ator from the Second Senatorial Dis
trict, to finish the unexpired term of
Senator George B. Insley, deceased.
Lord was opposed by Stanford Locates
"a farmer, living between Laurel and
Millsboro, and was beaten by % votes
in one of the hottest Republican pri-
mary elections ever held in this dis
trict. During Lords term in the Leg
islature Woman's Suffrage was an is
sue, and he was one of the members
who fought ratification. The women of
his home district had not forgotten
this, nor had his male opponents, who
used this argument against him. Not

made a great fight, and when the re-
suits in East and West SeafOrd and
Broad Creek were made public Le-
Gates was leading by only three votes.
