4TH CLASS POSTMASTERS
FOR STATE AGREED ON

The filling OF vacancies expectant and
otherwise, in fourth class postmaster
ship in Delaware, is and has been the
subject of considerable thought on the
part of Senator Willard Salisbury and
Representative Franklin Brockson.
Every locality had its list of candidates
and in nearly all instances each of them
sized up so far as Democratic fealty in
disputable efficiency were concerned,
and these conditions, naturally, made
the selection of aspirants for joint recon-
mendabOn more difficult, of course The
civil service examinations have been
held and the examiners have made their
respective reports, but after all, pOliti-
cal preferments and appointments, like
kissing, go by favor, or, as in these in
stances. by recommendation. In each
locality examiners report the three high
est in point of successful rating and up
on the basis of their reports Senator
Salisbury and Representative Brockson
have taken joint action, the result of
which is the selection of the following
list of persons whom they recommend
for immediate appointment as fourth
class postmasters in the district noted
herewith
Dagsboro, Edward F. Reynolds Ellen

FIREMEN MAKE COMPLAINT.

The fremen of Milford feel that the
people of this town are not aiding them
in the proper manner in securing money
with which to purchase an automobile
chemical engine. They are pointing out
that when minstrel shows or something
of that character come to Milford, and
take hundreds of dollars away from the
town, the building is filled but when
entertainments are given for the benefit
of the firemen very small number re-
spond. The firemen are giving their
services to the town, and are working
for a worthy cause. 1t is up to you, the
people of Milford, to wake up and get
busy.

SNOW On WEDNESDAY.

The people of this section were some
what surprised on Wednesday morning
last when they awoke to find the ground
and housetops covered with a light fall

tically all morning, by noon almost all
traces of the snow had disappeared. Ac-
cording to old weather prophets very
little snow will fall this winter.

-NGkAY'S NAME Will
STAY ON TICKET

This afternoon the Supreme
court handed down the decision in
the squabble of candidates for the
Republican nomination for attorney
genesal.
The opinion of Justice McCarran,
cDhcurred in by Chief Justice Tai
bot, holds that there was nothing
specifically prohibited by statute
which would prohibit a party from
withdrawing until he had received
the nomination, hence a s neither
.Gott nor Mckay was nominated
when Gott endeayored to withdraw
he should have been permitted to
do soIbut his withdrawal immed-
lately made Mckay the nominee of
his party by reason Of the provis-
ions Of subdivision 9 Of section Ia
of the primary act which provides
that when there is no contest for an
Office any party who has fled his
nomination papers becomes his
party nor1inee.
For the foregoing reasons the
writ prohibiting the secretary of
state from certifying the name OF
springmeyer as a candidate for the
nomination OF the Republican party
Of the Office Of attorney general.
also prohibits the secretary Of state
from allowing the nhme Of r. A.
Mckay to be withdrawn. A writ
