Democrats OF this county are convinced
that the gubernatorial candidate who
gets the majority OF the delegates from
New Castle will receive the nomination

along IL has been conceded that Peter J.
Ford would have tke majority. Mr.
Ford's henchmcn have been working hard

the indications We're that success would
crown their efforts.
Another phase was developed yesterday
when the announcement was made that
Alvin r. Morrison, president of the Della
ware Construction Company and prom
inent business man, would hc candidate
for gubernatOrial honors. Mr.. Morrison
is regarded a strong man and his appear
ance in the arena has set the Ford fol-
lowers TO serious thinking.
There has been developing within the
past few days an anti-Ford movement
Back of il comes Mr.. Morrison's launch
/ After almost ten years of silence in poll

eighteen consecutive years, and the
management was at loss to know
why the soil failed to produce the
amount OF seed put into it. Less than
thousand bushels Were raised on this
land. The board ordered it gown to
grass and had an old meadow plowed
and planted in potatoes. Tie first crop
instead of being 1000 bushels was 5000
bushels. The soldiers orphans home
at Davenport needs more nd. in the
opinion OF the board. The institution
has but sixty-two acres. Half Il hun
bred able bodied boys could be used in
producing vegetables and other crops
il the state had the land. also twice the
present number OF COWS could be kept
enough to fully supply he institution
with butter and milk. The Davenport
home is located near the city limits
and ground is not easily secured ! t will
cost over 500 per acre. The state
maintained a soldiers camp in the
buildings now occupied by the home
during the civil war, and the state be-
lieved it to be economy 10 convert them
into a soldiers orphans home. Time
has shown that it would have been
money saved to sell the old buildings
and locate the home at a point where
plenty of land for farming purposes
could be secured. The board believes
I. Is economy to utilize the labor Of in
