Delaware Democrats are on the ANXIOUS
bench relative to the appointment OF n
nudge for the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware to succeed
Judge Bradford, whose resignation will
take effect on May 20 A number of
prominent Democratic attorneys have
been mentioned, but nothing has come
from Washington to Indicate who rs under
consideration there The nominee, 1t
is presumed will have the Endorsement
of one or both of the Delaware senators.
Among those mentioned are the two
Democratic members Of the State bench,
Judges Boyce and Hciscl. II one OF them
should be selected the State vacancy
would bc filed by an appointment by
Governor Townsend, who. though
Republican, would hc required to name
Democrat number of other prominent
Democratic lawyers have been mentioned,
including j. Harvey Whlteman of vii
mington. in whose behalf petition IS
beng circulated III this county; City
Solicitor Thomas +. Bayard. former
Congressman l.. Irving Handy OF Smyrna
and James II Hughes of Dover.
In view of the fact that some rivalry
has developed diplomacy will hc neces-
sarv in order to avoid a party ruction

is made before the Democrats nominate
their candidate for Senator 1t may have
some bearing on the action OF the conven-
