Georgetown. July 19.-Politics is get
ting warm in Sussex county. The
Regular Republicans are very bitter
over the turn down of their delegates
at Chicago, and are going in this time
20 down Addicks for good. The Demo-
Gratis who went to ST. Louis have re-
turned home and they as well as others,
are sure they are going to elect Par
ker.
Il Is very apparent that there Is a
better feeling IN the Democratic party
than there has been for years. BY get
ting behind Gray they disclosed their
ability TO get together and they are
so much encouraged by the bitter feel
Ing existing among Republicans that
they think they viii be sure to win.
Davis boom has also raised their
spirits. They count on being able to
match the money Addicks may be able
70 put in. They are buoyed up by the
hope that Addicks is pretty well broken,
land will not be able to put up much
cash. They say thgt his Bay state
Gas Company is in the hands Of a
receiver and he has no way to raise
money for campaign purposes.
The Democrats OF Little Creek hun
dred have settled their differences and
they promise TO give a large Demo-
cratic majority this election. The DEM
ocrats who defeated the Democratic
candidate for the Legislature IN George
town hundred last election are all for
Parker and the whole ticket This time
and there Is no doubt but that the
Democrats here will be able to agree
lon a candidate for the Legislature. and
elect him with the usual majority. The
Democrats are pretty sure to have two
more members from Sussex in the nexi
Legislature than they did last time
