DEMOCRATS DISCUSS
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
Four Mentioned for Congress and
Two for Attorney
General.

With the understanding that the nomi-
nation for governor on the Democratic
ticket goes to Sussex county man,
Democrats of New Castle county are dis
cussing men for Congress and attorney
general. If the Sussex countians shall not
he able TO name a strong candidate, all
plans may be changed and the guber-
material candidate may come from the
upper part of the State, but first choice
will be given the lower county.
There are four men whose names are
being banded about among their friends
as likely candidates for the congressional
nomination. They are Peter ]. Ford,
Thomas +. Bayard, John Malloy and
Thomas +. Gormley. Each man named
has his group of friends. who think that
he should be the one chosen and each
unit has its own respective arguments
Among those mentioned for attorney
general are Richard Rodney and James
salisbury.
Some of those being talked about for
Congress and encouragement have said
they are not seeking Office, but their
friends are proceeding on the assumption
that If things begin to shape up for them,
that they would not turn down the honor.
The Democratic City Committee will
meet Wednesday evening. There is little
business TO be discussed. All things are
pending the arrival home of some OF the
delegates TO the national convention.
After that it is said things will begin TO
move more rapidly.

SUFFRAGISTS ALARMED.

Washington, July 12.-Suffrage lead
ers here are alarmed over their inability
TO move forward with the proposed
Nineteenth amendment. They see IN the
situation real danger of backward move
ment The plans for ratification IN Ten
nessee and North Carolina are on the
rocks.
In quiet but desperate tight the suffs
and the ants are contending for the adj
vantage in Tennessee and North Carolina.
Woman is arrayed against woman. while
men stand off and look on. The early
promise of favorable action in those two
Southern States aroused the opponents Of
Woman Suffrage.
Those behind the anti-Suffrage cam
paigns in North Carolina and Tennessee
are: Mrs. James ". Wadsworth. Jr, wife
of Senator Wardsworth of New York
Anna katherine Green. Elizabeth Ogden
Wood Margaret C. Robinson, and a small
army of field workers now in those States
spreading "anti-Suffrage poison. The
Woman Patriot. published by the Woman
Patriot Publishing Company, of Wash
ington, the org1, of the ants, is pointing
the way to victory.
The ants assert that their opponents
are blocked in North Carolina and Ten
nessee. 'But not only poll of the North
Carolina) Legislature indicates certain
rejection. but the Suffragists are actually
eonceding defeat" they claim.
The suffrage fights in North Carolina
and Tennessee are to be to the last ditch.
The ants, under the banner of Mrs.
Wadsworth, have done their most sue
cessful work in these two hotly contested
Southern States.
Successful in preventing ratification
of the suffrage amendment before the
November election, the ants believe they
can hold back "votes for women" in
definitely.

Spa, Belgium, July 12.-The allied
ministers attending q conference here
with the Germans arc not favorably i'm
pressed by n reparations plan submitted
by the Germans The prevailing view,
the correspondent was informed today
is that the plan il somewhat indefinite

The plan now before tho conference is
considered substitute for the original
plan which the Germans are withholding
because they were not given satisfaction
on the coal question.
Trouble over the coal question may pro-
long the conference. The feeling in French
circles is said to be that the conference up
to the present time has been without
fruitful result
The allied premiers met today 20 dis
ctiss the German reparations proposition
and the question Of priority in coal de-
livcries. Pending this discussion the Ger
man delegates were kept waiting.
