William Dupont, formerly OF this
city and who still has large property
interests here came within an ace, OF
being elected United States senator
from Delaware the other day. As il
was he secured on last Thursday thir-
teen votes in the Delaware legislature
when fifteen would have elected him.
1t is very seldom In the life OF any man
that but two votes prevent his election
as United States senator. Mr.. tDu-
points brother Henry was finally elec-
ted, SO the plum comes within the
family. In the account given In the
New York Sun Of the voting It is stated
that William Dupont Is about 70 years
OF age: has never held public Office

Dupont powder works and u director In
RepaunO Chemical company. Mr.. Du-
points acquaintances here would have
been delighted over his election ''as
senator insomuch as he has always
manifested the deepest interest In this
city and we would then have q friend
at court who would have promoted
the ambitions OF Elk Point In the line
OF developing its latent resources.
