REPUBLICAN LEADERS through


REPUBLICAN LEADERS through.
out the State seem to be agreed upon
Senator w. A. Simonton, of Will
mington, for President Pro TEN Of
the Senate. Developments of the
past week point to his choice by
the Republican members of the Sen
ate when they meet in caucus early
in January. Throughout the State
his selection to preside over the
upper body of the legislature will
meet with general approval. His
years of legislative duty, during
which time he has advocated many
progressive measures, and support
ed others with his vote, have made
him particularly well fitted to pre-
side over the Senate. His business
connections have given him a lib
eral viewpoint on matters of larger
interest, and his opportunities to
travel throughout the world have en-
ightened him upon problems con-
fronting not only our State but the
Nation and world. Senator Simon
ton, if made President Pro Tenn
and we believe that he will be,
will fill his Office with fairness to
his party, the minority party and
to the citizens of Delaware.
AS THE TIME FOR THE next !
session of the General Assembly
nears, the belief is growing that
Charles W. Messick, of Sussex Coun-
ty, will be the Republican caucus
choice for Speaker of the House of
Representatives Mr.. Messick has
had experience in the legislature in
the past and is well qualified to pre-
side over that branch of the Iegis-
lature. While serving as Comptrol-
Ter of Sussex County a few years
ago, Mr.. Messick attended to his
duties with fidelity and satisfaction
to the citizens generally. Should he
be the choice of the Republican
members of the House to preside at
the next session, he should give sat
isfaction. He is fair and fitted by
temperament to discharge the duties
of the office.

DANIEL O. HASTINGS, of Will
mington, has succeeded T. Coleman
du Pont as United States Senator
from Delaware. The appointment
was made by Governor Robinson on
Monday, and yesterday the newly
named Senator qualified for his seat
at Washington. Republicans through
out the State are pleased with the
appointment, and both Governor
Robinson and Senator Hastings have
been recipients of cOngratulatOry
messages upon the selection. For
the past twenty-five years Daniel o.
Hastings has been prominently in ,
the forefront of Delaware political T
life. He has served faithfully and r
well in every Office to which he has T
been appointed during this time. An i
able organizer, he is credited with r
the preliminary work which brought
the overwhelming Republican ma
jority in Delaware at the general
elections last month. Senator Hast
ings should serve both Delaware and c
the nation well during the next two d
years. The Chronicle congratulates n
him upon his elevation to the high s.
office which he now occupies.

THERE is fine art of shopping u
as everybody ought to know, and Il
three simple rules are fundamental L
first, know what you want and list al
your items before you leave home, B
your expedition may be nj
iarcial and failure. Second, know 81
where to go for what you want, al
which means a careful reading of W
he advertisements in the newspa-
)ers. Third, go after what you Ct
want as early in the shopping sea- In
on as possible and thereby tighten 70
he burden of pushing, pulling, ell 60
lowing, nerve-racking crowds. If :.
