Political Matters

sentative on the DemOCTdllC tlCASt
the County primary promises to be a
lively time. Senator Wilbut E
Jacobs and former Representative
Walter ]. Paskey have occupied po-
sitions at Dover on previous occa-
sions and represent two different
actions of the party, while Lewis
laughter and Earl Sylvester, younger
men in the Democratic ranks are al
so aspiring for the job. 1t is only
natural for party workers to sup
port the candidate endorsed by their
leaders,. but it is conceded that Syl-
vester will command many votes
from the younger Democrats and the
independent voters, so that after the
primaries some of the Old-timers in
the harness may be surprised. Earl
Sylvester seems to be conducting an
independent campaign. Having been
actively connected with the Ameri-
can Legion since the World War
he has been in a position to render
much aid to needy veterans of this
vicinity. He has spent much OF his
own time and personal funds to do
these things. He now comes before
the people seeking a public office.
Unlike most candidates he has for
mulated his own platform, and makes
an appeal to the voters on thee
point program: First, an efficient
and economical State administra-
ton, (this applies to the cost of the
Legislature); Second, an appTopria-
tion sufficient to drain Kent County;
Third, Equitable distribution of the
gasoline tax between State and
County, thereby enabling Kent Cuun-
ty to improve the dirt roads from
proper source of income and not
from property tax. Mr.. Sylvester
believes the latter will reduce the
County taxes. A contest is also
looming to get control of the dele
gates to the State Convention, Tues
day, September 11th. Fred Bailey,
Clarence Morris, Herbert Denney
representing one faction, with Lewis
Clymer, William Stokes and Charles
Peek with the other faction.

more of the plans for the coming
