DELAWARE DEMOCRATS VOTE
Comparatively Few Contests
Primaries Today
at
WILMINGTON, April IS. In contrast
with the Republican primaries of lust Sat
urday, the Democratic primaries being
held today araery quiet.
There are comparatively few contests
and no factional fights to get control of
the conentton, to be held In Dover next
Tuesday There was originally some ques
tion of whether the candidate for Presi
dent of the United States should be voted
for directly or delegates chosen to a con
vention, to name national delegates.
At the primaries the voter Is being
given an opportunity to express his choice
for President, and this will guide the del
egates to the national convention, though
It will not bind them.
There Is every reason to believe that the
national delegates from this State, of
whom United States Senator Willard
SauUbury will be one, will vote for the
renomlnatton of Wilson.
In Wilmington there will be no con
tests at all, the delegates having been
chosen at ward meetings.
