Sussex-First, Third and Fifth.
In addition, each county will
elect members of the Levy Court
a complete new body in New Castle
cOunty-and assessors and inspec-
tors.
It will thus be seen that the cleo
ton is of much importance, not
withstanding this is what is termed
the "off year" in national politics.
Great interest will centre in the
election of members of the Legisla-
ture, as the Legislature of 1911, to
be chosen next November, will |
elect a successor to United States
Senator Henry Algernon du Pont,
while the ten State Senators to be
chosen will hold over and partici-
pate in the election of a successor
to United States Senator Harry
AldeH Richardson by the Legisla-
ture of 1918.
The State Senators to be succeed |
ed at the election of November next |
are as follows;
New Castle county-First dis
trict, George w. Sparks, Republi- |
can ; Third, William H. Miller, Re
publican Fifth, John w. Morrison, |
Democrat Seventh, Edward Hart.
Democrat.
Kent cOuuty-First district, DR.. |
Thomas c. Moore, Republican
Third, Remseu c. Barnard Repub-
lican ; Fifth, Alan B. Connor, Re-
publican.
Sussex county-First district,
Samuel E Reed, Republican; Third,
Joseph Iliff, Republican Fifth,
James Rowland, Jr., Republican.
In New Castle county the proba-
bilities are that the Senatorial cleo
tious will result as they did at the
election of 1906, when the present
State Senators were chosen-Re-
publican Senators in the First and
Third district and Democrats in the
Fifth and Seventh.
In Kent county, DR.. Thomas c.
Moore Of the First district is almost !
sure to be succeeded by a Democrat,
as the two Representative districts
the First Senatorial dis
let elected Democratic Represents
ives at the election of IoOS and the
district is naturally Democratic.
There is also a prospect of Demo- c
ratio success in the Third district,
while the Fifth is heavily Republi-
AN. ,
In Sussex county the First Sen
ltorial district is heavily Republi- '
an, the Third and Fifth good fight
ng ground. At the election of 1908 ,
he Ninth and Tenth Representa-
i've districts, which compose the d
7ifth Senatorial district, were car
led by the Democrats.
The Democrats, therefore, will e
llmost surely gain a State Senator \
n Kent county. The present State
senate stands II Republicans and c
Democrats. A gain of two seats c
" the Democrats would leave it d
by 9 to 8, and a gain of = z
hree would give the Democrats i
ontrol by 9 to8. Il
At the election of 1908, the t
Democrats secured control of the 9
House of Representatives by IS to g
7. p
