SONS OF DELAWARE
VISIT DOVER
Planked Shad Dinner at Hotel Richard
son. Met at Dover Station With 40
Automobiles and Went On Sight
Seeing Tour.

! The second visit to Dover within three
years of the Sons of Delaware on the
occasion of their annual planked shaC
dinner, which occurred there on Satur
day last, was an occasion not soon to
be forgotten by the Philadelphians.
The guests arrived there shortly be-
fore o'clock. Forty or more auto
{ mobiles were in waiting to convey them
on the sightseeing tour arranged, to-
gether with some surprises that no one
but the committee had been apprised
of.
After viewing the different places of
interest in Dover proper, the visitors
were taken to the farm of D. M. Will
son, secretary and treasurer of the
Delaware railroad, near Dover, where
feast eft for king" had been spread
on two large tables on the Wilson farm
lawn. The guests remaining on the
farm twenty minutes and then took up
the line of parade and passing through
Dover, drove out through the 'Apple
Belt'' including the farms of S. H.
Derby, F. NJ. Soper and Frank G. Ban
croft. At Magnolia, F. NJ. Soper, had
a barrel of his famous winesap apples
opened for the visitors.
Upon the return trip to Dover, the
new State Capitol was visited and an
inspection made of the improvements.
The shad dinner took place at the
Hotel Richardson at O'Clock.
After dinner, w. w. Smithers,
president of the society, acting as toast
master, introduced the Hon. William
H. BOyce, of the State Courts of Della
ware to make the address of welcome.
President Smithers in the way of re-
sponse thanked Judge Boyce for the
welcome.
Judge Victor B. Woolley also deliv-
cred an address.
Whatever may have been the record
of the State in the past politically, the
political conditions in the State are
better now than they were and we
hope may continue so. As Delaware
was the first State in the Union to adopt
and ratify the Constitution assure you
that she will be the last one to abandon
it, " Judge Woolley said.
Judge WOOlley's remarks were met
with applause.
John G. Gray dwelt. largely on the
hospitality and patriotism of /!
the people of Delaware.
Frank Fisher, of Philadelphia, be-
ng called upon for speech stated that
le thought proper recognition of the |
services of the Dover people would be
through a set of resolutions to be drawn
md adopted by the Board of Governors
If the Society, which was afterwards
,rdered.
During the dinner an orchestra un-
Ter the direction of A. V. Lightbourne
played special selections. Two of the
at the Dover Opera House
'audeville, also gave several song Sc
ections.
The Philadelphia party left Dover at
O'Clock on their return trip.

MARYLAND'SVOTE
WAS CLOSE.
Roosevelt Gets 66 State Dele
gates to So For Taft.
CLARK HAS EASY VICTORY
Presidents Chairman Insists That His
Friends Will Control Republican
Convention.

Complete unofficial returns from the
; Maryland primaries gave Theodore
Roosevelt sixty-six delegates, or one
more than the number necessary tC
control the state convention.
! Democratic primary returns, with
only five precincts missing, gave CLARK
81, Wilson A, and Harmon T.
President Taft's friends express a
doubt about only one county credited
/ by these returns to Colonel Roosevelt.
John B. Hanna, chairman OF the Re
publican state central committee and
a Taft leader, said that he was in
doubt about the figures received from
Howard county, which on the face of
the returns went for Colonel Roose-
welt by a majority Of eighty. The Taft
managers had no other figures to Of
fer, but said they wishes to investi-
gate the count there more closely.
Complete returns from Howard
county received from separate sources
by the three Baltimore newspapers
give Roosevelt a majority varying from
80 to SO.
Figures collected Independently by
the Roosevelt committee give Colonel
Roosevelt a majority of SO. The Taft
committee has announced no figures.
All the other counties carried by
Colonel Roosevelt gave him majorities
running from 400 to 1900
Mr. Hanna said he had received no
evidence that warranted asking for a
recount and let it be understood that
he made no claims for Taft outside of
the possible doubts he felt about the
result in Howard county. He expressed
the opinion, however, that the presi-
dents friends would control the state
convention.
While not admitting this, the ROose-
welt people assert that the personality
of the state delegates will cut no fig
ure. 1t is impossible to make any
clean-cut division Of the state delega- |
ton. because the primary tickets car
ried the delegates names without de-
signation to show their sympathies for |
one candidate or the other, and many |
Of them are uncommitted
Colonel Roosevelt's supporters point |
out that sixty-six delegates to the |
state convention will insure him six |
teen votes at Chicago, and declare
that the instruction that these dele
gates shall continue to vote for him
Itnil they conscientiously believe he
cannot be nominated are as binding
IS the instructions imposed upon ma
ional delegates from any other state.
Only one county. Garrett. remained
Il doubt on the Democratic count and
he result there cannot change the re-
ult. If this county goes for Clark, as
S now indicated, he will have eighty
me delegates compared with forty
our for G -ernor Wilson and four for
Governor Harmon. Clark's majority
n the state convention on this basis
would be thirty-three
Later estimates slightly reduced
popular majority on the
tatewide preference to 5000 and
'lark's plurality over Wilson to 1850
The Republican delegates chosen a
he primaries will name sixteen dele
ates to Chicago at the state cOnven-
ion, May a. The Democratic state
on May IS, will select
lirty-two national delegates, each
nth half a vote.

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS,.
Possible to Raise That Planted as
Late. as May rs.

Many inquiries have been received by
the Department of Agriculture from
southern cotton planters as to the pos
sibil.ty of raising a cotton crop this
year in the flooded districts. This is
because early cotton planting is one of
the features of raising crop in the boil
weevil region. The Secretary of Agri-
culture has replied that owing to the spe-
cial conditions created by the floods II
will be possible to raise cotton planted as
late as May %. The floods doubtless will
have reduced the weevil i'm numbers. but
1t is not hoped that the insect is by
any means cleared out of the flooded dAs-
tricts.
