DOVER, Del, Aug 21.-Republicans
of Delaware in state convention yes
: terday afternoon nominated a state
ticket that everybody who participated
i in the convention, confidently believed
will be elected in November On all
sides the ticket nominated was COM
mended as one of the strongest the
Republicans of Delaware have named
o in many years With Senator Miller
chosen as the partys standard bearer
tor governor when he was not even a
candidate for the place IL is predicted
that he will be acceptable to most of
the voters in the. state who are admir-
ers Of Colonel Roosevelt for President,
as we'll as the entire rank and file Oh
the Republican party Senator Miller's
nomination Is all the more gratifying
when it is realized that he was chosen
after Kent county could not unite on
a nominee for Governor and after Sus-
sex county, solidly with one exception,
threw its strength 10 him and after
some of the Kent delegates also voted
for him. Senator Miller's single term
IN the higher branch Of the legislature
demonstrated that he is a brOad-mind-
ed, progressive Republican, man who
IN ninety days az Dover, won the
hearts Of residents of the lower ooun-
ties
General George II. Halls nomination
for Representative in Congress was
. equally pleasing and was made only
/ after a spirited contest between Con-
gressman William Fl. Heald and Mr..
Hall, the latter winning by a vote OF
80 to Co. Twenty New Castle county
delegates threw their support to MIR.
Hall. The opposition to Mr.. Heald for
third term was pronounced in the
lower counties. Nothing was urged
against him personally, but on the
contrary, he was admitted to be a Re-
publican of high character and ability,
but il was deemed inexpedient politi-
cally by those leading the contest
against him, to renominate him this
year The opposition chiefly was led
by former Judge Daniel o. Hastings,
Sylvester d. Townsend. Jr., and Hugh
c. Browne of Wilmington, Representa-
tive Everett c. Johnson, editor of the
Newark Post Ruby R. Vale Of Milford
and d. Miffiin Wilson of Dover.
Other nominations on the ticket
were made after spirited contests, ex-
cepting that of State Auditor Theodore
Townsend. who was nominated by ac-
clamation. And on all sides there was
nothing but praise for the personnel
Of the ticket and predictions that it is
a winner.
OLD-TIME CONVENTION.
IL was an old-time convention II
demonstrated among other things that
the throwing Of nominations into an
open convention is a satisfying plan
for there was a manifest disposition
among all the delegates to be fair tc
all the counties, to give each section
OF the State fair representation on the

Cams Must Beat
These Three Stars
To WIN Title.

JOE WOOD. the Boston pitcher.
VINO leads tho American League
Sirlers md who Il expected to he
10 main power against the Giants.
Is u right handler. So far this sea-
son he has won 33 games and has
lost .. In the post-season series be-
tween the Giants and tho lied Sox
four years ago he was beaten AMI
also scored victory. Ito Is noted
for his wonderful speed. his most of-
'cctive delivery having been dubbed
he "Smok shall" lie also has q good
,urve and remarkable slow ball.
II. COLLINS. tho only left handler
~ the Red Sox. who II expected to DO
IN obstacle In the way OF tho Giants.
~ a terror to left handed batters
throughout tho American League.
The Giants do not relish southpaws
md for that reason II Is believed
nat Collins will be worked as sre-
aiently AS Wood. Collins has a
great curve. and for a let-hander
has wonderful control. During the
season now closing he has won IL
games and los. Z. lie has been q
great reserve man. however. and has
been used IN % games.
BEDIENT. one of tho star pitchers
OF the Red SOx. II not veteran by
any means. though lac is considered
ono OF the coolest and most reliable
men on Tho star In times OF trouble.
This IL shown by the fact that he has
been used IN 40 games. Tho ofiicial
records credit him with having won
10 games and lost nine. That does
not iakc into account tho number OF
times that he has gone In and saved
games for other pitchers. Bedient
Is noted for his control. lie can con-
troll curve ball as well as fast
one. and the fact that h. takes u
chance on curve balls At critical mo-
ments accounts for much OF his sue
cess.
