TO ELIMINATE PRIMARIES

The Kent County Democratic Com
mittee at a largely attended meeting
at Dover last week decided by an al
most unanimous vote, to return to the
county convention system for nomi-
mating candidates for county and dis
trict offices instead of the direct pri-
maries.
The direct primaries have been tried
in Kent county for several years and
while at first apparently proving salts
factory there has been feeling for
the past few years that it has not
worked satisfactory. Hence the re-
turn to the old system of county con-
vention.
The committee also endorsed the
action of the Democratic members of
the legislature in their effort to bring
about an economical condition Of af-
fairs both in county and state, and
urged the Democratic members to
continue their efforts in this regard.

PLAZA THEATRE GETS
PARAMOUNT PICTURES
Greatest Screen DeliVerances to be
Shown in Milford.

Announcement was made today by
]. e. Lewis, manager of the Plaza
Theatre, that negotiations have just
been completed with the Washington
offices of the Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation for the entire output of
Paramount pictures and that these
pictures will be shown regularly at
the Plaza Theatre.
In the opinion of dramatic critics
throughout the country Paramount
pictures that are. to be released at
coming future dates evidence the ad-
vancements that are being made in
motion picture production and be-
cause of this COmpany's unlimited re-
sources, every new invention is me-
chanical equipment, the works of the
worlds greatest writer's, stars and di-
rectors are, blended into the one brand
of pictures which are epoch making
in motion picture entertainment.
It is the ambition of Mr.. Lewis to
present these pictures to the people
of this community ut approximately
the same time they are released and
t the same time they are enjoying
their initial presentations throughout
the country. Mr.. Lewis is credited
with the distinction of being an ag-
gressive and energetic Snowman and
he attributes his success to his untir-
ing endeavors to afford his patrons
with the very best pictures the market
affords.
The public is demanding bigger and
better pictures and with the public's
wishes foremost in the minds of the
production department of Paramount
their entire facilities are being effect
ed in producing the ultimate in "pic-
lures that the people want to see."
Mr.. Lewis feels perfectly secure
that his patrons will be content to re-
main in Milford when desirOus of see
ing good pictures shows and that his
efforts will be to show every Para
mount picture as soon after its re-
lease as it is physically possible to
obtain them.
