Speaker John Garner for Vice Pres
ident. These are able men and will
if elected, give to the people of th'
United States a safe administration
1t is a well balanced ticket. Cover
nor Roosevelt from New York anC
Speaker Garner from Texas gives tt
both the north and south fair rep
resentation.
Ex-Governor Smith should fee
ashamed of himself, AMI the only
way he can redeem himself is tC
take his coat off and work for the
success of the ticket. De-. ....s,
The platform adopted is in many
ways admirable. The prohibition
question should have been left as
the platform committee wanted it.
Under the direction of Ex-Governor
Smith, Senator Walsh and Governor
Joseph B. Ely, of Massachusetts and
others, the convention went too far
when it passed a plank calling for
the utter repeal of the 18th Amend
ment.
This will drive away those con-
servative dry people who otherwise
would have supported the ticket.
We will pass this for the present
and leave it for future communi-
cation.
Very little is now being heard of
the different candidates for the Of
flee of Governor on the Democratic
ticketWe will say this much you
will need the best man the Demo-
cratic party has to beat Governor
Buck if ne is the nominee on the
Republican ticket.
For Congress we still keep the
name of John Biggs, Jr., nailed to
the masthead.
REPUBLICAN
Hoover and Curtis seem to be able
to draw to their aid all the rank and
file of the Republican party. While
a few of the Independent will des-
ert, yet when election day rolls
around the bulk of the Republicans
will support Hoover and Curtis.
The office of Governor seems
somewhat mixed. The entrance of
'GONGl hui DuCh WI AclJ 10 INV IL
the ring has complicated matters.
Governor Buck has filled the Office
in such an able manner it will be a
hard matter to wrest the nomina-
tion from him. Dolphus Short, the
other candidate, has some following,
especially in Sussex county. With
the aid of Alice of Kent and Eli
son of New Castle he may be able
to win the nomination when the
next Republican State Convention
meets. It will be fight to the fin
ish between the two candidates.
For Congress very little is being
said. Robert G. Houston, the pres
ent Congressman, which faction is
he training with at the present
time? Some say he will be offered
the nomination for Attorney Gener-
al on the Republican ticket if he
will abandon seeking the Office of
at large.
-.s THE FOURTH OF JULY
The Fourth of July was celebrat-
ed in Ellendale in a very quiet
manner ;outside of a few flags
which were displayed there was no
other signs which would have con-
vinced people that really the fourth
was here. People have not that pa
triotism that used to stir mems
hearts in the old days. The spirit of
76 should prevail in these days and
we should teach our children to re-
gard the 4th of July as one of those
days which should be sacredly kept.
Independence Day should be re-
in such way as to bring
to their minds what happened and
what it means to the people of the
United States the things which oc-
CURED on the 4th of July many
years ago. 49,
