publican MajOrities. Kent And
Sussex Counties Go Democratic

The Republican Party in Della
ware, as elsewhere in the nation,
today rode high on the wave of a
laundering election victory.
The COP swept into its bag every
major office in sight, and retained
by narrow margin control of the
lower house of the General Assem-
bly,, although the Senate fell to the
Democrats.
The sweeping Republican victory
definitely upset Democratic calcu-
latiOns, which were extremely Opti-
mistic in view of the heavy vote.
The extent of the victory also sur
prised COP leaders, who had fore
cast a close contest for their can
didates.
However, the election results il
d ware followed a trend
throughout the nation-which. was
just the reverse of the 1948 cleo
ton when Democrats swept the
state and nation.
Winners of principal posts de-
cided by the election are:

BOggs of Wilmington.
