'GREaaM!IE 'GEa.!!!I BENCH As
; A CANDY MEMORIAL
Design Submitted to Board
of Park Commissioners
Meets With Approval

The memorial TO be erected in Brandy
wine Park to the memory of William M.
Candy will probably be of a design sub
mftted by Guy Lowe. an architect Of
Boston. Several designs have been re-
ceived by the Board of Park Commission
ers for the memorial but Mr.. loves work
seems TO have impressed the members
most.
The design Of the memorial submitted
by Architect Lowe is a bench which is
10 be carved out Of Barry granite and will
be seven feet. three inches long and four
feet high. The lowest price set on such a
DESIGN was SSS5. the foundations and lay
ing of the memorial to cost about $l0O
Altogether the cost would not exceed
$1,000. according 70 the figuring of the
committee. The back of the bench Will
have the following inscription. In men,
ory Of William NJ. Candy" The site for
the location of the memorial will prob
ably be in the vista directly back of the
water tower at Rockford. This vista had
been placed there by Mr.. Candy to AFFORD
a view of the Brandywine creek and the
houses and railroad below and if located
there would be in plain view of all those
passing along the Park drive.
The special committee appointed to gel
designs for the memorial was given power
to act i'm the matter and will in all prob
ability decide on the bench as the mos
suitable design. Some of the boarl
thought the monument should be carveC
out Of Delaware granite, but this ston,
is too course for inscription.

CHANDLER PROTEST SAID
TO BE DEMOCRATIC SCHEME

Republicans arc charging that the action
of DR.. Joseph II. Chandler in filing a pro-
}test to Clerk of the Peace Quigley placing
the name OF Preston Lea on the Republi-
can ticket was a Democratic scheme.
There is considerable evidence to bear out
these charges. They are anxious to do all
in their power to injure Mr.. Lea and place
him in a false light in the community.
The impression is general that the filing
Of the petition yesterday did not strength
en- DR.. Chandler but on the other hant
weakened him. The feeling is that tn,
protest filed at this late day could no
do any good. The only hope was that II
would injure the State ticket. However
it is claimed that it acted as a boomran,
and that DR.. Chandler will feel the ba,
effect
Evening journal., 1904-11-02

A well-known Republican. who was
one of the original DR.. Chandler men said
today in talking about the matter. Il
think that DR.. Chandler has made a
mistake After careful consideration, /
am convinced that the State committee
did the proper thing for the party in re-
moving him from the ticket. The State
convention which nominated DR.. Chandler
delegated to the State Committee the
power to change the ticket. On account of
the unpleasant charges made as a result
of the Luke-Allee-Chandler matter many
persons thought that it was best for him
TO retire.
Much depends upon the Republicans get
ting the governor of the State and many
of the friends of DR.. Chandler were panied
to ses him connected with a movement
calculated to embarrass the party"
