REPUBLICANS TO
BATTLE AT THE POLLS
reorganization" and Its Opponents Will Meet in a
Struggle at fhe Primaries on SafurdaYFOr
Control of the State Convention

his fight against DR.. Marshall for dele
gate. This combination has caused
confusion in several of the districts,
and has complicated the struggle for
State convention delegates.
Burton and Layton in Sussex
In Sussex county, the situation over
national delegates also is plunged in
uncertainty, and will be until the very
last moment. There is a multi-corner-
ed fight going on in the southern
county. Congressman Hiram r. Bur-
ton is out for national delegate, and so
is DR.. Caleb r. Layton and many
others are mentioned" Among them
are Captain Harry Lyons, Of Lewesi
Curtis Davis, Of Laurel ;Thomas
Curry, and former Senator Simeon S.
Pennewill. DR.. Layton is lined up with
the Opposition" forces and at the same
time is hammering away at Congress-
man Burton, whom he fears may get a
"third-term grip" on Sussex, and thus
damage DR.. Layton's - candidacy for
governor, as governor and congress-
man could not come from Sussex.
The organization" forces have an
nounced that while they are favorable
at this time to Secretary Of
War Taft 3. for President, it is
likely that an uninstructed delegation
will be sent to Chicago. but indications
are that a determined effort will be
made by the Opposition" to instruct
the national delegation specifically for
Taft This may provoke one Of the
biggest fights in the convention on
Tuesday.
Preliminary Skirmish
It is generally admitted that the con-
test for State delegates and county
lcommitteemen is Insignificant along
side of what win happen later on when
tickets are to be nominated for State
and county officers. In many ways the
election on Saturday win lay the
grounds for the more aggressive cam
paign to be waged in the state con-
lvention that is to nominate candidates
for congressman, governor and other
State offices, and in the county pri-
maries to nominate county and legis-
llative officers. While Sussex county is
claiming the governor, and there are
no less than fourteen men mention
ed" for gubernatorial honors down
there, with Simeon s. Pennewin and
DIR. Layton in the forefront, friends
OF Governor Preston Lea in Whining
ton already are planning to try TO re-
nominate him. It is the hope Of the
governors friends that Sussex will be
unable to "get together on man, and
in the struggle that would follow Mr.
Lea would be renominated-
/ Another feature of the camapign
likely to cause some trouble is the can
didacy OF Congressman Burton for an
other term. Should Sussex get the
governor, which it is claiming, that
would mean that New Castle county
would get the congressman. But with
Governor Lea and DR.. Burton being
urged again. it would twist about the
situation and cause some political ma
neuvering.

Republican primaries are to be held
on Saturday from 4 to o'clock in the
afternoon and evening to elect dele
gates and alternates to the State con-
vention. to be held on Tuesday next in
Dover, and also to elect new city and
county committeeman. There are stir
ring contests for delegates and COM
mitteemen practically over the entire
county. In every ward excepting one
in Wilmington, there is a contest, and
especially in the big Republican wards
the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth-is the struggle being waged the
hottest While many Of the contests
are over delegates, the main interest
now is centering in the fight for MEM
bers Of the county committee, the con-
troll Of which is at stake In every
ward there is an Organization" and
an Opposition" list Of candidates, but
because Of the manner in which the
ekets are made up for the primaries
this division Is not made apparent. All
the names are on one ticket, and the
voter has an opportunity 70 vote Tor
whom he pleases. He has to satisfy
himself as to who are organization
and wbe are Opposition candidates
The organization men are supporting
4 the present State and county organiza-
ton, while the opposition is seeking to
gain control Of the State convention
and Of the county committee, with a
view Of instituting a new leadership.
Workers Of both sides are leaving
nothing undone in the way of trying
TO get out their supporters, and it is a
safe bet that Republican activity will
not be lacking in the campaign now
under way.
Many Want the Honor
For national delegates there are sew
eral contests throughout the State, for
the contest is being waged in all three
counties. In New Castle county the
nemes mentioned are Senator Henry
A. DUPONT, Governor Preston Lea, for
mer Senator Anthony Higgins and
Colonel J. Ernest Smith. The cor
ganization" is said to be backing Sem
ator DUPONT and Governor Lea for ma
tfonal delegate honors, while the "op-
position" wishes former Senator Hig-
gins to 90 to Chicago as delegate
from Wilmington, which would cut oui
Governor Lea as a delegate. The gov
ernor is a candidate for delegate TO the
state convention. from the Seventh
ward, and State Chairman T. Coleman
DUPONT is a candidate for State con-
vention delegate from the Fifth ward.
The Fight in Kent
In Kent county the candidates are
Senator Harry A. Richardson, Insur-
ance Commissioner George W. Mar
shall and former Senator ]. Frank
Alice. A strange situation has devel-
oped down there, for many of the men
on the Alice ticket are pledged to sup
port Senator Richardson and former
senator Alice for national delegate.
BY supporting Senator Richardson,
the Alice men have figured that II
would improve the chances Of Alice IN
