your party preference. Alfred e.
Smith, candidate for President on

the votes of dry people, irregardless
of party affiliation." A large crowd

Irwin C. King, of Milton, who won
the nomination for Representative
on the Republican ticket in the re-
cent primary election in the Tenth
District of Sussex
has resigned and Marshall
of Lewes, has taken his
place. Mr.. Kings withdrawal is big
to his many friends
here, but are pleased that the nomi-
nation passes to such a sterling
Tenth District" man as Mr.. aaz-
,ard, who will receive the united
support of all Republicans in the
district. Mr.. Kings reason for COM

would require too much of his time {
rom his business, saying, "That the
,osition of Representative should re-
eive the undivided attention of the
nan chosen, and 1 cannot afford to
leglect my business for so long a
