The big fight will be ia the selection
Of the Legislative candidates Tor
State Senators and Representatives. es
aud there will be quite mum ber
after these offices.
Nearly every man who sat IN the

himself in the Legislature OF 1903
There will be no scarcity of candi-
dates and the primaries will be the
battle ground, especially in New
Castle county.
10 this city James B. Robertson
