GLENDALE HAPPENINGS

. | from the DeaJluS WHO nJney lSCelV-
ed, but the fray was continued un-
til Democrats and Republicans were
fighting in every hotel bordering on
the square, and finally ended in the
square where both sides had con-
tinued the fight until they could not
fight any longer for want of
strength. 1t was said that George
town had more men with black eyes,
mashEd mouths and noses, scratch
ed faces than the county seat had
ever known at one time before. 1t
was not only the people soaked with
apple brandy who engaged in this
fight, but men who never drank
were in the front ranks of those en-
gagged in the encounter.
The fight at last ended; it was
fierce while it lasted, but soon peo-
pie who had been engaged in the
conflict were dancing together on
boards thrown on the sand, in an
old fashioned dance called in those
days "hoe down." something similar
to the Virginia reel. Democrats and
| Republicans, some with black eyes
and mashed noses, were dancing to-
gether as though they had always
| been friends, and had already for
gotten about the conflict in which
they had been engaged a few hours
before. The scTeaking old fddles
ground out some tune which one
could not tell whether it was "Ar-
kansas Traveller" or Yankee Doo-
die" it they were playing. 1t answer
ed the purpose and the only cry that
could be heard was ION with the
dance"
These were great times but we
will tell you more very soon about
the public square.
POlitical-DemOcratic
Governor Roosevelt seems to have
been able to win to his side all the
elements which were opposed to
his nomination. Those Democrats
had a perfect right to oppose his
nomination but when he won out in
fair fight it was their duty to sup
port him, which they are doing. 1t
looks now as if the Democrats
would present a united front and
the Republicans will have to be up
anu lOllS " OFGlEOlllG IT,
Some say that eX-Judge Morris
will not accept the nomination for
Governor on the Democratic ticket.
We feel sorry, TO- if there is one
man who could beat Governor Buck
that man is eX-Judge Morris. Other
candidates just as good may come !
forward after a while, but their
names do not appear on the sur
face at the present time.
We still feel confident that the
Democrats will make no mistake if |
they will nominate John Biggs, ,Tr.,
for Congressman. He is able and
would fill the office if elected in
such a manner that would not only
be a credit to himself but to the
people who elected him.
Republican
Both Republican and Democrats
are waiting to hear President Hoo
ver's letter of acceptance, which
will be issued August IL. People
are wondering what he will say
about the prohibition question. The
drys are hoping he will come out
squarely for the dry side, but we
very much doubt he will do so. We
will wait and see.
The fight between Governor Buck
and ex-State Senator Short seems to
be going on at the present time, but
if all accounts are true most of the
former adherents of Mr.. Short are
now taking passage in the Cover
nor's band wagon and soon Mr..
Short, himself, will be one of the
staunchest supporters of Governor
Buck; but how about General Eli
son and ex-State Senator Alice.
Will they mount the Governors
band wagon when it comes along?
Congressman Houston still says
his hat is in the ring. He may win ;
0ut, but we doubt it.
The Republican State Convention
will be held the early part of next {
month. We will have to wait and l
see what they will do. I
Base Ball I
A very interesting game of base $
all was played on the home &
grounds of the Milton Club on Sat |
lrday afternoon last. The score f
tood to in favor of Glendale. I
The Milton Club is considered one f
# the strong clubs of Sussex coun- t
y, and the Ellendale boys feel
lighly .elated that they were able +
o defeat the Milton boys. The Ell r
endale Club is composed of young f
nen of the highest type and are Il
nost expert in the game of base c
all and they are now ready to D
leet all comers. a
Crop n
The huckleberry crop in some t,
ections is very abundant and peo- d
lie made good wages in picking and e
elling these luscious berries. In fl
1is time of depression it is a God
end to the poor that they can keep O.
le wolf from the door by using this m
leans which is placed in their way. n
len, women and children are en- Il
aged in picking this crop and the d
eceipts from which goes in long m
ay to help feed those who are IL
ungry and also helps to clothe m
lose in need.
