publican ticket elected in Sussex county.
Milton, 1926 p. m.-Never in the his
tory of "Old Broadkiln" hundred have
the people witnessed sitter fight than
was put up by the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties to-day and this hundred,
which has been conceded to the Demo-
Gratis by the Republicans ever since the
registration, is now claimed TO have gone
Republican by small majority.
Laurel, 7.45 p. m.-The indications
point to Democratic majority in this
hundred of about 20 or 80. The hun
dred is close and there might possibly be
small Republican majority.
There will be little cutting OF the State
ticket, and it is claimed by conservative
Republicans that they will defeat L.
Irving Handy and the whole Democratic
STATE ticket with majority ranging
from 300 to 800.
The fight between Simon S. Prnnewill
and Joseph Z. Holland, Senatorial can
didates in the First District, will be a
hot one and will result in victory for
Mr.. Pennewil by small majority.
The Republicans also claim that Sena-
torial candidate in the Fourth District, J.
]. Brazure, will be elected in spite of the
fact that the Regulars and Unionists
have failed to agree on the same candl-
date for State Senator. 1t is expected
that many Regular Republicans will
support Mr.. Brazure and cut their own
candidate, Dinnard w. Campbell, for the
district is stronghold of Republican
ism.
Robert Short, candidate for Sheriff,
has also fight on his hands, but will be
elected over Thomas r. Wilson by a fair
majority. The balance OF the county
ticket will be elected without doubt.

sentatives elected, namely: Two from the
First Senatorial District, two from the
Fourth and one from the Third, also one
from the Fifth District.

of the five Sussex county Senators and
six of the ten Representatives, and if the
same work is done in the other counties
OF the State the Republicans will have
the Legislature.

ed are Mark L. Davis, Of the First Req.
