there are three times the number OF

The Welfare Commission fears II
will rise much higher this winter
Aren't these happy days" and DEM
ocratic times? When is it all going
to stop? After nearly six years, re-
lief is continuing to grow higher If
the team doesn't win isn't it about
time to change managers?
Harry Johnson, WPA worker of
Georgetown. is the latest to go and
I join Wheatley of Seaford and the
other good Democrats who were too
good to suit some of the factions
When is the purge" among Demo-
cratic job holders in Delaware going
to cease? A man holding a Demo
crat job has more to fear from his
brother Democrats than he has from
the Republicans.
If you were on. the boardwalk
Sunday night when the Democrat
factions were pretending to make a
harmony slate, you were bound to
notice the open conferences and the
walking arm in arm between former
Republicans and the members of the
Tunnell faction. They we're working
hand in hand in an effort to hamper
the Baker Democrats. 1t was plain
ly evident that the tie up between
the Coalitionists of the last election
was stronger than ever. Harmony
of the Coalition kind seems to be
thoroughly understood at this time.
The Sussex County Committee has
finally marked out its course and vo-
ters can follow or refuse in Sussex
county. A resolution was a tre-
mendous -wallop and II was unani-
mously passed. It puts the commit
tee on record as hereafter using
their forgotten righGs-that of pass

who have slapped the Republican 1
party in the face and voted other
tickets consistently from being al
lowed to sit on Republican commit
tees, and have a hand in debating Il
affairs. The campaign 4
is now in the open. Let us put our
shoulders to the wheel. The boys
who count are saying "Better to be
defeated honorably than to win an
victory for your enemies
dishonorabIy." That seems TO ne the
spirit of Sussex County Republicans
this year. That is, the real Republi-
cans. \.
Republican leaders who are in
close touch with the workers and
voters throughout the State. tell us
hat the party is in splendid shape
in both Kent and New Castle coun-
les, probably the best in some years.
sussex is harrassed by all sorts Of
rumors and all sorts of attempted
Individual leadership but is slowly
coming into shape and after the

Probably the most remarkable
ONE back made In the Republican
anlks this year is the unity and the A
,urpose of the Kent county voters.
Gent county is on its way and may 3
urprise the State when it hands
mt Republican majority at this
lection. A united front some years s

arness did that very trick.
Peaches and cream, with good
