OUR DOVER
LETTER.
AS Far Away as Ever in
Choosing two United
States Senator's.

have no Republican United StaH-
Senators. K X. Kenneys term is
up in March next and it is to the fu-
ture success Of the Republican party
in Delaware that the life fairly de-
ptnds on the election Of two Republic
can Senators.
The vote yesterday in joint session
stood the same almost aS on the first
day that it commenced.
] is nearly time that the President
or the members Of the National com.
mittee took hand in the matter.
The policy inaugurated if followed
out will result in the defeat of Il Re
publican party at the next election
and the sending Of two Democrats to
the United States Senate That is
one reason why the Democratic mem.
bers are standing by the two men
whom they have been voting for day
after day lJr senators.
The PrCSiden. could SOON make it
| possible for two Republican Senators
to he elected Delays are often dan.
gerou, and are having anything but
good effect on the party.
The bill appropriating s124,000 to
| Fanuhurst ma, had a third reading in
/ the House and in all probability will
Lass the Senate on Monday.
By Joint resolution yesterday
morning, PhilipQ. Churchman, James
II. Hugl cs and Frank ii. Davis were
elected legislative attorneys with a
salary Of II ZOO cash.
Tie appointing Of Democratic at
tOrney was surprise to a good many
persons who had no idea that this
would he done at this session.
The plan was ut trse to have two
attorneys, one for the Senate and one
for the House, but as time passed aid
the Senate could not agree upon an
attorney, the Democrats made the
plea that they also should be given an
attorney which was granted them.
Senator Clements gave notice Of
two bills fixing the salary of the Sec
retary Of State at $500 and turning
all fees of the Office into the treasury.
The sccrctary's term is for four years
and this would pay him slightly over
$500 a year which is about half what
The Office is said to be worth since the
new incorporation act has gone into
If. ct.
E.X-Secrctary Hughes the other day
in talking Ahout beng Governor SAID
lie would rather be secretary of State

the people to say whether they want

natulcs Of Senator'S Brasure, Penne.
vi i and Farlyw a majority of the Sus.
sex Senators. They will be able to
procure a majority Of the members In
this city OF rural New Castle County.
The Republican party wants to leave
th!s question alone.
The Temperance people have never
shown any rr!cndlincsstoward the Re-
publican party in Delaware and for
this reason If no other they should be
given to understand that they will
not be allowed to put the Republican
party in Ii hole at this particular time.
