Democratic County Committee

For Reelection

who is a candidate for denomination, was
dropped from the list of candidates. Mr..
White was surprised at the action as he
expected To he put on and had worked
hard TO convince the committee that his
course was lawful.
Recently the Democratic party made
rules at county convention by which
rotation In office was provided for. These
rules provide that the rural districts now
having members OF the Levy Court shall
be the last 10 have candidates ON the
ticket for that position. Mr. White held
this did not apply 10 the present mem-
bers Of the Levy Court and became a
candidate.
Mr.. White turned In his name MS can-
didate yesterday and IL was accompanied
by petition signed by between 800 and
700 Democratic voters Of the district. ask
ing that his name be placed upon the list
and pledging themselves to vote for him.
Mr. White was represented by Attorney
John IL. Rodney of New Castle. Mr.
Rodney insisted that the ru,es applied for
the first time now. and this being the ease
the committee had the right to allow iht
names 0f candidates from al districts
upon the tickets. After that time the
committee could then enforce the rule by
shutting out the district which had the
member.
After hearing the argument the COM
mittee adopted resolution declaring that
all Democratic members of the Levy
Court outside the city OF Wilmington were
ineligible as candidates for that position.
A law passed some time ago appeared
10 provide that none of the present meme
bers of the Levy Court should be re-
elected. The Democrats secured the adj
vice of counsel and were told the law was
defective. 1t was held that 20 be can
didate for Office is a privilege which Is
held by all citizens and can only be taken
away by law which is eXactoin its pro-
visions. II was also held that in the abb
sence OF an exact date for a law going
into effect It must be interpreted as
prospective" II would not, therefore
apply 10 the members of the Levy Court
now holding Office, but 20 those who came

TIE Santa Re Suffers Another Ser.
ious Loss Here. I
A little after 2 o'clock this at
ternoon another wreck occurred in
the Santa Fe yards here. making
two within a week. But this is
more serious than the last one.
One box car and six fat cars
are demolished and two others are
badly damaged.
The wreck was caused by fly
ing switch of gravel cars. They
were started from the south end of
the east switch and either the push
given them was harder than in
tended or the momentum acquired
from the slight grade was not con-
sidered.
AT any rate, they ran down the
switch to a point a little north OF
the water tank, where they col
lided with a string of box cars
standing on the north end of the
switch.
There were about twenty-five OF
the gravel cars and they must have
struck with tremendous force
for the first car was hurled
from the track end foremost dowr
the embankment on the east side
This was followed by six flats
and they are all piled together in
conglomerate mass of splintereC
timhers and broken and twisted

the front fence of a house just cas-
of the track and completely demol
ished the north half. One box ca
and one fat, which were next tt
