up by telephone at his residence at
Hockessin this morning and asked

IN KENT COUNTY.
Kent County Regular Republicans
are reported to be plsasol at the
situation there. They do not think
that the Union Republicans can do
any better this election than they
have in the past There is said to
be danger that J. Frank Alice will
not be reelected to the Senate on
account of opposition in the Union
Republican ranks.
IN SUSSEX COUNTY
The situation In Sussex County
from Regular Republican point OF
view is set forth IN the following
sta tcmeu:.
''In the First and Second districts
where there will be an endorsement
by the Democrats, we ought to win
because We have majority on com.
bination as shown by the vote OF
two years ago. That leaves the Sew
enth and Eighth districts and the
First Senatorial district as surely
Republican.
"tThe doubtful districts are the
Fourth, Broad Creek, Sixth, Days
boro, and Tenth, Lewis, Rehoboth
and Broadkiln. The Democrats will
carry the Fourth and also the Tenth,
for the Democrats are together and
the Republicans are divided. The
Sixth will probably go Democratic,
being Henry A. Houston's own dis
trict, which was carried two years
ago by the Union Republicans be-
cause of disatfection in the Demo-
cratic ranks.
''rhis leave some Senatorial district
and two Representative districts for
the Union Republican"
'Pennewill is likely to be re elected
Senator IN the First district. The re-
naming Republican Representative
districts are theSeventh and Eighth,
but the Republican registration has
fallen off so in the Eighth, Indian
River hundred, there being too Re-
publican candidates in the field.
that the Democrats have hopes Of
the district
That we'll cut the Union Republi-
cans down to one Senator and one
Representative besides one holding
over Senator Brasure, in the fourt h.
"Anotherldoublful place is the
senalorship in the Third district
where l. O. Moore is tile Union
Republican nominee. HI! needs to
carry Little Creek Hundred in
order to secure the Senatorial dis.
trict, but the Democrats have a
n a orIty Of BIS or more there.
