THE CAMPAIGN is about ended
Next Tuesday the voters of Della
ware and the Nation will in tn
American way decide the issue
which have been so ardently pre-
sented by both parties. The Ma
tional campaign has been a bite
one, with feelings reaching thu
boiling point. Here in Delawar,
the local issues have been discuss
ed by the Republican party will
an honest desire to enlighten sOul
citizens. The mud singing has
been left to the Democrat orators
and they have obliged hand
somely. The Republican party has
stood sOlidly on its record. and is
asking the continuance of control
of all three counties purely on its
demonstrated ability to govern hon
estly and fairly.
Governor Walter W. Bacon has
spoken in all parts of our state.
He has presented his program full
ly and in a convincing manner He
has no apologies to offer for his
four years of very successful state
administration. His is a record of
accomplishment such as has been
unequalled in Delaware within our
memory. He has been a full time
Governor. He has worked tireless-
ly for the betterment of our state
and for the welfare of our people.
1t is with poor grace that the Dem
ocrats have leveled their guns at
him with the false accusation that
it is he who has made it impossible
for many of our soldiers to vote.
Every Democratic campaign speak
er of any prominence knows that
Under our State Constitution a man
or woman must register in person
to be eligible to vote. These same
Democratic speakers know that
they are classifying the,record when
they say that Governor Bacon. or
any other man. could make il poss-
ible to lawfully enact any legisla-
ton which would accomplish this
much desired result in time for our
elections this year. The Democratic
orators know this. and it is IA cheap
effort to befuddle the issue and
confuse the voter when they draw
this red herring across the politi-
cal scene at this time II was Gov
ernor Bacon who called the Gen
eral Assembly in special session
this summer to enact legislation
which made it possible for those ;
who are registered to vote

ing every day in all three counties
in good substantial numbers. This {
