DELAWARS WILL

CONGRESSMAN CLAYTON SAYS
THE STATE is AS SAFELY DEMO-

Washington, September 2o.-(speeial)-
Representative Clayton of Alabama is IN
Washington after weeks campaigning
in the state Of Delaware. He attended the
democratic state convention, which he
pronounces one of the most enthusiastic
he ever witnessed, and then went through
the southern end of the state delivering
a number of speeches.
THE democrats are In fine fighting trim
in Delaware" said he tonight, land L
predict will carry the state. The repub-
licans are split up in two factions, and
the Addicks men have put out a candidate
to make the race against the regular
nominee. Candidates for the legislature
are also divided between the two factions.
Only one thing can effect democratic
chances, and that is the withdrawal of
Addicks, which will never take place. 1t
looks to me as if democratic members OF
the senate and one democratic member
of the house will be the result Of the cleo
tion."
