THROUGH REPUBLICAN EYES

Jim Wise, our detective-politico-
writer-auditor, has recently come out
with another "splurge" about every
thing being bought in the state and
business not being done outside OF
the state. That must be a new idea
at least Doc seems to think so and
wants the public to believe II is a
wonderful Democratic invention. Let
us look around US and see what bus
iness is it of his anyway. Is he the
head of all the other departments? I?
How about the Pennsylvania and
Maryland girls and boys who have
nearly all the teaching jobs in Della
ware? They get their training here
and then go to better jobs in other
states. How about his Democratic
brothers in the national administra-
tiOn? At various places new post
Offices are being built and all of the
work is done by out-Of-state contrac-
tors. All the equipment comes from
out of the state and even the laying
of the concrete sidewalks are done
by Out-Of-state men. At the Indian
River Inlet and at Silver Lake down
the state. the work was all done by
a New Jersey contracting firm and
inlet jetties are being done by an out
of state company. The dredging is
being done by a New Jersey dredger
and even the large stones are being
brought from Maryland instead of
the Delaware Quaries. How about
telling his Democratic brothers who
control all this work now, that state
men should be favored and materials
should be bought here. II sounds
like a re-hash of the promises made
before the last election by the Demo-
cratic campaign speakers.

Every district in Delaware shall !
control its own fortunes in the Re !
publican party is the pronOuncement |
of State Chairman Ebe Chandler that |
is bringing about strength through |
out the state. The chairman wants /
all difficulties settled in each district
and insists that the voters of the
Republican party in each of those
districts shall conduct their own
and elect their own dele
gates and committees without dieta-
ton from any one. The only thing
he offers is help from the state COM
mittee in winning the next election.
thing which he has said,
called our attention fOrcibly to some
thing that should have been set in
force long ago. He declares that this
talk about some one or another can
didate or applicant for a position not
being fitted for the place by exper-
ience is a lot of "hOOey". He de-
clares that any man or group Of men
who are able to carry their own dis
trict for their party has plainly
shown that if he is big enough to
bring about a victory he is big
enough and has the ability to hold
down the job he is aiming for. BY
their works you shall know them"
is going to be his motto. Is they
can carry their district, they shall
be consulted. That is fair enough.
While he wants the voters in a dis
trict to settle their own arguments
outside interference, he also |
stresses the fact that the RESPONSE I
bility is on them. If by their ac-
tions they lose their districts and
show a small vote. than they have '
in the past, then those leaders and [
groups of voters will be held respOn- q
sible and other groups will have to '
take over the job to produce win
ming district That is also fair
enough. This attitude Of our chair {
man is bringing about harmony and I
the prospect of victory throughout |
the state. I
