MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
IN STATE CONVENTION

The get -togeth idea dominated the
final action of the Republican State con-
vention at Baltimore on Tuesday last.
Things looked squally for party harmony
! nthe ranks of Maryland's G. o. P. for
some days prior to the conventions as
sembling. Roosevelt carried the State
in the preferential primary and the law
thereby compe!s the sixteen votes OF
Maryland to be cast for Roosevelt at
Chicago, so long as the delegates con-
scientiously believe his nomination pos
sible. The prospects of scrap arose
over the question of the selection of the
delegates who should go to Chicago and
cast the votes 1t so happened that
majority of the delegates in the State
Convention were personally favorable to
President Taft, although instructed by
their counties to vote for Roosevelt. 1t
was thereupon claimed that the Taft
people would select delegates to Chicago
to suit themselves. whereupon the
Roosevelt leaders responded with a de-
maud that all sixteen of the Chicago
delegates should be straight out Roose-
Welt men, declaring that they would
make fight for this as carrying out
the spirit Gf not the letter. of the pref
erential primary, and that if the Taft
people took the Chicago delegates away
from they they would have to do 1t by
grand larceny. Meantime it was be-
coming evident to wise and cool-headed
leaders, that the Republican party in
Maryland stood a mighty good chance
of being split wide open by internal dis
sensions over things that were not OF
very great Importance. 1t did not seem
a matter of such vital Importance who
should go to Chicago as delegates, see
ing that the primary law prescribed their
having to cast their votes for Roose-
gelt But it took a lot of smoothing
out to get the factional feelings, per-
sonal jealousies, etc, etc. into some
semb!ance of orderly adjustment, and
the result was not accomplished until
shortly before the Convention met. That
result was a division of the delegates,
so far as their personal preferences went,
between the Taft and Roosevelt
forcs. The National delegates and the
Presidential electors are as follows:

MOVING OF SMYRNA HOUSE
ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION
BRICK PARTOF THE OLD HOTEL
NOW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Work of Moving the Frame Portion to
the Foundation of the New Hotel
Began Early This Morning

Considerable Smyrna interest is
centered this week in the moving of
the frame portion of the old Smyrna
House to become a part of the new
hotel which will be named the
Hotel Goldsborough." Contract
or Merryman, despite the fact that
he has had only eighteen clear work
ing days since he took hold of the
job of razing the old Smyrna Huse,
has made a good showing. The
brick portion of the old hotel is
entirely gone, the cellar filled in
and ground leveled off. Everything
has been rszed except the back
frame building which is to be moved
up to and spliced to the Hotel
Goldsborough. formerly the Spru-
ance property on Commerce street
and long known as the home of DR..
G. o. Swinney. The moving of this
big, three-story building is exciting
much curious interest. All of this
week and part of last has been de-
voted to preparing the building for
removal and early this morning the
tedious tug began. Contractor
Marryman has a full equipment here
and IN use. The first tug resulted
in the breking of the rope under the
building and an hour or more was
consumed in getting things fixed
again. The moving of the building
is slow work at best but Contractor
Merryman hopes to get it on its new
foundation at the Hotel Goldsboro-
ugh by the end of this week. When
once in place, it will be a matter
of a short while before the new
hotel will be thrown open for busi-
ness. Messrs. J. P. Goldsborough
and George W. Turner are making a
number Of improvements in the
property which. when completed
will make a modern hotel in every
respect They hope to be ready
for business sometime between the
Goth of this month and the first of
May.

EASTER PROGRAM NEXT SUNDAY
Services at all Churches With Appro-
pirate Decorations and Special
Easter Anthems and Solos

Next Sunday is Easter Sunday
and all the churches in Smyrna will
have programs bearing on the day.
This week. Holy Week, Asbury M.
E. Church is holding extra services
nightly under the direction of Rev.
W. D. Parry, the minister. sThe
meetings may continue indefinitely
if sufficient interest is manifested.
Pastor Parry was forced to close his
revival meetings in February owing
to the severe cold weather. 1t has
been his custom to hold Holy Week
services in every charge he has been
and the meetings, it is hoped, will
continue into a revival. Next Sun
day Rev. Parry will preach special
sermons appropriate to the day. The
music, always a special feature on
Easter Day, will be directed bv
W. o. Hoffecker. The music will
consist principally of anthems as
most of Asbury's solo singers will
be out of town over Sunday. At
the Presbyterian Church the Rev.
J. E. Franklin, who is closing a
pastorate there. will preach special
sermons and a choir will render
special Easter anthems. St. Peters
Church, now without a rector, will
make as much as ever of the Easter
service. The Rev. DR.. Osborn, of
Philadelphia, will be here and con-
duct all services: 7.3O a. M. 10. 80
a. IN. and 7.S0 p. m. Special de-
eorations and special anthems will
feature the day. Good Friday
services will be held at 10. 80 a. m.

tral Committee at Dover and State
Convention Fixed for April 3Oth
The Democratic State Convention,
to elect delegates to the National
Convention to be held in Baltimore,
Md, will be held at Dover, Tues
day, April 80. This was decided at
a meeting yesterday of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee,
which also paved the way for State
party rules, which mater is again
to be considered at meeting of the
committee on April %. Some of
the members wanted the convention
April %, while some favored the
middle of May, therefore April 80
as compromise. There was not
much of fight and the business was
transacted with dispatch. The cues
tion of direct primaries, however,
was not discussed at length, the
matter virtually being left to a
subcommitte appointed by ssthe chair
man to report back to the State
committe on April %. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resovled, That as there are vir-
tually no written rules governing
our party in reference to State
matters, such az the State central
committee. State convention, etc.
therefore be it Resolved, That the
Chairman of the State Central
Committee appoint a committee
consisting of two members from
each county to draft a set of rules
governing our party as set forth in
the preamble hereof, and that the
said committee report the result of
its labors to the State committee
with such recommendation as it
may deem proper. The chairman
then appointed this committee: New
Castle county, D. C. DuRoss,
Chauncy Holcomb; Kent county,
William Salisbury, R. R. Kenney !;
Sussex county, DR.. Francis E.
Samson, J. M. Tunnell. The COM
mittee organized by the selection of
Kenney as chairman and Holcomb
secretary. All of the fifteen mem
bers of the committee were either
represented in person or proxy,
with but three exceptions. All of
the county chairmen were also
present.
