General T. Coleman du Pont won a
splendid victory at the Republican
primaries last Saturday in Sussex
county, all of the AZ delegates elected
being for him for National Commit
teeman. At the same time the organ
ization forces completely routed the
differentiation forces led by ex-
Senator l. DOlphus Short. In Milford a
compromise had been effected between
the two factions and there was no
| fight, but at Lincoln, the second cleo
tiOn district of the First Representa-
tive District, a lively fight resulted in
the rOut of the Short forces. More
votes were cast in the primary cleo
tion by the Republicans last Saturday
at Lincoln than were cast at the last
general election by both parties The
organization forces beat. the anti
crowd by approximately a to / vote,
their majority being 228 votes Sena-
tor Short had made a strenuous effort
to win this district, which is his home
district, but the organization forces
early lined up the workers against
him.

Committee from the Sixth District by
majority of 154 votes.
