tional Progressive nominee for Con-
gresham. This announcement was

Mr.. Townsend was in Wilmington
this morning, and when seen at the
Hotel Wilmington he said he had no
further statement to make beyond his
letter TO Mr.. White, which he said set
forth his position, and which was
made public with his permission. Col
onel Townsend said that nobody wish
ed more than he to see Delaware

Colonel Townsend's letter declining
TO accept the Congressional nominal
tion was written TO Mr.. White eight
days ago. but it was learned today

was held yesterday. with no compro
mise being reached as 10 a Congress

Ohios former Senators Quay, of
Pennsylvania, former Representative

spect and reflected credit on the men
who participated in IT, The process
sion headed by the members of City
Council in automobiles and Grand
Marshal W. E. Stover, moved from
Fourth and French streets proptly at
s o'clock. The different organizations
fell in line from their place of forma-
ton without a slip-up and the column
moved without a hitch.
The parade was reviewed by Cover
nor Pennewill and Mayor Howell
from the grand stand in front OF the
City Hall and as each organization
passed the marchers paid their re-
spects TO the executive.
The parade passed down French
street to Front, to Market to Tenth,
to Delaware avenue to Broome, coun-
termarch to Madison street to Fourth
to Washington street and there dis

marchers an opportunity of seeing
each other, although the head of the
line had turned in Madison street be-
fore the end of the parade passing out

oughfare.
All along the line of march red
fire was burned and in dark sections
OF street in Delaware avenue and
Madison streets these lights came in
very useful. The Odd Fellows lodges
by reason Of being the Oldest organ

right of line and they made splendid

mains to be seen. but some of the Ma
tional Progressive leaders this morn
ing declared that they will not place
General Hall on their ticket, but will
either place another Progressive in
Colonel Townsend's place or possibly
take down the entire ticket. Some OF
the Progressive leaders are far from
pleased because the Republicans are
not urging General Hall to withdraw
in favor of Colonel Townsend or some
other Progressive for Congress, mas
much as the Progressives took the en-
time Republican State ticket except
ing the Taft electors and the Con-
gressional nominee.
One report in circulation today was
that George w. Perkins, Roosevelts
National manager. was taking a hand
in the Delaware situation and had
sent word to some of the National
Progressive leaders that they would
have to place another Progressive on
their ticket for Congressman should
Colonel Townsend retire. or the
Roosevelt electors would be taken
down from the ticket and II would
receive no support from the National
Progressive organization in New York.
According to the report, Mr.. Perkins
went 80 far as TO express a preferences
for Senator L. A. Drexler to be put
on the ticket should Colonel Towns
end get out
The National Progressive State COM
mittee will have a meeting in few
days TO consider the situation. There
was a feeling today among many who
knew Of the situation that unless a
compromise Is reached on Congress-
man the chances of electing the Re-

Militia Heads Splendid

BUSINESS HOUSES
SHOW FINE FLOATS

How many thousands of people
we're on the street yesterday after
noon to view the big military and in
dustrial parade, the first real parade
of the "Old Home Week" celebration
would be hard to estimate but It is
safe to say that a majority of the resi-
dents of the city in addition to the
estimate of about 10000 visitors in
the city yesterday, saw the demon
stration.
There was only one disappointment
and that was the inability of General
4. Coleman DUPONT, grand marshal,
10 take his place at the head of the
line He was unable to do so because
of illness. He has been i'll since
Tuesday but went to the place of the
parade formation yesterday fully in
tending to head the parade but was
compelled to hurry home owning to
another attack. Major William G.
Ramsey, of the General Staff Organ
lied Militia of Delaware, appointed as
one of the aides to General DUPONT
was selected to fill the vacancy.
The line was headed by the eight
companies of the Organized Militia of
Delaware and back of them marched
the Delaware College cadets in their
new khaki uniforms, accompanied by
the colleges own band. Then came
Companies B and c, Sixth Regiment,
Pennsylvania National Guard of Ches-
ter in dress uniforms. It was intend
ed to have the squadron of mounted
students from the Pennsylvania Mill
tary College appear in a body but the
young men superbly mounted were
designated for more useful duty, that
Of keeping the line straight They
were distributed all along the line
and gave excellent service.
Beautiful Floats in Line.
The second, third and fourth divi-
sions included the industrial part of
the parade, and this was the best ever
seen in the city. Music was lacking
however, but the beautifiA floats In
line held the attention Of the peo-
pie.
The Water Department and Street
and Sewer Department made displays

distance, and containing all the
machinery and equipment OF the de-
partmeut that could be moved
including three steam rollers
These rollers had a difficult time
