DOVER, Del, April s.--Despite per-
sistent attempt Of DR.. Caleb r. Layton
and DR.. G. Layton Grier to get before tho
Republican State Convention resolution
instruoting the Delaware National dele
cation to vote for Secretary Of War VIII
liam H. Taft for President. the convention
IN its closing minutes yesterday afternoon
refused to suspend a rule to permit direct
action on the resolution and the delega-
ton will go uninstructed. DR.. Layton in
Weighed against what he termed gag"
law because he was not allowed by Chair
man William S. Hilles to launch into a
speech 1auding Secretary Taft, and Chair
man Hilles as he was entertaining a mo-
ton to adjourn informed DR.. Layton. who
was then on his feet that he knew Of no
way the subject could be brought before
the convention under the rules as they are
framed. Earlier in the convention br
Layton had killed a proposed amendment

destroy caucus rule and rotation, by ar
pealing TO Kent and Sussex county 70
stand firm against what he termed an
attempt of New Castle county to dominate
the convention. This line Of talk solidined
the down-state delegates. no matter what
other differences they might have, against
the proposed change in the rule. and the
amendment was overwhelmed by a chorus
Of nays.
Add Spice to Meetings
That the discussions over these subject q
added spice to the convention goes with
out saying. and while the Taft sentiment
was undoubtedly strong in the convention
and mention Of the secretary's name was
frequently applauded, there was one time
when some Kisses could be heard inter

AID COMING TO
SUFFERING BOY
Contributions Received to

SumptiVe Lad

The public has continued to extend
its aid to the Sunshine Society in be-
half of the consumptive boy whom It

hundred, and Mrs. Jane w. Pennewili,
of No. 7Os West street. State president

ing spirit IN the rescue of the little
patient. is more than ever encouraged
that the 500 which It is estimated will
be required to maintain him in the
sanatorium until he win have recover
ed, viii be contributed.
The case Is familiar to JOURNAL
readers. Nothing could be nobler than
the purpose for which these contribu-
tions are being received. The young
patient on his recovery win be a liv-
ing memorial Of the cnarlty of the
many Delawareahs who have come to
his aid. Il must be remembered that
his recovery means not his own hap
piness alone. but that OF his mother
and his two younger brothers. For a
long time the mother has been in Del
aware Hospital. suffering Of the ef-
fects of virtual starvation, and she
was not expected to live She is now
recovering and viii in a few years be
dependent upon the son who is now
fighting for his life in the sanatoriuni.
The two other children have been cared
for by the congregation of Trinity

dren indefinitely. and sooner or later
they viii be compelled to rely upon the
support Of their elder brother. when

strong enough to go OUT into the world
to work for them.
These are the phases OF the case that
are being kept in view by the Sum
shine Society in making its appeal.
Three dollars and a half a week are
required for the boys maintenance al
the sanatorium. Enough has been re-
ceived to maintain him there for ton
weeks. It is expected that he Will
have to remain there until at least next

BRYAN WORKERS
ARE STIRRING
Preparing for a Contest at
the Primaries in Kent
County

Reports from the lower counties received
to-day state that a general movement is
under way among the Democrats TO oi-
pose the efforts Of the Gray men to con-
troll the Democratic State Convention.
There Will probably be some bitter con-
tests at the Democratic primaries. With
the outbreak Of the Bryan sentiment In
this city comes reports Of much activity
among the. Bryan men in Kent and sus-
sex counties Strong efforts will be made
to smash any states that may be nut Tar.
ward by the Gray men.
The fight against the Gray leaders has
broken out In Northern Kent county ana
Is led by some OF the prominent Demo-
cratic workers there. The movement will
probably assume shape in Sussex county.
The movement is given impetus by the
notion prevailing among many Bryan men
that the Gray leaders propose to use the
name Of the urist as a mask to throw
the Delaware delegation for any one "a
defeat Bryan. This the Gray men DENY.
The friends of l.. Irving Handy saw that
Handy win be seelcted as the delegate
from Rural New Castle county and Chas.
H. Salmon will be the alternate. The,
also say that Peter ]. Ford viii be the
other delegate with Mathew d. Murphv
as alternate. In Sussex county they arc
talking OF Landreth Layton and Lewis
W. Mustard for national delegates in op-
position to General Stevens and former
Congressman Causey and Houston.
The fight is also said 70 involve the sloc-
ton of a Democratic member. of the ma
tional committee. 1t Is understood that
former Senator Kenney wants to succeed
himself as National Committeeman and
that IL James L. Woleott and Dr. william
F. Hoey are chosen as the Kent delegates
they will be for Kenney for National Com
mitteemen. This tentative slate, especially
the consideration Of Mr.. Kenney for Ma
uOnal Committeeman is not at all pleasing
to the Handy-Ford combine.
This combine is in favor Of Judge Gray
for President In fact the opposition 10
the Gray leaders appears to be divided.
Some Of the Bryan men are willing that
Judge Gray should be complimented bv
the vote Of Delaware. but they want 10
know what is to happen after the voting
for Judge Gray has ceased provided the
jurist is not nominated. The Gray leaders.
however. express no doubt but that they
can control the convention and now be-
cause Of the rumDus before the conven-
ton meets it is more than possible that
peace will be patched up.
