until delegation to the Repub- C
ican National Convention has been o
lected which is pledged irreVocably g
o his reelection! Z
''They should urge all their friends, E
men and women, TO so out to the Re- Il
publican primaries to the State Con- S,
entiOn who are pledged to elect ma e,
iOnal delegates who are pledged in IL
urn to re-elect General du Pont as n
)elaware's representative in the Re- Ct
ublican National Committee. Nor
hould they permit themselves to be W
eceived as to the leaning of candi- of
ates for delegate to the State Con- lie
entiOn. The primary will be State r.
yide. The polls will open at p. m. te
nd close at 6 p. IN. at
"Do not permit any weekend en- W
agement to prevent the exercise of d1
UGH a high and important electoral M
lty! Sc
ELECT delegates who are favorable tn
, Coolidge for President and du Pont by
n National Committeeman and who W;
$50 are in favor of electing Republi- tn
IN State Committee which will put
lie management Of our party's affairs ly
safe and capable hands! MI
"And then, if possible, go to Dover Di
1 next Tuesday, fill the convention tai
Ill and see to it that the mandate I'll
lpressed at the polls on Saturday is All
)eyed in Dover in caucus and on the tn,
1Or of the convention! fin
"This is time in which good and tar
yal Republicans in Delaware should tn;
lcrifice all ordinary everyday af- ine
irs, rally to the support of their par ea1
., and, in April, set it on the broad of
Lth leading to a noteworthy victory the
November" ite
