Milford, Friday, October 20, 1914
EIGHTEEN DAYS from today
the voters of the Nation will elect
new President of the United
States. They will elect full mem
bership to the House of Represen-
tatives and one-third of the menu
bership of the United States SEN
ate. Voters in Delaware will elect
a Governor, many State officials,
a complete new membership of the
House of Representatives and a
number of State Senators. Not
within the memory of living Amer
leans have more vital problems
confronted our Nation and State.
Not within memory of living men
and women have such opportunities
to again bring our Nation back
within the path of clear thinking
and honest government administra-
ton been presented to them. In
National politics and administra-
ton affairs we need a change. The
tired old ROoseveltian machine is
creaking and faltering as affairs of
State founder through continued
inter-departmental squabbling. The
war effort is handicapped and a
dismal future confronts us should
four more years of continuance in
office be given to the New Deal
Sidney Hillman-Earl BrOwder
crowd now in the saddle.
In Delaware the voters are pre-
scented with an efficient State man
agement. which. under the leader
ship of Governor Walter w. Bacon,
has given our people an honest,
economical and efficient admins
tration. Walter Bacon. who seeks
reelection, knows the news of
Delaware and it's people. He has
given full time to the administra-
ton of his office. He has worked
harmonously with the Legislative
Branch of our State Government
with the result that Delaware has
been able to build up a surplus
with which to tide over the recon-
version period which must of ne
cessity follow the close of this
war. With only one Senator TO elect
to retain control of the State Sen
ate, Republican voters in the
Fourth Senatorial District of Sus-
sex county have an opportunity to
assure Republican control of that
branch. by the election of Harvey
II. Lawson of MillsborO. Mr.. Law
son has had Legislative experience.
having been a member of the last
Session of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He represented his dis
trict and State well two years ago,
and there is . every reason to be-
lieve that he will function we'll as
Il State Senator.
For Lieutenant-Govern Clay
ton A. Bunting. a Sussex countian.
has had extensive experience in
legislative and administrative af
fairs. He acquitted himself well
as President Pro Tenn of the Sen
ate at the last session. and it was
largely through his efforts that l
a harmonious session was success
fully carried through. The candi-
dates for State Treasurer, John S.
Isaacs, and for Auditor of Ac- {
counts. ]. Morris Harrington. have
just completed two years of very j
administration of their Of :
fee. The honesty. integrity and O
devotion to his duties as Congress u
man of Earle D. Wiley are so well c
known that every poll in lower =
Delaware shows him running far +
ahead of his rival. Delaware will C
10 we'll to return him to Wash I
ngton, where men of his calibre =
ire badly needed at this time. 7
Delaware voters must not fail il
heir Nation and State this year v
Election of Thomas E. Dewey as :
President and the return of Repub- n
lean control of affairs in Della S
