Progressives.
It Is held that Doctor Morgan would
como nearer taking tho place of the Itev.
Doctor Itecd than any other man In Dela
ware. Ho Is well known and has fought
hard for prohibition in this State.
It Is not expected that tho nomination
of Doctor Morgan will be any mora
pleasing to tho Progressives In the lower
part of tho Stnto than was tho nomination
of Doctor Heed. There Is no objection to
cither man personally, but thcro Is n feel
ing among many of the Progressives that
the nomination ought to go to a Sussex
County man because tho Republicans'
aroused dissatisfaction by nominating a
Now Castle County man for Congross. By
nominating a Sussex Countlnn tho Pro
gressives think they could get the. votes of
dissatisfied Republicans. Tho Progressive
leaders, howovor, appear to think that a
New Cast I o County man would draw more
votes becnuso of tho lurger voting popu
lation In the upper end of the State.
Thero la nlso a feeling among a num
ber of the Progressives that because
Louts A. Droxler was tho nominee of the
party In tho previous election, when no
one wanted tho place, ho deserves the
nomination this time when tho Progres
sives oxpoct to poll, n much larger vote
than thoy did two years ngo,
According to tho leaders of all parties,
this Is going to ho nn unusual! qUIot
campaign. There will bo considerable
speechmaklng, but tho most cffoatlvn
work Is expected to bo done by personal
solicitation.
