The decision of State Chairman ol
the Republican Committee, Ebe H
Chandler, recently announced, that
he would be forced to resign to at
I tend to his own private business in
terests is being received with pro-
tests from all over the State. Mr..
Chandler has made an enviable rec
ord in the position which he took
over two years ago. All who know
him agree that his work has been
done at a personal sacrifice. He is a
PARTNER with Mir. Wilson McCabe in
poultry feed business which the
two built up into large proportions
from very small beginnings. His bus
mess which is located In Dagshoro,
in the heart of the broiler raising
business is a prosperous one but one
which requires personal attention.
Mr.. Chandler mas lost considerable
money by acting as the head OF the
Republican party. HIS friends real
ize that he cannot continue to ne
gleet his business. On the other hand
they are wondering if there is not
some method which can be arrang-
ed whereby he could not continue as
the active head of The party but with
subordinates who would do the trav-
cling and detail work and leave him
free for his own affairs. 1t is ac-
knowledged up and down the State
that he should remain as Chairman
of the State Committee.
o.
He has done wonderful work in
his position. The election Of 1888
showed the results. EIr. Chandler is
affable, charry of promises but sure
to keep them if he makes them. He
is a good mixer, is recognized as
honest and fair and has a native
ability at politics and life long ac-
quantanceship with political affairs
that makes him invaluable. DE has
filled all the positions and knows
what it is all about. He has worked
as a district worker. then as a dis
trict leader, then as a county leader
and now is in his prime as a State
leader. Something should be done
about it to keep him in the saddle.
He personally made the Sussex
county victory possible. and had
much to do with the Kent county
harmony program. In New Castle
his advice was always good and in
the final decisions he seemed TO
know the right answers. He is just
we'll enough acquainted with condi-
ions of today to make sure of
1910 victory. Without him, 1t is not
10 sure and so if the Republican
)arty wants to carry Delaware and
.lect a Governor and a United States
Senator in 1910, means had better
,e arranged to keep him in the po- ,
itiOn as chairman. We have no idea
# how Mr.. Chandler could be given ,
more time for his business and still
.eep the guiding hand on the tiller ,
# the Republican ship, but we be- Z
ieve it could be done if he had COM ,
etent helpers in different parts of !
he State. selected by himself in con-
erenee with the county, leaders Z
elpers who should be paid salaries. :
nd who would be ready at attention :
D carry out the plans of Mr.. Chand- r
ar at any time, day or night. Per- :
APPS that method would convince
i'm that he could continue his job.
nyway. something should be done +.
)r everywhere. up and down the ;,
tate and in every section, all we +
ear is-that Chandler must be con- i
nued.

The members of the Republican +
legislature should not be expected r
, do anything else but refuse to 7
)nfirm many of the nominations q
ade previously by Governor Nc !,
ullen. The majority of votes given
Y the taxpayers and voters to the :
ticket was plainly a re- =
of the former acts Of the \
administration. 1t was a )
lain mandate from the voters to z
lose elected to refuse confirmation
