of making out full county ticket There

Every hundred in the county was repre-
scented except West Dover, Mispillion and

In the afternoon, when the committee
ON nominations reported ticket on
which was the name OF q candidate of
each Of the two other parties for the Leg
islature, one Republican and the other
Democrat, the Rev, J. A. B Wilson was
on his feet and moved to strike ont from
the list the names OF sll who had accepted
nominations on the other tickets. Mr..
Wilson said the liquor traffic ''can never
be licensed without vice." and whether
high or low the principle ia
the same. We are standing for
great fundamental principle and
can afford TO make no compromise with
anybody in order to win cheap and
early victory. We ought to be true to
our principles and Gods time for their
triumphs. We recognize the fact that in
the old parties there are hundreds of
thousands of honest temperance men
who hate the liquor traffic and desire to
..~nh,k1st.l axk
the principles as we; they dif1r from us
radically as TO method however. This
meeting and party respects o distinct
method of prohibition and should put no
one on the ticket not fully committed to
its doctrine. At the conclusion Of his
address the motion to strike out the
names prevailed, after which the follow
ing ticket was nominated:
For State Senator-Richard N. Cooper.
