the election Of franklin c. Maull, Demo.
crat, % State Senator in the Fifth Sena-
t0rial district in Sussex county, and, as a
result, the next State Senate will be
Democratic by q majority of one, that
body standing nine Democrats to eight
Republicans.
No reason was assigned for the with
drawal af DR.. Burton other than his
acknowledgement that he was de-
feated.
Whilst the Republicans will have con.
troll Of the next Legislature, their actions
are likely to be hampered to certain
extent by the Democratic Senate, and the
probabilities are that the bills they want
passed by the next General Assembl,
will meet with anything but approval by
the State Senate and Governor Ebe W.
Tunnel.
Following is the personnel Of the next
General Assembly:

By the contests waged in New Castle

have gained two additional legislative
members.
These are Harry W. Hushebeck, in
the Tenth Representative district, New

in the Fifth Representative district of
Sussex.
The withdrawal OF DR.. Burton does
not in any way conflict with the election
of a Republican United States Senator to
succeed the Hon. George Fl. Gray.
