years the Slav has employed the medi-

democrats, has so intensified the Bit
terness between the Wolcott and
salisbury factions Of the party that
they predict It will endanger Senator
WolcOtts chances for denomination
1or the office OF United States Senator
two years hence.
Former Senator Salisbury had rep
resented Delaware on the Democratic
National Committee for twelve years,
and his political friends contended
that under all conditions. taking into
consideration the fact that Senator
Wolcott will attend the California
convention as a delegate, the former
Senator was entitled to be continued
as National committeeman.
There were several stormy moments
during the convention when factional
bitterness was displayed. A move to
make the election OF Senator Wolcott
as National committeeman unanimous
was blocked when Michael Donlin. OF
The Fourth ward, Wilmington, ueclln-
ed to consent. stating he would never
