IT'S A Pretty FIGHT

While much interest attaches to the
fight for the Democratic nomination
for governor, II will not be a circum-
stance to the fight in the several sena-
torial and representative districts for
the legislative candidates. With men
like Former Attorney-General John
Biggs, Willard Salisbury, Jr., United
States Senator Richard r. Kenney and
Former Representative l.. Irving
Handy battling for a majority Of the
Democratic legislative nominees, and
with so many results growing out Of
combinations possible, the contest is
exceedingly interesting and complex.
One thing seems certain, and that is
that the New Castle county men must
reckon with Kenney when IL comes to
the composition of the legislative tick
cts In Kent and Sussex counties, for
he has developed a following down
there that surprises even his own po-
lltlcal friends. With him and Mr..
Handy scarcely on speaking terms
since the Kansas City fight for place on
the National Committee, the question
naturally arises as TO whether Kenney
will deal with Biggs or Salisbury, foi
upon that deal the political future o
the two men largely depends.
With Former Ambassador Thomas
+. Bayard dead, and Former United
States Senator George Gray on tn
Federal bench the field in this end o
the state is wide open for a Democrah
leader of standing. Even before tn
death OF Mr. Bayard and the retiremen
of Mr. Gray from active politics, Nj
Salisbury was pluming himself for tn
succession. In fact. he even becam
imbued with the idea that he coul
supplant Mr., Gray, and had begun
gather about him a number Of Dem'
cratic workers when President McKil
ley appointed Mr.. Gray judge. Wh'
that event transpired, Mr.. Saulsbul
expected that the mantle Of polite
potency Of the Bayard and Gray fan
lies would fall upon him, a descenda
OF their old foes. He counted witho
his host. John Biggs stepped into I
breach with the Biggs, Bayard, Or
and Wolcott followers back Of hi
and there he is to-day, bidding fair
become the recognized leader Of
New Castle county Democracy, and
timately to dominate affairs Den
cratic in the state. Salisbury hopes

FOSTER DEflEs TAYLOR

by his inordinate greed, Sheriff John
10. Taylor has precipitated bitter
fight within the Union Repblican lines
in the Fourth Levy Court district and
there is no telling where il will end.
Some month ago James w. Foster an
earnest and hard-working follower OF
Addicks in New Castle hundred, came
out for nomination for Levy Court
commissioner. No doubt he believed
that the Republicans and Union Repub-
licans would go into common primar-
les in this county and that he would
have a chance to win out against
Charles NJ Megginson and Edwin S.
Armstrong He did not imagine that
his party leaders and associates would
block the movement for common pri-
maries neither aid he imagine that the
Adulcks machine would turn against
him and endeaver to drive him from
the field Sheriff Taylor is just COM
pleting a two-years term in an office
estimated to be worth $4,000 a year
Like many other office-holders he dis
likes to return TO private life. Some
time ago he began looking around for
some other offlceto run for. With one Of
his deputies. Benjamin A. Groves, a
brother-in-law, running for the nomi-
nation for State Senator under Ad-
dicks auspices. and with another dep
uty, Francis S. Bradley. a candidate
for the shrievalty nomination with the
same sort of backing, he could not con-
tent himself with remaining out of the
fight. Finally he decided that he
wanted to run for Levy Court Commits
sioner in the Fourth district He knew
that Mr.. Foster wanted the place, bu
that made no difference to him. He de
