He also suggested that since
keenan, received ga per cent of
the votes cast lit is reasonable to
figure larger turnout would have
resulted in even a greater ma
jority for the Republican candi-
date"
Support for the Boggs' program
was also seen in the election re-
suit by former 1t Gov. John w.
Rollins of Lewes. He said:
Il want to congratulate Mr.. Kee-
nan on his victory and the Repub-
lican organization on the size of
the victory. The people of the Third
Representative District in Wilm-
mington obviously want good gov
ernment. They have publicly made
known their support for Governor
Boggs' governmental reform pro-
gram which was Mr.. Keenan's
platform"
In the absence of Democratic
City Chairman James L. Latchum,
who was out of the city yesterday,
the Democratic Party workers
were critical of their colleagues
in the Seventh Ward and those
seven districts of the Fifth Ward
involved in the election. They, too,
noted that IL districts carried by
the Democratic candidate for state
representative in 1858 were lost
Saturday, and that the Democrats
lost their candidates home dis
trict, the 18th election district of
the Seventh Ward.
Some Democrats said the Demo-
cratic organization just failed to
function.
Among the 1O,425 registered vot-
ers who had the opportunity to
exercise their right to vote Satur-
day were 4,262 Republicans, 3,273
Democrats, and 1880 declines"
A Democrat said an analysis
will be made of the election records
to see how many of the voters in
each category came out and voted.
The figures are expected to show
whether or not the Fifth and
Seventh Ward Democratic organi-
cations fell down on their jobs, as
some Democrats think, by failing
to get the Democratic registrants
to the polling places.
The results will be compared,
district by district, with those of
1853, when the Republican candi-
date won with 55 per cent of the
1852 votes cast. The Republican
got 4,413 and the Democrat, 1889.
The Republican was the late Rep.
Harry G. Lawson. whose death
left the vacancy filled by the spe-
cial election. The result means the
political division in the House OF
Representatives will be unchanged
-26 Democrats and nine Republi-
cans.

Christmas Message

into the new year the same spirit
that prevails during the Christmas
season."
Quoting from writer Charles
Dickens, the chief executive point
ed out that Christmas is "the only
time when men and women
seem by one consent to open their
hearts =. freely"
In conclusion, Governor Boggs
wished everyone"a most joyous
Christmas" and expressed the hope
that God bless you everyone"
The complete text of Governor
Boggs' message follows:
."Once again it is my privilege
to extend seasons greetings to the
people of Delaware.
"The many problems that have
confronted us during the year are
set aside as with an open heart we
look forward to the great anniver-
sary which all Christians will OBJ
serve on December 25. On every
side can be seen evidence of the
efforts of our people to make
Christmas more joyous occasion
for everyone.
"Our thoughts dwell upon our
festooned homes, our families, our
friends. Remembered, too, are those
less fortunate, particularly children
for whom Christmas should have
special meaning.
"Our thoughts, too, turn to our
religion and the services commem-
Grating the birth of Christ-that
miraculous event of long ago that
continues to exert a great moral
influence on all those who truly
seek Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men,"
'In keeping with the teachings
of Christ let us strive to work and
live together in harmony and JUS
tice, and to carry over into the
new year the same spirit that pre-
walls during the Christmas sea-
son.
Charles Dickens most elo-
quently described the Yuletide
spirit when he described Christ
mas as "a good time; a kind, for
giving, charitable, pleasant time;
the only time l know of, in the
long calendar of the year, when
men and women seem by one con-
sent to open their hearts 8. free
Iy.'
cit is in the spirit of this most
significant of events that j wish
each and every Delawarean a most
joyous Christmas and in the words
of Tiny Tim God bless you every
