There may be other candidates for
senator and representative in the diff
ferent districts, but East Side" has
given the list above as the names COM
ing to his notice
In the First district, the Republican
candidate for representative will like
ly win as before, but there is a bitter
fight between Kitchens and Sparks.
Chairman of the Union City Committee
Francis S. Bradley is backing the
Kitchens forces and says that his can
didate will win cut. Dr. Buckmaster
the Democratic candidate, hopes that
the fight will be bitter enough for the
defeated candidate of the nomination to
knife the successful nominee at the
polls and thereby win the election.
The Second district is strongly Re
publican and the Democrats have al
ways placed a candidate in the field for
the sake Of giving someone an empty
honor. Knowing as they do, that it is
sure election for the Republican nomi-
nee, four candidates are in the field
while the Democrats are so far salts
fed with one.
In the Third representative district
John Bancroft likely will win, and the
candidacy of George w. Roberts will
not amount to much This district
gave over 1900 Republican majority
two years ago, so it is evident that the
Democrats will mot be in it,"
In the Fourth district Thomas Mon
oghan and Barney" McVey are tn,
combatents on the Democratic side OF
the fence. Monaghan has back of him
an honorable record as a member OF
the last House. which will stand him
in good stead in the battle that is now
on.
1t has been rumored that the Repub-
iican candidate would be either II. ID
Ross or Harry P. Joslyn, but they ar,
undecided. Joslyn gave Monaghan
| good race two years ago, having bui
thirty-elght votes to the bad. 1t wal
announced a few days ago that Will
liam Lawton would be a candidate anC
he says that he is favorable to tn,
caucus nominee for senator.
The Fifth is a Democratic distric
but two Republicans are willing to tt!
to change its politics.
The Sixth is safely Republican an,
each party has two candidates in tn,
field
The Seventh is the district in whicl
resides w. r. Finn and it is safe d
say that that gentleman will agail
represent that end OF the State a
Dover next year.
Attorney Harry Whiteman has Jus
announced his candidacy for this dis
trict. He is original in his platform
Here it is: Subject to Republican rulee
which mean to go into a caucus of tn
majority and to support the successful
nominees thereof for United State
senators, which | pledge myself to dc
The Eighth district is strongly Re
publican and there is one candidate S
far mentioned who has the oonfdenc
Of all that district and will likely wiz
It is William M. Eastbmn.
The Ninth is a very close district,
giving but two Republican majorit
two years ago. Three Republicans ar
mentioned but it is not likely that a
.hree will be candidates. The Demo
Gratis are anxious about this distric
and have two good men in the field.
The Tenth. New Castle hundred wi
likely send back O. p. Holcomb, tn
Democrat. The Republicans are III
decided as to a candidate, although
Atwood Stewart may be prevailed upo
TO run.
Pencader hundred. the Eleventh di
trict has already chosen her Republ
aan and Democratic aspirants. EaC
- has served a term in Dover and as Il
district is close. it will be watch'
with interest. The fact of Dayett b
ing elecetd a Regular and then betra
ing his Constituents, will cut some fl
ure in the contest
The Twelfth has selected her Dem
cratic candidate, but not the Repub
can. Dick Cam being a pronounc
Salisbury man will help the c6n'
dacy of Willard r. Smith.
In the Thirteenth district,
h. Georges hundred, the Democratic bl
tie will be between that old WARRIOR
James T. Shallcross and David
COlpitts. while it is said that Geoi
l.. Townsend. Jr.. will be one Of I
Republicans who would like to lo
after that hundreds interests.
. Candidates are timid in AppOqu

Gratis will meet in Townsend on NJ,
day night and fix UP a slate. The ]
