| tOOLS IN THEIR EOi.L1.
Pastor Speaks
The powerful electric stereopucon will
be used at these meetings
Gratis will have the hardest time in the
history of their organization to get
their voters registered.
The Democratic organization in the
county is an incoherent mass and there
will be a bitter fight for its control at
the county convention. Furthermore,
the forces are pretty evenly divided
and the defeated faction will show a
rare example Of inactivity.
If East Side has not been misin-
formed, there is a muddle in the Union
Republican politics in the Seventh
representative district in Kent county.
Four well-known men are desirous OF
joining in the shout of the name -.
Edward Addicks" some two hundred
OF more times next winter Early in
the spring, the Union Republicans
slated T. Elwood Warren. a prominent
farmer. better known to the Addicks
men as 'Woodie' Warren, and a good
fellow generally, to represent the Sew
enth (Speaker McCommOns' district in
the new Legislature. Warren, too, was
anxious to get in the game of prolong-
ing the election of United States SEN
ator. and it was thought that every
thing was fixed. Recently it developed
that Daniel X. Murray. of Viola, a
hard political worker, and son OF
| George II. Murray, the old Republican
leader, had legislative and Addicks-
voting aspirations, and that he had
uietly solidifiedhis delegation. Then the
Addicks leaders made a coup d'etat
and brought out Rem" Barnard, a
prominent young man of Camden, and
son of Colonel ID. P. Barnard. Barnard
who is young in politics, could, OF
course. divide Murray's delegation
turn his delegates over to Warren and
then be in line for election as repre-
sentative two years hence.
Meantime, however, it is said, George
NJ. Fisher, of Wyoming, who still has
legislative aspirations, has been shown
an opening for himself by his friends
to succeed Speaker McCommons. an6
! it is declared that Mr. Fisher is goine
to make the run. Now, worst of all
? it is positively declared that Mr.. Fish
, er is going to stay in the race.
Just where this pulling apart o.
, delegations is going to leave Speakei
McCommons with his canvass for clerl
of the peace is a puzzler.
The only candidates so far an.
! lnOunced for delegates to the Republi-
can State Convention from Middletowr
, are Joseph c. Jolls, Joseph c. Parker
, and Merritt n. Willis. The alternates
spoken of are William A. Huldn, Jr.
. Alfred G.. Cox and Jacob H. Emerson
, lit is probable there will be no oppo
q Isition. From Odessa, George L. Town
r send has been named as a delegate, ant
! !from Port Penn. Henry Cleaver ant
Boyd r. Cleaver. AS only one can b.

Members of the Democratic Cit
and County Committees conferred las

u him. Mr.. Alice. like J. Edward Al
dicks and William Michael Byrne,
es not hard to interview when there is
81 bluff to be made. This time he sa,
o. that the Union Republicans will neve
n no. never. no. never endorse DR.. Ba
tn for Congress. We all have heard sim
n lar positive statements before. This
ty regarded as a bluff to frighten Il
az delegates TO the Regular conventio

ho body will renominate DR.. Ball witho
81 opposition.
