was read by Mr. Maloney.
Caleb +. Burchenal said he believed
the best plan was to form an organiza-
ton Of Republicans and Democrats for
the temperance cause right down the
line and each Independent of the other,
so they will not conflict with each other
when 1t comes to making nominations.
Mr.. Burchenal said he had found that
Democrats don't like Republicans to
interfere with them in making nomi-
nations and Republicans don't like
Democrats TO interfere with them. If
/ the Republicans and Democrats nomi-
nate wet" candidates Tor the Legis-
lature then the intention is TO nomi-
nate an independent dry" candidate
for the Legislature
Mr.. Burchenal said the politicians
d4dn't think such a candidate could be
ei0cted. but he believed the politicians
would be fooled.
The liquor men are planning to set
up nominations all over the State"
said Mr. Burchenal. "and the people
in the lower counties had better look
out for themselves If they want to pre-
vent a re-submission.
Mr. Burchenal said the liquor meR
are particularly anxious to control the
nominations Of governor and attorney
general. for the next governor will ap-
point new judges to interpret the law,
and the duty Of enforcing the anti
liduor laws falls upon the attorney
general
The convention then proceeded to
elect new county committee. the
work Of selecting them being rather
slow.
When the question of naming COM
mtiteemen for Red Lion Hundred was
taken up Mrs Pennington of Delaware
city suggested that the strongest men
possible be named, or the hundred would
be lost. Chairman Arters said he hoped
the county would be spared the dis.
grace of the nomination and election
Of a saloonkeeper from that hundred
to the Legislature The choice Of COM
mitteemen for the hundred was left
open, to be named later.
When New Castle Hundred was
reached Mr.. Wise said he did not know
Of worse hundred than New Castle"
The prevalence of many saloons made
the campaign extremely difficult he
said. He wanted a young active man
put on the committee in his place, but
Rev. s. B. Wylie objected and Mr.. Wise
was elected.
The nomination for committeeman
from Christiana hundred was left open.
Campaign Outlined.
Caleb E. Burchenal outlined the pur-
pose of the organization in the pending
campaign. He said the object was 20
try to get the Legislature TO grant a
vote on the license question in rural
New Castle county and Wilmington as
one district. He believed that rural
New Castle county viii go overwhelnl-
ingly dry and If there is no fraud In
Wilmington the city would go dry"
why 1 understand that even JACK
Goodwin is trying to get out Of the
saloon business. and is advertising his
saloon for sale" said Mr.. Burchena,
He said on all sides the voters were
asking that the dry" candidates be
designated so they can be supported at
the primaries.
How II Can Be Done.
After Mr.. Burchenal had finished.
Joseph I. Parker said II would be
necessary for the temperance people to
control a majority of tho State Sena-
tors and Representatives from New Cas-
tie county II .hcre Is 70 be a re-sub-
mission OF the license austion by the

one of the holding-over Senators in
