Claim Control Of Kent
Delegation
UPRISING AGAINST

While there we're no contests in this
county on Saturday for delegates to
the Democratic State convention to be
held in Dover tomorrow. Kent county
was the scene of some spirited dele
gate contests. AS a result of the clash
es at the polls. the followers OF Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson are claiming
that they have at least thirty-four of
the sixty delegates chosen from Kent.
The Clark men dispute this and say
the Kent delegation will be evenly
divided. Indications are, however, that
the Wilson men will control the dele
cation, and in fact will have the up
per hand in the State Convention
Two fights are in prospect in the
convention tomorrow. One will be
over a question Of instructing the six
National delegates to vote for Will
son in the National convention. The
other will be over the proposal 10
send Willard Salisbury as a delegate
to the National convention. Mr.. Sauls-
bury already is National committee

that Mr.. Salisbury stands good
