81 have been motivated by one
thing Only-what will best serve
the Democratic Party, and will do
most to guarantee the success of
the Democratic ticket next Novem-
ber".
He said that the party should
elect a state chairman who can
serve now and through the entire
whether we like it or
not, the campaign is on right now.
He listed chores ahead Including
the Jefferson-Jaekson Day dinner,
the little" convention in May, fol-
lowed by the national convention
in July, the county primaries. and
then the big convention in August.
Mr.. Lyons had already put plans
in motion for the campaign, he
said.
Il didn't consider for one mo-
ment any personalities or any sec
tionalism'', Mr.. Potter asserted.
He said the chairman should come
from the densely-populated area
of the state, where more than
three-fifths of the votes are, and
where the bulk of the work has
to be DONE.
He declared that Mr.. Conway
has had experience in practical
politics as city chairman, and in
legislative work as a state repre-
sentative and is a man of un-
questioned integrity, able, expert
enced, patient, and cOnsiderate"
He recommended him for "a job
that will try a mans sOul". The
nomination was seconded by YER
non B. Derrickson, then Mr.. West
nominated Mr.. Dukes as "man
who has had the opportunity to
learn man who has sat at
the feet of one of the shrewdest
political leaders the state has ex-
perienced."
The nomination was seconded by
Mr.. Lynch, who made the closest
thing to a threat that was made
here tonight. Said he: "As you
vote be sure you are voting to
retain or reject the same loyalty
Mr.. Lyons got from the ward
chairmen and councilmen of Will
mington" He pointed out earlier
that the majority of the ward
chairmen wanted Mr.. Dukes.
Senator Allen ]. Cook, the presi-
dent pro tempore seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Dukes "to show
that we in Kent County are allow
ed to have an opinion of our own. F"
The final roll-call followed. At
ter that, Mr.. Dukes made a concil-
iatory speech, declaring "our par
ty has what it takes to win in
November.
Mr.. Conway then gave talk in
which he said he accepted the job
with the deepest humility. The
meeting ended after adopting a
resolution of regret on the death
of Mr.. Lyons.

StGte Leader

AfA~E9S
Il suggest to the chair that this
committee cannot elect a state
chairman, declared Mr.. Lynch.
Had this view prevailed, Mr..
Dukes would automatically have
scored a technical knockout for
he would have continued as acting
chairman for the remainder of Mr..
Lyons term, which expires in
May.
William S. Potter, the national
committeeman, and leader of the
Conway forces, jumped in to argue
against this view. He said the su-
preme power of the party is indeed
vested in the state convention, but
that the State Committee carries
on between conventions. He point
ed out that when former Gov. FL
bert n Carvel resigned as state
chairman, Mr.. Lyons was elected
to succeed him by the State Com
mittee. There are precedents"
said Mr.. Potter. He added: 1T is
not only proper, but the duty of
this committee to elect a chair
man so that the work of the party
can proceed"
Mr.. Carvel also pointed out pre-
cedents.
Finally, Mr.. Dukes, who presided
at the early part of the meeting,
ruled because of the precedents
the meeting would proceed with
the election.
The next maneuver by the Dukes
forces. was to present resolution,
stating that for four years, Mr.
Dukes has rendered yeoman-like
service and also that "the
dictates of common decency and
good judgment and party welfare
proclaim loudly that Elisha Dukes
should be state chairman of the
Democratic Party for the remain
der of Garrett Lyons term. The
resolution proposed that Dukes
take over the chairmanship This
resolution was put before the
meeting by Raymond v. West,
Sussex County Democratic chair
man.
After the motion for adoption OF
the question arose as to whether
the vote should be by roll-call or
secret ballot.
The first of three roll-calls to-
night was on a motion to have a
secret ballot, and the results were
the tip-Off on the strength of the
opposing forces. The Dukes forces
who voted for the secret ballot got
25 votes on that one-the most
thew obtained.
The nays triumphed with AZ
votes, and the second roll-call fol-
lowed on the motion to adopt the
resolution to name Dukes state
chairman. On this roll-call, the
Dukes side dropped to % votes
with Al voting no.
With the preliminary sparring
over, and the stage set for the
election, Mr.. Dukes asked Rep. r
Allen Cannon to be the temporary
chairman. He was permitted to
take over.
Mr. Conway was nominated in
a lengthy speech by Mr.. Potter,
who explained why he reached the
conclusion that Mr.. Conway should
be called on to take the post.
