z PRIMARIES FOR
NAYORALT Y RACE
If One Candidate Gets Majority
of All Votes Only One Will
Be Necessary.

The consensus of opinion among city
politicians today was that there would
be no more announcements for mayor
and that probably all the five cand-
dates now in the race would keep in
the running until the Democratic pri-
mary. 1t was agreed that there neces-
sarily will be a second primary be
tween the two candidates receiving the
shighest number of votes in the first
primary for the nominee for mayor
must receive a majority " all votes
cast.
With the adjournment of the egis-
lature in sight, the candidates today
were preparing formally to launch their
campaigns. The formal announcements
of Mayor VIM and Alderman John S.
Gambler that they will not center the
contest has greatly simplited matters.
But the alignment Of the different po-
litical forces still is complicated
Councilman Aldine Chambers has de
clared his platform to be progressive
ness in city affairs. He says the city
must have better streets and carry out
other big developments. He has been
pledged the support of a majority of
the council and other city officials.

HARRINGTON

While the election excitement is all
passed in and about Harrington, yet
: there is much thought given to the
question as to who shall succeed Sena-
tor Harry A. Richardson, Republican,
in the United States Senate from Della
ware. Sentiment among the leading
Democrats is almost unit that the Sc
lection should come from Kent county,
and that either Ex-senator Richard r.
Kenney, or Ex-Congressman L. Irving
Handy, should be chosen for that inn
pOrtant position. If the settlement of
the question was left to the Democrats
of the Ninth and Sixth Districts of Kent
county, the choice would be Kenney by
odds of three to one, but it is almost
the unanimous opinion of all Democrats
that Willard Salisbury is certainly not
ertitled to the honor.
B. F. Baker, who was a retired freight
conductor on the Delaware railroad,
died last week, and his remains were
inferred in Hollywood Cemetery near
Harrington last week. His was one of
the largest funerals held here in many
months; about sixty members of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen came in a
special car. and brought the most beau
tiful flowers which the people here ever
saw placed upon grave.
John Porter, who conducted a small
oyster box in Harrington, was found
last Friday in a woods near town by
Mr.. McCabe, who was out hunting. He
had shot himself through the forehead
while in a demented state. He was
taken to Wilmington, where the treat
ment was given at the hospital, but he
died on Saturday night. There was no
cause to suspect foul play.
Evidence of the approach of the holi-
day season is at hand, and the shipment
of poultry is the surest indication that

plies of Delaware for the Thanksgiving
feasts of the great cities. Shipments
of sweet potatoes are commencing to
go forward with the poultry, and both
are produced at their very finest about
