Democrats Plan
Night Convention
Innovation Expected To
Attract Party Faithful
August oath

The Democratic State COnven-
tiOn in Dover on August "a will be
featured this year by an evening
session, when the state ticket will
be nominated at a meeting in the
field house of the Dover High
School, the Democratic State Com
mittee, decided at a meeting this
week.
Reason for this departure from
the schedule of previous years is
to permit farmers, business, pro-
fessiOnal men and workers in in
dustry to swell the attendance at
the nominating session it was
pointed out. The same evening
necessitates use of the field house
rather than the Capital Theatre
where previous conventions we're
held, because the latter building
must be vacated before evening
/ shOwings begin.
Caucuses of various counties will
be held in separate classrOoms OF
the Dover High School, beginning
at p. m, and the convention prop
er will start at 3 p. m. It will re-
cess about p m, when dinner
will be served by the Democratic
WOmen's Club in the high school
cafeteria. Convention sessions viii
resume at 8 p. m, when most Oi
the speeches will be delivered.
