OF WOLCOTT, TOO

In an effort to prevent the nomina~
ton Of Senator Thomas M. Monaghan
for Governor, certain Democrats are
now advocating that the nominee be
selected from one OF the lower coun-
ties. IL is realized by some OF
Monaghan's opponents that he is de-
veloping much strength and may not
only get practically a solid delega-
tion from Wilmington. but several
delegates from the rural county,
Hence the plan OF deadlocking tho
New Castle county caucus and throws
ing the nomination into open conven-
tion is being talked over.
