Democratic primaries we're held
throughout New Castle county on Sat
urday and they resulted IN the nomi-
nation of William j. Bayley, of this
city. for sheriff. Thomas NJ. Collins
was nominated for coroner without
opposition. The candidates for
register of wills, recorder of deeds
and register in chanoery will be
nominated in the Democratic county
convention to be held on Thursday
of next week
Bayley swept the city for sheriff,
but Thompson got most of the vote
in rural New Castle county. The
city vote was Overwhelmingly greater
than that in the rural county, how
ever, and Bayleys majority
is 406, with one district missing.
Bayley at present is county assessor
from the Fifth district, and we'll
known member of the Weccaso Fire
Company.
BY far the hottest contest was for
the nomination for Representative in
the Fourth district. comprising the
First, Third and part of the Fifth
wards DR.. Thomas o. Cooper, at
present Speaker of the House at
Dover, and Councilman Charles G..
Dempsey were the opposing candi-
dates. All along it appeared as if
this would be exceedingly close. but
the influences back of DR.. Cooper
were so powerful that he won in a
walk. His majority was 800.
Dempsey was seriously handicapped
by a report spread by his opponents
that he was a dry" man. II all
grew out of his refusal sometime ago
to sign a liquor license application.
although he had denied that he was
dry" Anyway. his refusal to sign
the license application gave his op-
ponents a cue, and they circulated
the reoprt all around that Dempsey
was dry. The sentiment in the
district is wet" by a big majority.
and the report hurt Dempsey
chances to such an extent that the
report could not be overcome in the
least by his friends.
i
Aside from that, the friends of DR.
Cooper worked among the Republi-
cans and some Of them voted at Sat
urday's primaries. In the First ward
many colored men voted for Cooper
In the Third ward, however. the cleo
tion officers declined to allow colored
men to vote at the primaries. thev
claiming they had party rule to that
effect Cooper carried the First,
Third and Fifth ward slice of the
district. In the Third ward the
Cooper forces were led by Daniel w
Lynch and j Edward McNabb and
they piled up a big victory. The
McNahb forces also routed the forces
under the leadership of John Dolan
FOR delegates TO the conventions. This
clinches McNabbs leadership in the
ward, and the McNabb men vester-
day we're boasting of how they will
slaughter Councilman Higgins II he
comes up for denomination in the CITY
campaign next spring.

Another surprise in the city was
the way that Louis A. Hillersohn q
former member OF the Board Of
Health, walloped Building Inspector
John J. Cassidy for delegate 10 tbe
state Convention from the first ward
I Hillersohn was after revenge and he
got IT. He had not forgotten how the
Democratic machine headed bv Mavor
Spruance had given him a turn and
ignored him when patronage was
handed out by the Board of Health
Hillersohn hNd been appointed a mem
Der OF the board by Mayor Spruance
but he resigned Indignantly when he
didn't get patronage for the First
ward he says was promised bv the
Mayor. Hillersohn won out for dele
gate by 80 majority. He had more
majority than Cassidy had votes. The
result was Hillersohn ITO, Cassidy 80
George L. Stidham who sought the
position Of secretary of the Board OF
Health and was turned down, was an
active worker for Hillersohn on Sat
urday, although he lives in the Sew
