SPECIAL ELECTION

Sheriff w. o. johnson, of Sussex
county, has fixed Thursday, December
80, as the time for the holding of a
special election in the Seventh Repre-
sentative district, to decide who shall
&c representative in the General AS
sembly from that district.
AT the recent election, Elmer ].
Turner, Democrat, and w. c. Hick-
man, Republican, each received 763
votes. Governor Townsend last Satur-
day instructed Sheriff Johnson to call
special election for the purpose and
Sheriff Johnson on Monday. announced
the date.
According to the Republicans, Mr..
Hickman will have no trouble in the
second attempt, as the district is
strongly Republican. The contro-
versy over the school code proved
the dominating factor in the election
last month, and with the Presiden-
tial issue out of the way, Mr.. Hick-
mans friends say he cannot lose.
Since the election both Hickman
and Turner have been working quiet
ly among their friends, each hoping
to prove successful on the second at
tempt.
Upon the result will determine
which party will have a majority in
the House of Representatives, as the
Democrats and Republicans are
equally divided at present, with sew
enteen members each. Whichever wins
will also have the disposition of the
party patronage in the House, as well
as the presiding officer, and also the
printing that goes with the House
business.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS

Governor Townsend, last Wednes-
day, received the following telegram
from Charles Stewart Dawson, chair
man of the Board of Trustees of the
American Defense Society, New York
City:
"a rigorous nationwide campaign
to force the United States govern
ment to recognize Soviet Russia is
being made falsely in the name of
organized labor by such men as Har-
ry Weinberger of the Farmor Labor
party, Leonard MINI of the Independ-
ent Workers League, Edward /. Han
ma, and other radicals who opposed
the interests of the United States in
the great war. There is reason to be-
lieve the movement to promote COM
merce with Soviet Russia is backed
and financed by Lenine and Trotsky
and their agents in this country,
whose main object is the overthrow
of our government and the establish
ment of the Red Rule of Revolution.
"The American Defense Society ur-
ges you to call on the newspapers in
your state to thwart this new insidu-
Gus and dangerous propaganda of the
enemies of America. We will be glad
