Candidates For Recorder Appear-Loan
Association Meeting.
Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. March Governor BiqRs held
a levee here yesterday, that no doubt he
would have been glad to forego the pleas
ure Of, as Il was the reception OF deIega-
tions in favor of the several candidates
for the position Of recorder of deeds of
Kent county, which office becomes vacant
next Monday. Pressly Spruance OF
Smyrna will then retire from the
Office, after very efficiently filling
it. Stephen Belts OF Milford
had the largest delegation by
far here yesterday, and John H.
Bewley Of Smyrna sized up next. DIR.
Cooper Of X n on, ex State Senator, had
but a small delegation here, but they
worked for him all the same. Mr. Belts
friends pushed the argument that for
several generations the large family, of
which he is member, have worked hard
for the Democratic party, from
grandfather down, and not sin
gle one of them ever asked
for official recognition. Mr.. Bewley
is and has been a personal friend Of Gov
ernor Biggs. but he is handicapped by
the fact that he has Just vacated the
postmastership and that he lives in the
same town as the retiring recorder. DR..
Cooper may be countedout Of the race, and
even with the odds against him the medi
cation may be risked that Johh H. Bew-
ley will be appointed. There are some
mighty queer things in politics.
