AS soon as it was learned on sat
urday that many of the delegations
were being chosen for Holland, promi-
nent temperance workers of Kent
county announced that there would
probably be no prohibition ticket in the
field, and a leading temperance worker
of Dover declared that Mr.. Holland, if
would certainly receive the
favorable consideration Of all the 500
or more pledged local option clubmen
in the State.
In the local option campaign before
the last Legislature. Mr.. Holland was
the local optionist selected from the
Democratic party to address the Legis-
lators, which he did in a ringing
speech.
The Democrats are now trying to
forget the primaries. They are con-
graduating themselves that the days
of fighting each other are over CD and
that hereafter their vitality will be
directed against the common enemy.
Kenney and Salisbury Unite.
The Kenney-S salisbury understand
ing stopped the engagement at Dover
and the rank and file breathed freely
for it was an unbearably hot day.
In Camden, however, at the last min
ute, the compromise ticket there was
upset because of a feeling among the
voters that DR.. f. W. Cooper ought to
have a share of the gubernatorial bou-
quets. Accordingly the ticket which
was to have consisted of DR.. Cooper,
w. Edgar Maloney and Dr. Z. ]. Brown,
being a representative each from the
Wolcott, Kenney and Salisbury forces
was changed to contain the names of
DR.. Cooper, Mr.. Maloney and William
f. Graham, Cooper man. DR.. Brown
being left out in the heat. DR.. Brown
may not now bend all his energies to
elect Pennewill a State Senator to
succeed Alice.
A. NJ. Daily OF Dover, was sent for
and hurried to Camden. but when he
reconstructed an opposition ticket to
consist of DR.. Brown. Mr.. Maloney and
William C. +. Waller, 1t was late and
only "a votes could be coralled against
the Cooper sides Sc.
Mr.. DAILY also got into West Dover
hundred in time to pull two of the
six delegates out of the fire.
Mr.. Hollands lieutenants swept
things at Milford. Watson Harrington
got his Cooper delegation through at
Pennington, Mr.. Cavender his at
Smyrna, Senator Clements his at Ken
ton with side boom for leutenant-
governor, which may mean some-
thing), while a solid Cooper delegation
was pulled through at the Shoestring.
The reorganization forces. therefore,
may line up solidly behind DR.. Cooper,
Of Camden, who may divide the Kent
county delegates with Mr.. Pennewill.
