MILFORD, FRIDAY, NOV. 9, 1928

THE RESULTS OF THE ELEt
TION last Tuesday were astoundir
to the most optimistic of politics
partizans. 1t was wonderful
think how the people of the enti1
United States were aroused, and thi
forty millions of men and wome
stormed the polls to deposit thei
ballots, to make emphatic their de
sires and opinions as to which o
the two parties and what they STAN
for, shall represent their govern
ment in nation, state and local adj
ministration of the laws, as well as
public policies with the world.
The false issues circulated among
the people and attacks on prohibi-
tiOn laws and the Eighteenth
Amendment to the National Consti-
tuition, served to arouse the people
of Delaware to a degree never be-
fore known, with the result that
men and women dropped partizan
politics, and voted for the whole
Republican ticket. There can be no
doubt as to how Delaware stands on
prohibition. Senator elect John
Townsend and Congressman R. G.
Houston stand as unusually well
known prohibitionists, while the
state ticket as well as members of
the legislature, are loyal to the law.
The Republican victory at the
polls in Delaware last Tuesday is
more than party victory. 1t is a
verdict and instruction on the part |
of those who desire law observance
that the officials in the diamond
state shall rigidly enforce laws as
now in force. Persons who in the
past have stood loyalty for the
Democratic party in Delaware, left
it for the first time, because of the
of its candidates on the
liquor and other questions now
confronting the people. These Dem
Ocrats are just as much pleased as
are the Republicans at the result
registered at the polls on Tuesday.
sentiment is dry; this was
fully demonstrated by the voters. 1t
will be long time before any party
will again nominate wet candidates
in Delaware.

LET IT BE REMEMBERED that
the Republican victory at the cleo
lions last Tuesday in Delaware, was
4 direct result of the united support
Of the Republicans of all factions,
for the tickets as named by the con-
7entiOn and primary elections held
by the Republicans of this State. =

here was absolute 100 per cent 10y
u support and real action for the {

'arnest action was a direct result of +

made by Ex-senator I. D. Short, of t
