son. State Treasurer Charles A. Hast
ings and State Auditor W. Poole
Prettym8n yesterday afternoon ana
went to their homes. There was not
much cheer in the crowds that attend
ed the convention. The greatest en-
thusiasm they attained was when For
mer Congressman /. Irving Handy was
called upon shortly after the opening
of the afternoon session and deliver
&c a stirring speech. Somehow an
other it was difficult natter TO get
the Democrats into the hurrah stage.
There was no feeling of optimism run
ming through the crowds. Factors
that helped the party to carry Della
ware two years ago did not seem so
promising to them yesterday. Hence
while some of the speakers made
brace show Of going on to victory"
the delegates were not so optimistic
about winning in November.
While an effort was made by some
of the Kent county and 2 few Sussex
county delegates to prevent the re-
nomination of Congressman Brock
son, because of dissatisfaction over
some postmaster appointments in the
two counties. the opposition dwindled
when the caucuses were held, and the
Congressman received an endorse
ment from the delegates Of each
county. Benjamin A Hazel, OF
Smyrna; DR.. j. NJ. Lofand and DR..
Lynn Pratt, of Milford. and E. Frank
Locates. of Delmar. were active in
trying TO undermine BrOckson, but
the complete downfall of the op-
position can best be shown by the
fact that Mr.. Hazel. after realizing
that BrocksOn would be victorious,
seconded his nomination in the Kent
county caucus.

PROTEST over REMOVAL
OF Came Fish FROM lake

Some sportsmen in this city are dis
gusted over the way game fish are being
taken from the lake alongside the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal. near
Canal bridge. The lake was partially
drained few days ago, leaving quanti-
ties of game fish flondering around in
the pools. Complaint is made that these
fish have been carried away by the bas-
ketsful, instead of being placed in deep
water.
Some fishermen today said they win
bring the matter TO the attention of
the State Game Commissioners.
