Special Dispatch Evening Journal.
Kenton, Nov. 81. n. Mills and tbs
Regular Republicans are working
nobly for the Democrats in this dis
trict. and the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket is more than assured. Mr..
Mills has instructed his friends to take
no halfway measures in dealing with
the Addicksites, but to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, from Handy
down. There is much hard feeling
among the Addicks people, and they
have practically given up the fight.

LITTLE CREEK DOING NOBLY.
Special Dispatch Evening Journal.
Laurel, Nov. S.-This is a heated po-
litical controversy, but thus far there
has been little or no trouble. The
workers on both sides are exerting
themselves to the utmost TO get out a
full vote There is no place >in Sus-
sex county where PARTISAN feeling runs
higher than here hut the cool heads OF
both parties appear to be In control
and no serious trouble is likely 70 oc-
cur. Every Democrat registered viii
be voted. Further than that, Regular
Republicans in this section are voting
the Democratic ticket, and little oppor-
tunity IS given the Addicksites TO use
money to influence the election. There
is apparently greater bitterness be-
tween the Regular Republicans and
Addiclzsites than between them ana
the Democrats. AS a matter OF fact
the Regular Republicans, notwlth-
stand the pledges given by Chairman
Robert G. Houston, are working as
earnestly for the defeat of the Addicks
ticket as the Democrats are. George
E. Smith and other former Higgins
men are making haR-hearted at
tempt to keep them in line for the
ticket. but it is generally understood
here that the sole desire Of the Hig-
gins people is to elect the ticket Ia
New Castle and let Kent and SUSSEX
go by the board. Some of the Regu'
lar Republicans have openly said az
much since the polls opened thl'
morning.

FROM THE BArr1E GROUND.

Special Dispatch Evening Journal
Dover, Nov. S.-While it has been
clearly understood here since the final
day Of registration that New Castle
county and Sussex county would go
Democratic. there has never been a
day since the opening Of the campaign
that Kent county has not been con-
coded debatable ground. Both sides
have been making claims, but neither
side has been confident of substantial
ing them at the polls. Chairman
Hawkins, of the Democratic County
Executive Committee, is in receipt OF
advices from the important points OF
the county. They are almost invsria-
bly, favorable to the Democrats, who
are confident that the county is theirs.
The majoritiee wiM be small, but suffl-
cient for all practical purposes. A
heavy Democratic vote is being po.led
in every district. Clark Mensch and
his Regular Republican following are
doing valiant service for the Demo-
cratic ticket. While there is Reg
ular Republican ticket in the field
many Of the Regulars are making theil
votes count two instead of one by vot-
ing the Straight Democratic ticket
When seen shortly before noon TO-DAY
Chairman Hawkins stated that there
would be a full poll Of Democrats, anc
that in his opinion the Addicksites
