John Edward Addicks and Senator J. Frank Allee are planning to renominate John Hunn as the Republican candidate for Governor of Delaware. William Michael Byrne fears that this will mean the Democrats will win the gubernatorial election and carry the state in national elections. He believes this could be avoided with a neutral candidate, such as Attorney General Herbert H. Ward. Byrne would like President Roosevelt to help the situation by calling for a “middle course” in Delaware. Byrne concludes with a discussion of his upcoming transfer or resignation.
