From Passing to DEM
OCratS
POLITICAL NOTES
OF BOTH PARTIES

Much activity is manifested among
Republicans, and despite the division
OF sentiment over the Presidential
nomination, there is general inclin-
alton Of Republicans to turn in and
elect the State county and legislative
tickets and prevent Delaware being
turned over to Democratic control. Re
publicans generally do not care TO
turn the State over to Democrats to
enact partisan legislation In o. der to
keep that party in power for years.
The Republican leaders are much
pleased with the registration results
thus far, indicating no lack of inter-
est on the part OF the Republican rank
and file
Candidates we're nominated last
night as delegates to the Republican
State convention, at Dover, in the
Fourth and Ninth wards. In the
Fourth ward the meeting was he'd at
Ill East Fourth street and the follow
ing were nominated delegates. Harvey
j. Wigglesworth. J. Hadley Lewis and
Michael Palese Alternates named
were: Jacob Scheife. Isaac Chase and
George Morris.
In the Ninth ward six delegates
were nominated Of which four are to
be elected Those nominated were:
George Fisher, George W Baldwin,
Elwood II. Brown James l.. Hawkins,
John W. Stotser and W. r. Weir The
alternates nominated We're: John En-
erson, Thomas Holt, George L. Wat
son and James G.. Jones.
Out For PrOthonOtary.
Joseph Wigglesworth, former secre-
tary of the Board OF Health and a
we'll known Republican, announced
yesterday that he would be a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
prothorotary.
Joseph Konitzer, of No. 502 Pine
street, has announced that he is a
candidate for delegate to the Demo-
cratic state Convention. Mr.. Konitzer
favors the nomination of Senator
Monaghan for Governor.
Referendum Leagues stand
T. r. Thomas, secretary of the Ref
orendum League OF Delaware, speak
ing of the fact-that some Of the
League are in contests for delegates
20 the state Convention, says that the
League is not taking any part in put
ting up candidates for any political
party
THE League is strictly a non-par-
tisan organization and is not respon-
sible for the individual actions of its
members" says Mr.. Thomas. On the
other hand the League does not at
tempt to interfere with its members
IN their party affiliations. The only
part the League will take i'm this cam
paign, as a body, will be TO submit a
set of questions to each and all the
