FORD FOLLOWERS
ON THB ALERT
Morrison Is Making a Strong
Bid for Democratic
Voters

Ford's followers are exercised more
or less over the proportions which the
Alvan n. Morrison boom for Demo-
cratic gubernatorial hDnUrs is assum-
ing, but they profess not to be alarmed.
Mr.. Morrisons candidaoy has caused
the Fordites to FedOubie their efOrts
to corner the New Castle county del
egates to the State Convention which
will meet in Dover on September IL
Before Mr.. Morrison appeared in the
arena the chances of Mr.. Ford having
a majority OF the New Castle county
delegates were bright. His followers
claimed forty Of the sixty-five dele
gates In the county. Another face has
been put ON the situa lion, and now the
former sanguine Fordites are watch
ng their fences with solicitous care.
Mr.. Morrison's friends say he will win
enough delegates in Wilmington to
shatter the slate which NJ. Ford is ex-
pected to put up N0s only Is Mr.. Nor
rison working hard in this city, but he
is meeting with some success in the
rural hundreds OF the county. His
workers, as well as those Of Mr.. Ford.
are engaged in urging the right of
Wilmington to the glbernatorial can
uiudlt, as lnln CITY mas not udu a gov
crnor in many years.
