Dover, Nov. l2.-AlthOugh members II
of the State Legislature viii not be
elected until this time next year, Kent
county politicians continue to discuss
the subject win interest Union Re-
publicans say that Dr. #. c. Moore, j.
frank Alice and either Theodore
townsend or S. John Abbott will be
their nominees for the Senate from the
rlrst. Second and Third sena-
torial districts. This will vir
tually be denomination of the
Union Republican members of the
Legislature, for Or. T. c. Moore was
the Union Republican nominee in 1895
against stephen Slaughter, Democrat,
who was at that time elected by the [
small majority of uwo the former re-
ceiving AS votes and the latter receiv-
ing 44l votes. j. f. Alice in 1898 re-
ceived 660 votes in the Third senator |
| ial district. while George II. Glider |
sleeve Democrat, received COS votes. |
In the Fifth senatorial district S. j.
Abbott received 500 votes and DR..
George II, Pleasanton, Democrat, re-
ceived Gas votes. the formers majority
being $50 I'm one OF the strongest Re
publican districts in the State, and the
strongest in Kent county. Clinton A.
Prettyman is being spoken of as pos
lsible nominee on the Democratic ticket
for the senator from the Fifth district.
In the First representative district,
which formerly was Duck Creek hun
dred, the Union Republican party will
nominate William A. FAIRIES for repre-
/ sentative. He is a former member Of
5 that body having been elected in 1898
8 w. ID. Hudson, another possible candle
/ date, is extremely anxious for the
a nomination OF sheriff for Kent county,
b but II Is hardly likely that the sheriff
will be elected from Duck Creek. If DR.
q Moore has enough confidence in his
own strength to elect himself. the sher-
n SIS nomination will go to South Muir
o derkill, but IL otherwise, Duck Creek
n will get that nomination.
ID In the Second representative district
"a Thomas Roe has been slated by the
o Union Republicans for the nominatioo
for representative. Mr.. Roe ran once
q before for Levy COurtman in this dis
trict but was defeated.
In the Third representative district
g George Wright, OF Brenford, Kenton
g hundred, is slated for the nomination
% for representative by the Union Repub-
g licans. Mr. Wright is in the field
y against several others of his party, but
the probabilities are that he will re-
ceive the much-sOught-for nomina-
- ton. John l.. Hutchinson was elected
by the Democrats to fiji this position
n at the last election. He probably will
s. be renOminated. In the Fifth represen-
"a tative district the Union Republican
D party will probably renominate Bruen
Hope, John Satterield or Victor Dan
ner for the lower branch
In the Seventh district to succeed
Speaker McCommOns. DR. Conwell may
p be nominated for the lower branch to
represent the Addicksites. AS Mr..
McCOmmons had such n narrow escape
from defeat at the hands of the Demo-
Gratis at the last election. his renomina-
e tlon is considered unsafe In the Sixth
y Mr.. Cooper will probably be renomi-
- mated by the Union Republicans. AS
e this ia stronghold of Democracy, not
, much of a fight viii be made i'm that
II district by the Addicksites John Her
"a man Gooden will probably be renomi-
mated by the Democrats.
MI In the Eighth district John d. Eaton
b. OF FELTON,. will receive the nomination
l. at the hands of the Unions. but Al
r. Connor, if he is unable to land the SEN
atorship. will not refuse the nomina-
t. tion George G. Herring former rep
n resentative, desires denomination.
IS In the Tenth district, John White de
" sires a denomination, but Frank Davis
10 viii dispute the field with him.
)r The appointment Of Robert c. Hous
N ton to the position OF Col

Te by many politicians here as
positive indication that the Presiden
