White Clay Creek Mill Creek and part Of Pencader

heretofore that he would carry St Georges Red Lion

Monaghan is to be dropped by Salisbury just as

will endeavor to the Monaghan delegates nomln
ate some candidate whom he thinks he can control in
event Of his election this Fall is recognized that
the candidate in the field who is most menacing to
the Salisbury interests is Brady. Armstrong, Bird,
Bsyard and Heisel IN no looked upon as
anti-Saulsbury Il is recalled that recently
Salisbury had Armstrong down in Rehoboth introduc-
ing him industriously to prominent Democrats in
Sussex county and that he had Monaghan up Tren-
ton and introduced him TO Woodrow Wilson as "the
next Governor OF Delaware" AS Bayard has been one
Of Willard sausbury's leutenants for long time and
now is his chairman Of the Democratic State Commit
tee, It is not thought that he is mentioned for 1e
nomination for Governor because he wants to be but
merely because he has received orders from Salisbury
to pretend TO be candidate and thereby mix up the
situation
Only for circumstances connected with the Balti-

Summit Bridge be the national delegates from this
county He also had slated Heise to make in the New
Castle county caucus the speech nominating Salmon.
When Dick" Cam, of Red Lion hundred heard of

he could not go to Baltimore. Salisbury tried to
smooth Cam down. but he unable to do so Cam

Salmon and send Heisel to Baltimore Cam rallied
his forces and despite the protests OF Salisbury
and Heise they captured control Of the New Castle
county far as the Salmon issue was affected
Hoisel, in pursuance Of his pledge to Salmon and
Salisbury, got up in and nominated Salmon
Then Of the Cam faction nominated HeiseL The
vote taken and Heisel was elected. He went to
Baltimore with Salisbury and Salmon, went back to
the eastern end Of Pencader hundred TO suffer, but
in silence.
While in Baltimore Heisci followed the leadership
Of Salisbury consistently and was rewarded with
place on one Of the committees. He back home
well pleased with his experience.
u should not be understood in any that Hesel
dealt treacherously with Salmon in nominating him
for delegate and then accepting the election himself
lie played fair with Salmon even to the extent OF
voting for him when his election at stake
The Baltimore convention incident showed that
Salisbury regards Hesel of his eutenants and
gives color to the story that both Bayard and Heso
have been injected into the eubernatoria situation az
this time to assist in the work Of defeating Monaghan
and checking the spread OF Brady sentiment

has lent himself it probably will much
favorable comment among the od-time followers Of
the Bayard family did his action in consenting to
become follower of Salisbury. The understanding
is, however. that neither Bayard Heise desires to

ton In fact both blushingly deny the soft impeach-
ment that gubernatoria bees buzzing their bon
nets That, however is an old dodge OF dark horses.
