The next Democratic Convention will
be held, by rule, at Somerset. There
was time when the Democracy met at
Rehoboth because they could not meet
any where else and nonpromised by
agreeing to alternate sessions of their
annual conventions in Somerset and
Lexington.
This is the year it belongs to Somer-
set. From the tone of the Democracy
in this region if this is not done there
is fun ahead.
