MILFORD, FRIDAY, JULY II, 49z'
REPUBLICANS MAY ALLOW
Sussex to name Governor" said a
headline in the Wilmington Morn
ing News on Wednesday. The story
which followed would seem to indl-
cate that the Republican State Cen
trail Committee is cOnceding the
Governorship and Congressman to
the lower county. This action, on
the part of the committee is no sur
nrise to Sussex countians-for the
feeling is so intense among the rank
and file of the party that any action
which would take the GOvernorship
to either Kent county, New Castle
county or Wilmington would invite
immediate boiling from the party
this year. The so-called, and self
designated bosses in Wilmington
know this only too well, and while
they would very much desire to take
the Governorship from lower Della
ware, their better judgment coun-
sells them against such action. Sus-
sex county Republicans know what
they want this year, and they Will
settle the Gubernatorial choice
themselves at the regularly const1-
tuted party primaries. The Sussex
Republicans who can win the ma
iority of the delegates after a fair
fight in the primaries is entitled to
the northumberland the leaders in
Wilmington and elsewhere will not
dare go behind such action. Too
much is at stake at this time to do
otherwise. Let Sussex fight her
own battle, and the losing faction
or candidate has NO reason to bolt
or create trouble later on.

THE KENT & SUSSEX FAIR
opened for the 1928 season on Tues
day with the largest first day at
tendance in its history. This indi-
Gates a growing interest in Della
wares only fair and points to the !
need of the annual display The !
fair this year is greatly enlarged |
over previous years. The poultry |
displays are of interest to both /
poultrymen and persons who know !
nothing of the poultry and egg in !
dustry. The livestock exhibits show
clearly that Delaware can produce
as fine swine, cattle and other live
stock as is grown anywhere, pro-
vided proper application of modern
feeding and breeding methods are
followed. The lovers of hOrse-rac-
ing are finding real enjoyment as
they watch their favorites driven
about the track. For those pleasure
inclined the carnival shows and
amusement devices provide ample
entertainment. The fair is worthy
of the support which it apparently
receives, both financially and NOR
ally, by lower Delawareans. Its di-
rectors are to be congratulated upon
it's accomplishments.

THE REPUBLICANS of Sussex
county have one demand in common
to ask of the next State Convention,
and that is, Sussex must be given
her just dues in ALLEGATION of the
leading part of the State ticket. 1t is
not the individual who shall be the
candidate, so much as the fact that
whoever the candidate for Governor -
Of Delaware may be by the Republi-
can Party, he must be from Sussex. y
There are a number of Republicans
who could fill the Office with credit .

with understanding, interest in the

most impressive, that in the present -.

will have to work and vote in loyal =
support of the ticket nominated, for u

here is no need for discord, and all =.
