One of the basic principles OF
our State Government is the re-
quirement that it conform, moral
ly as well as legally, to our State
Constitution. We believe that the
Democrat-controlled 118th Gener-
al Assembly has not adhered, eth
ically, to this principle-that in
its grasp for political and selfish
gain through the immoral device
of ripperism, the controlling ele-
ment in this 118th General As
sembly has caused serious dam
age to the State Government.
The Republican Party in Della
ware earnestly asks for the op-
portunity to repair this damage.
Just as we pledge ourselves to
restore ethics in State Govern
ment by strict adherence to the
high moral standards implied in
the State Constitution, we also
pledge ourselves to support con-
scientiously the orderly, stable
functions of our State Govern
ment, including Civil Service. We
promise an end to ripperism, pre-
judice, and selfish interest. We
promise positive action on these
matters which concern the well
fare of every Delaware citizen:

Newport Plan; use of bridge tolls
