Reports From BayshOre Town Are
That Leaders Are Working
Hard For Entire Ticket.
DR.. BURTON FOR DU POINT
Former Congressman Urges :His
Election To The United States
Senate Next Month.

Republicans in the vicinity Oi
Lewes are solidly behind the entire
Republican ticket as nominated. This
is indicated by interviews given a ce-
porter this week, by men who fol-
years have been prominent Republi-
cans in Lewes and Rehoboth Hun
dred.
DR.. Hiram Burton, former Con-
gressman, is quoted as follows:
ANY hOnors that the State Of Del
aware has to confer ought to be con-
ferred on such men as Coleman du
Pont
IF I could afford it 1 would not do
anything else between this morning
and election day but go all through
this county and ask people to rectify
the mistake Of two years ago when
Coleman du Pont was defeated. AS it
is I shall devote all the spare time l
can working for T. G.. and the whole
Republican ticket.
Coleman du POnt gave boule-
ward to this state with no idea OF
receiving political compensation.
During all the years when people
were fighting and rejecting his road
offer 1 don't believe he had political
aspirations. He persisted and lived
to see his road accepted and praised
throughout the country. If Cole
man du Pont had not led the way,
in nv opinion, we would not have
today a mile of concrete road in
Kent and Sussex counties. I'm talk
ing that everywhere because every
one knows what concrete roads
have done for the material advance
ment of these counties.
"The Tenth District is fairly even
on election day, but this year be-
lieve it will go Republican. | know OF
no leading Republican here who is
working against the ticket. l be-
lieve Sussex county will give Cole
man du Pont a substantial major
ity."
Charles II. AIaull, S3-year-old Re
publican veteran and a former State
Commissioner of Banking and In
surance. was equally as optimistic
in expressing his satisfaction over
Republican harmony and prospects
of victory. He said:
Everything is harmonious. Every
Republican I know will vote the
straight Republican ticket. We are
all back of T. C. and working to see
every man on the ticket elected. Two
years ago we found some Republ1-
can farmers would not support the
ticket because they claimed their
taxes had been increased. 1 believe
we have shown these voters that
where tax increases have occurred
they have been justified and that
taxpayers have received full value
for the sums levied and collected.
These men will be found all right
this time, believe, and by all right

lie school will also be in the line of
march.
The public reception and enter
tainment will consist of an address
of welcome by the mayor, DR.. 3. H.
F. Farlow, which will be responded
to by some prominent member of the
order from the northern part of the
state; selections by the Laurel fire
mems band and public school fife
and drum corps, saxOphone solo by
Prof. Snyder; songs, exercises and
addresses.
Representative from the Great
Council of the order in the United
States will also be present and ad

Rossakatum Tribe, No. Is, of Lau-
rel, the largest tribe in lower Della
ware, will be the host to the visit
ing Red Men and as it has been %
years since the Great Council held
its annual meeting in that town the
members and committees are putting
forth every effort to make the event
a great success and to extend the
Red Men the hospitality that
is characteristic of the people of
Laurel.

7. Coleman du POnt Spoke OF Saw
ings Made By Republicans
In State And Nation.
DEMOCRATS SPENT MORE
The Last Legislature Appropriated
$2,OOO,OOO More Than Cover
nor Recommended In Budget.

An enthusiastic meeting of Repub-
licans was held at MillwoOd, two
miles north of Milford, last Friday
evening with a large attendance.
Those who spoke were General T.
Coleman du POnt, candidate for Sen
atOT; Mrs. William K du POnt, ma
tiOnal committeewOman from Della
ware; Robert G. Houston, J. Hall
Anderson, Mrs. Jeanette Eckman,
vice-chairman Of the Republican
State Committee, and Robert K.
Jones, chairman of the Kent County
Committee. Mrs. Frank Hall Davis,
Vice-chairman of the Kent County
Committee, presided and Mrs. Eliz-
abeth M. Nutter, county committee
woman, was in charge of the ar
rangements.
After a solo by Mrs. Davis, Gen
eral du POnt discussed national and
state issues. He stressed the need
for economy in both nation and
state, referred to the fact that poll
cies of the present national admins
tratiOn were saving the people ap-
proximately $1,000,000 an hour and
read an extract from Governor Den
ney's speech of last ednesday which
showed that the Democratic legisla-
ture had overriden Governor Den
ney's speech last Wednesday which
fed in the budget transmitted to the
General Assembly, by appropriations
totaling over S1000,000 in excess of
actual state requirements set forth
by the Governor.
Mrs. William K. du Pont, the next
speaker, devoted herself to a con-
sideration of the woman's part in
the present campaign. She referred
to the issues of the present candi-
dates, the direct and indirect inhu-
ence of women in politics and urged
that every Republican woman should
register and vote.
Robert G. Houston, candidate for
Congress, discussed national and
state issues and was followed by J.
Hall Anderson, candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, who emphasized
two points of Importance, the first
Of which was the false claims of the
Democrats to economy in state gov
He stated that the last
Democratic Assembly had exceeded
the budget prepared by Republican (
governor by over $1,OOO0OO and had 4
more money than any
other legislature in the history of
the state.
Mr.. Anderson then referred to the
false propaganda which was being
spread by the Democrats to the eff
feet that if the Republican ticket
was elected, they proposed to en-
bark on an extensive school building
which would result in in
creased taxation. Referring to the
present school law as the best in
the country, Mr.. Anderson called at
tention to the fact that the rate of
twenty-five cents on land is the low
est of any state in the union and
went on record as saying that if
elected Lieutenant Governor and
his vote was required on the meas
ure to increase that tax he would
vote mo"
After the meeting, refreshments
Of ice cream and cake were served.
General du Pont spent the night in
Milford, continuing his trip down
state Saturday morning.

the Dental Society of Delaware at
the Caulk Dental Research Build
ing. At this place the visiting doc
tors were shown of the modern
methods used in the research work
by the Caulk Company. The fine new
buildings were inspected. The guests
were amazed at the modern facili-
ties and equipment used in the lab
oratories here, and favorable COM
ment was heard on all sides. The
large majority of those in attend
ance did not know that such an in
stitution was located in Milford.
At the meeting on Tuesday even
ing addresses were made by men at
the head of the different depart
ments of the Caulk Company. Dr.
Paul Poetchke spoke on "The Pres
ent Status of Dental and Medical
knowledge Concerning Oral Infec-
tions," and on Scientific Research

on diseases of the mind and dis
cussed this subject at length. Dr.. |
Joseph BringhuTst, of FELTON,, and |
Dr.. A. T. Davis Of Dover, were |
among those who read papers at .
this meeting. The papers were large
ly Of a professional nature which

Men FINED FOR
KILLING RACCOONS

Deputy Game Warden E. ]. Boggs
on Monday preferred charges
against three men who he claimed
had been hunting "coons' out of sea-
son, and against whom he presented
evidence when the cases were heard
before Justice of the Peace Truitt in
Milford this week. Boggs has been
in the vicinity of Milford securing
evidence for several days, but he
was unknown to the coon hunters.
On Monday he went to the farm of
Edwin Short, in Milford Neck, where
he inquired for good coon dogs. In
the course of the conversation Short
is said to have told him that he had
two coons recently killed. The skins
were shown him, after which the
game warden made himself known.
Before Magistrate Truitt Mr.. Short
pleaded guilty to the charge and
was fined $4,000 and costs.
BOggs also swore. out warrants for
the arrest of Ernest Jewell and Ira
Wiley, both of near Owens Station.
The cases were heard on Tuesday
Jewell pleaded guilty to the charge
of killing one coon and was fined
$1,000 and costs. Wiley plead not
guilty, and as the warden did not
present sufficient evidence to war
rant his conviction the case against
him was discharged, The arrest of
the coon hunters has caused much
comment in the rural sections here
abouts. To a large portion of the
residents it was not known that
raccoon is protected by the game
laws of the state, and the arrests of
the men above named was the first
inkling to large numbers OF people
that coons could not be hunted.
