THROUGH REPUBLICAN EYES
The chief political topic among
Republicans at present is the heal
ing of the split between Republican
factions in Kent county with its
consequent repurcussiOns among the
Republicans of Sussex. 1t is under
stood among many, that the chief ac-
tor in the entire play was that wise
old political bird, former United
! States Senator Alice. Senator Alice
has been through such healing
methods as are being used this time
! in his political history. 1t was such
methods as are being used in Kent
that we're used formerly when the
Union and Regular Republicans
stopped their warning and combined
to take the State away from the
Democrats. The knowledge he gain
ed at that time is being used elec-
lively this time. With the wise coun-
sells of Senator Alice and the en-
thusiasm and work of his son, jim,
Henry Hazel, former Governor Dem
ney. Alonzo Jones, James Moore.
Ben Simmons, Bill Storey, Duhy
Wharton, Morris Harrington, Chas.
Ridgely. Warren Moore and the rest
of the crowd, there is every reason
to believe that the Republicans will
take Kent county at this election as
they did twenty years ago.
Once again the Democrat politi-
clans showed their hand when last
week they advanced on the non-nar-
tisan State Highway Commission
and demanded jobs for the Demo-
Gratis. When the State Highway
Commission was created, in order 10
keen it out of politics it was set up
with TWO Republicans, two Demo-
Gratis and the Governor. In the past,
perhaps, some one member probably
was privately urged TO see that some
one was given a job; but this year
is the first time in the history OF the
State that Democratic meetings
passed resolutions and even named
men to be appointed. Now, when
their former petition was ignored
the Tunnel faction in Sussex county
appeared brazingly and boldly in
crowd and demanded the spoils" for
deserving unemployed men? On, no!
Deserving Democrats? Oh, no! What
did they want, then? They wanted
iohs for their kind of a Democrat,
whether he was deserving, whether
he was unemployed, whether he was
capable. None of that for them' they
lust wanted jobs for members OF
their faction so they could bulld II
IN 10 such an extent that they
could strangle off any other Demo-
Gratis who wanted to be heard. we
have never before heard of anything
quite so bold and open to place oe-
fore intelligent voters and tax pay
ers of this State.

reasonably predict it will be ironed

that party are going to nominate

going TO endorse, nor do they want
any endorsement, from any waVer-
ing line of Flip floppers" that are
here today and gone tomorrow. we
still believe there will be the tickets
of the two major parties in the field
