The names selected by the Demo-
cratic ring on Saturday for the
ticket in New Castle county may
appear to the ringsters to be the

this cut and dried selection will be
treated by the voters as it should
be. The candidates need not con-
cern themselves further about the
election. All that routine will be
performed just the same as if they
wasted time to take part in it.
