LEWES REPUBLICANS
A Unit In BACKING
OF STATE TICKET
CONTINUED from first page)

I mean voting the straight Republi-
can ticket"
DR.. William P. Orr, a leading
physician and former president Ol
the State Board of Health, gave full
assurance Of Republican success.
"While l am not a politician" he
said. Il am staunch Republican
AS far as this end of the State is
concerned we are for the whole
ticket. 1 don't know a single dissat-
isfied Republican in this locality. l
don't even know a kicker in the dis
trict. We are united back of the
whole ticket. We read that La Fol
lette is making inrOads in other
parts of the country, but I don't
know a single voter here who will
vote for him"
From a sick bed Captain Harry V.
Lyons, the genial president of the
Delaware Board of Pilots, radiated
cheerful assurance of Republican
gains. Mr.. Lyons is the natural par
tv leader of his hundred and num-
bers his friends, political and per-
sonal, throughout the State by thOus-
ands.
"The situation is splendid" he
said. "and is improving daily. We
are pulling together as never be-
fore. There is no La Toilette senti-
ment in this district. If the election
were held today there would be
nothing to it. The primaries left no
sore spots. have never seen our
voters more united than they are
today. And the most remarkable
thing is that all of us are 100 per
cent back of the whole ticket.
"I am informed that the Demo-
cratic primaries did leave sore spots,
and that they are whetting their
knives. This will also rebound to
our advantage. But you can't make it
too strong that all Republicans in
this hundred will vote for the Cole
man du Pont down to our candi-
dates for Levy Court Commissioner
and Representative at Dover. III
the Republican ticket is in as good !
shape everywhere as it is here the |
election is as good as won"
Marshall P. HazzOrd, member OF
the Republican County Committee |
from the Second Election District OF |
the Tenth Representative District,
came down to facts and figures
when discussing the advantage bis
party now enjoys locally.
Take my own district" he said
"On the last registration day there
were registered 296 voters. Of this
number the Democratic leaders con-
cede that 200 were Republican, and
we claim 206. We are i'll the best
shape I have ever known us to be.
While there has been some faction
al feeling in former years this year
we have come together and elimina-
ted factions. We are united back OF
the whole ticket"
There are rumOrs around town
that on the last registration day
some of the Democratic workers
were apathetic with the result that
the Democratic registration is much
lower than two years ago. Well-in-
formed persons ascribe this condl- (
ion to the failure of Democratic wo- !
men to register Unless the Demo- :
Gratis pile up an unusually heavy :
