Dover lively place for Democrats for
a day.
In addition to'an expected big fight
over the allotment OF offices for the
State ticket the demands Of Whining
Ton Democrats for increased represen-
iatiOn In State conventions VIII put
plenty OF pep" I'm the convention
proper, as IL Is mora than likely this
fight Will be taken TO The convention
floor The subject Of increased repre-
senialiOn for Wilmington will be one
of The matbrs TO come before the
State Committee Monday evening. but
as any change in representation would
nccessillte a change Of the party
rulis, bhis would have to be done by
the convention. Wilmington delegates
Will make the argument that the city
with half tho population Of the State
should at least4ave as many delegates
as rural New astle, Kent and Sussex
counties which IS 30. DOwn-State
members OF the party will oppose the
proposition OF 30 delegates for VIII
minglon and there Is talk Of a COM
promise giving the city five or six for
each representative district which
would moaCn p or 30 delegates
This proposed increased representa-
tiOn for Wilmington. however, Is only
a small part OF The trouble that seems
10 be looming ahead for the leaders.

| time Democratic scrap when 1t
comes to picking the State ticket. Sus-

/ plenty Of candi.ltes from SUSSEX men,
| TONED, but no one TO date seems to
stand out sufficiently for a majority
Of the party in that county to center
on.

town, has been mentioned on numer-
ous occasions, but some OF mis- friends
