Dover, Sept 19.-Never before has Do
yer had so many conventions in two
months and they are not over yet. The
Single Takers have yet to have theirs.
The one held here yesterday was the
Republican Kent County Convention and
none during this capaign has been so in
teresting and so harmonious.
When the delegates arrived here the
sentiment was divided as to whether it
would Ice wise to endorse the entire Adj
dicks ticket or only part OF it. 1t was
later decided in a caucus to endorse all
except the legislative end and some of
the assessors. inspectors and levy court
men, The latter three parts of the ticket
are composed of both factions The fact
that the legislative end Of the ticket is
distinctively anti-Addicks plainly shows
that the Republicans in Kent county at
least, are not in favor Of the gasman hav-
ing his ambitions fulfilled. In fact. one
of the resolutions passed in the conven-
tion condemns his acts in buying Demo-
cratic votes
