.
I'm A CONVENTION filled with
violent factionalism, the Demo-
cratic Party of Delaware last Tues
day nominated its state ticket to be
placed before the. electorate in No.
Yember. The, principal fight CEN
tered about the candidates for the
nomination of United States Sem
ator and Congressman-at-Large-
and in these two scraps the organ
ization and anti-organization
groups broke about even. After
having out maneuyered the organi-
zation leaders in the early stages of
the convention, and defeating them
on a call for a secret ballot, the
Hughes forces lost on the final ball
loting. Berl won the nomination by
the narrow margin of 108 to 101
votes. The organization forces
were trounced shortly thereafter,
however, when Earl Sylvester went
down to defeat before Philip Tray
nor by the vote of ITO to 9S. After
these, offices were filled Houston
Wilson was named candidate for
Attorney-Genera William Conwell
for InsuranceI Commissioner; Peter
Collins for State Treasurer, and
Thomas N. Stayton for Auditor of
Accounts by accIamation.
That all was not serene, how
ever, was indicated when a recess
was taken untiI after the dinner
hour in order that Ennals Berl,
Senatorial candidate, might address
die gathering. The fight assuredly
left sore spots which will be hard
to heal during the next few months
preceding the general elections.
The Republican Party of Della
ware most assuredly will enter the
fall campaign with a long edge if
they exercise good judgment and
avoid fight at their convention, in
Dover next Wednesday. This they
are expected to do. ts..se.

years. 1t would be whole lot better

more for preparedness of our people
