Many of the politicians in and around !
Lewes and RehobOth are not taking the
announcement of DR.. VIM. A. Parker's
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
hOn for sheriff seriously, but as a joke,
but such should not be the case, for he
IS an avOwed candidate for the place,
and there Is every indication that he will
go into the convention with a strong
delegation behind him. Although prac-
tically young in the political game, he
has already begun to open some of the
Old-time politicians eyes and they are
already expecting trouble from him as
It will be only question of time when
he viii succeed in wrestling his district 5
from them. At present there is no !
other aspirant for the nomination except
the party's nominee last campaign, Jas q
Dukes, of Millville. Unless Dukes is
withdrawn, Parker expects to go into S
The convention with his gloves off.
