The evening Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1902-1902, 1902-06-02
A POLITICAL
REVIEW.

of the Philadelphia Record has con
siderable to say about Delaware
politics, but his statements must b.
taken like doses of laudanum. 1
the other information furnished is
no truer than this: George w
Sparks of the Young Mems Repub-
lican Club, may be selected tc
struggle with James W. Robertson
for the Republican nomination fo1
State Senator in this Republican
district" then there is not much
| truth in the article. Senator Nc
Nulty holds over and Kitchen and
Sparks are candidates for represen-
tatives.
This is what the correspondent
says:
Work of the coming campaign
will be started by the Democrats of
the city this week and an endeavor
will be made for an early State
Convention, in line with the sugges-
ton of the Kent County Demo-
Gratis.
Reports to the leaders from Demo
Gratis in various parts of the State,
indicate the most active political
battle in Delaware for years. At
the coming hundred convention of
Wilmington Democrats W. L. Ha-
mann, Frank McCloskey and Victor
B. Woolley are scheduled to be
chosen to the County Committee.
Mr.. Woolley is also slated for chair
man of the County Committee by
the Ford-Saulsbury men and they
will be in control of the convention.
The Ford d-Saulsbury element pro-
poses to manage the campaign in
this county, and candidates for the
Legislature will probably be set up
in the interest of Willard Salisbury
for U. S. Senator. There seems to
be little doubt that they will con-
troll the Democratic members elect
ed from this city.
Representative Monaghan will be
a candidate for denomination, and
ex-State Detective Bernard J. Nc
Vey is also talked of for the place.
In the Fifth district Representative
John Z. Healey, 1t is said, will not
be a candidate for denomination by
the Democrats, and VIM. M. Con-
molly young builder, now has the
field clear to himself.
The AntiAddicks Republicans
have been looking around for a can
didate for the lower House from the
Third district of the city and may
select VIM. H. Bowers.
In New Castle Hundred, Senator
ial district Senator Robert McFarlin
it is said, will be in the race for a
denomination. As the Senator is
now considered an Addicks man,
the Regulars will put up stiff fight
against him.
This district, with proper manage
ment, ought to be Democratic
Francis D. Janvier and Artemas
Smith are being talked of for the
Democratic nomination.
Channcey P. Holcomb will prob
ably be the candidate for the Lower
House from New Castle district.
Captain Holcomb won out at the
last election and the Democrats
think he would be sure winner
again.
In Kent County it is expected
that DR.. Thomas G. Moore, Addicks
leader in Northern Kent, will 60
back either in the House or Senate.
-Four years ago Stephen Slaught-
er, Democrat, carried the Sena-
torial district with tlitling ma
iority and DR.. Moorc's friends
say that If they were sure the Re-
publeans could carry the district |
the doctor would 60 TO the State
Senate. He was in the lower house
last time and there would be 20
more opposition IN the Union Re-
publican ranks il he desired anoth-
er term. Duck Creek district be.
lore the advent OF DR.. Moore as a
leader of the Addl;ks forces was
heavily Democratic.
In the Second or Leipsic district |
the Democrats will run Edward II.
Paradee. BY hard fighting the
Democr ats can keep this district.
The Democrats think they will
be ableto put up good fight against
State Senator Alice, who, despite
some opposition iu the Addicks
ranks, will be the Candidate for
State Senator again. William Penn
ewill is now the man talked OF for
the Democratic nomination.
Ex- x-Postmaster r. NJ. Gooden,
Of Dover, will run for the lower
house from that district for the
Democrats against Henry Harper,
he slated Addicks candidate.
The Democrats have in mind }. F.
Cooper for the lower house in the

E. Warren is said to be the pros
