ORANGES MAKE FINE
DISPLAYS At FAIR
More Than the Usual Amount Of
Effort Appears to Have Been
Expended This Year.

More than the usual amount Of effort
WAS apparently expended on the exhibits
of the Oranges OF New Castle and Kent
counties at the State Fair, Sussex being
unrepresented. First prizes were awarded
to West Brandywine Grange Of Talley-
vile and Trophy Grange of FELTON,, while
the red ribbons, indicating second
award, are faunted today by Harmony
Grange for New Castle county and
Milford Grange for Kent county Other
exhibitors were Rose Hill, Hockcssn
and Delaware Grange OF Newport.
The most striking single feature was
the large wide picture frame shown by
Delaware Grange, surrounding velvet
covered background of shelves on which
were arranged fruits, vegetables and
grains of contrasting colors IN very
effective fashion.
Harmony Oranges display was fankcd
by two figures, man and woman, HE
size, made from squashes, pumpkins and
other kinds of farm produce. Festoons
of Indian arrow and spear heads were
looped around the edges of the booth,
collected by members of the Grange
The West Brandywine Grange display
of preserved food products, seeds and the
like is shown in square jars of uniform
exhibit. Around these are arranged
samples of vegetables and grown crops
in an artistic manner, the whole sug-
costing an old mill-wheel. Edward Ryan
is responsible for this novel effect.
The Rose Hill Grange exhibit is in
pyramid form, and that Of Milford
Grange is diamond shape in plan. That
of FELTON, Grange carries out the rustic
feeling by liberal use of bark and other
naturally picturesque materials The
Hockessin stand stimulates log cabin.
The noteworthy feature of all the ex-
hibits is the team work shown by the
members both in contributing their choice
specimens Of all kinds of natural and
cultivated products, as raw material and
in various prepared form, and also in the
placing and arrangement Of the hundreds
Of separate articles which go to make up
each exhibit.

MANY REpuDrATE LAYTON.
Speaking of the election, politi ians pre-
dicted that DR.. Caleb II. Layton, the
Republican nominee for Representative
in Congress, will be "rebuked" by many
Republicans in Sussex county and Colonel
William ID. Denny, the Republican nomi-
nee for governor, will be "cut" by Re
publicans in Kent.
LOCAL REPUBLICAN CONTEST.
Many candidates for Republican nomi-
nation in New Castle county did consider
able political work.
Much interest was evinced in Frank
r. Jones' candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Levy Court Commissioner
from the First Levy Court district of
New Castle county. Politicians told a
story of Colonel J. Austin Ellison, chair
man Of the Wilmington Republican
Committee and backer of Walter Rash
for the Levy Court nomination, trying
to induce Mr.. Jones to withdraw from
the First district fight by promising"
him the shrievalty nomination. They
said Mr.. Jones Indignantly rejected the
proposal and remarked that Colonel
Ellison could not deliver the goods"
Announcem ent was made that Whining
ton Negroes are planning "hot meeting"
at which they will demand larger share
of public offices.

MANY POLITICIANS
DISCUSS CAMP PA|GN
At THE STATE FAIR
Democratic State Convention
Subject of the Largest Share
Of Speculation.
SOME SCHEMES FOR
REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

Hundreds of politicians, ranging from
the highest to the lowest degree of promi-
ncnce and representing all sections of
Delaware, attended the State Fair yes
terday. Among the most notable were
United States Senator Il. Heisler Ball,
Governor John G. Townsend, Jr., and
Colonel w. ID. Denny, Republican nomi-
nee for governor. Many devoted more
time to discussing politics than to noting
the excellence of the fair.
The quietness of the political campaign
was subject of comment. "Why don {

ticket evoked no enthusiasm. Making
Democratic nominations that will start

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Interest centered in the Democratic
State Convention, which will be held at
Dover next Tuesday Regarding the
result no one would hazard prediction.
Everything is high up in the air" many
politicians declared when considering
possibilities. Ii was the concensus of
opinion that the convention will not be
bossed. Hope was expressed that Will
mington will be given increased repre-
sentation.
A report that former United States
Senator Willard Salisbury had suddenly
returned from a vacation trip caused
conjecture as to what he contemplates
doing in the political campaign. Some
politicians said Mr.. Salisbury IS specially
Interested in the Democratic nominations
for Representative in Congress and gov
ernor. and that Andrew j. Lynch of
Georgetown is his first choice and Thomas
r. Bayard of Wilmington his second
choice for governor. Others declared he
desires rendering of the Congressional
nomination to Mr.. Bayard. William
B. Truitt of BridgcviIle, who also has
been proposed for governor, WAS classed
as a salisbury factionist A few politicians
thought the Democratic ticket would be
strengthened by giving MIR. Lynch the
Congressional nomination and Ezekiel
Cooper of New Castle county the guber-
Material nomination.
