TEN REPUBLICANS;
FIVE DEMOCRATS
Contests in Sussex County
Does Not Change Result
of the Election
Special to the Evenlne Journal.

Georgetown, Nov. Slate last night
the Sussex county court completed the
work OF canvassing the election returns,
and issued the certificates Of election
setting forth that ten Union Republi-
cans and five Democrats had been elect
cd to the General Assembly.
The Democrats withdrew all their
contests against the Addicks assembly
men when they saw that their own cam
didate for State senator from the Fifth
district, Thomas w. jefferson, was safe
by a majority of FIVE votes.
The contests in a majority of these
districts had been originally filed ON
the grounds that a Union Republican
judge acted instead of a Regular. The
DemOcrts allege that they could have
proved irregularities in conducting the
election other than regarding the judge
They say that in the Second district OF
the First representative district they
could have proved that the ballot-box
was opened three or four times during
the day.
In abandoning the contests Attorney
Martin informed the court that afteI
carefully going over the matter the
! Democrats felt that the pushing of tn,
contests would not change the result
of the election, and although grave ir
4 Irregularities could be proved, the Demo
Gratis did not desire to push contests
that would not affect the general re
suit and occupy the time of the court
therefore they would withdraw all.
The Union Republicans, after all tn
precincts of the Fifth district, excep
Broadkiln, had been counted and thei
candidate. Magee, stood one ahead
moved to eliminate the Broadkiln re
turns because ordinary lead pencils ha'
been used and not the indellible penci
= or crayon required by law. The court
j however, blamed this infraction upol
the clerks and refused to hush tn
voices of these sovereign electors.
The work Of canvassing the count
as finished showed Houston, Ala
. Ball, 647; Byrne. 4,644; Todd, All; Hos
singer. 3,949; Burris, $3.50; Lowe, 1920
: Norman, 5.197.

His Highness, however, did not see 1t
that way. He took it as an insult
''Why should the Americans dress
servants in imitation of Siamese and
expect a prince of the blood to be fat

BISHOP VINCENT WANTS
SOCIAL LIFE IN CHURCH
Knows No Reason Why Young People
Should Not Enjoy Themselves
and at the Same Time Be Good

Bishop Vincent, OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who was in Will
mington during the meeting OF the
Board of Bishops here last week, doss
not believe there is anything neces-
sarily incompatible in young people en-
ioying themselves socially, and at the
same time being good church members.
Enjoy the world" he said at a din
ner given by the Methodist Episcopal
Social Union to the members of the
General Committee of Church Exten-
sion, Thursday night, in the Bullitt
Building, Philadelphia, ''but let us have
at the root religious devotion, positive
and decisive, so that we shall stand be-
fore the people at all times as servants
Of the Lord Jesus Christ. believe in
social life. Wise men may turn con-
versatiOn into sermons. Social life gives
us an opportunity of impressing per-
sonality upon people, of exerting an un-
conscious influence on those with wh ON
we come in contact. We should train
our children to live every hour Of every
day with high motives, and in their
play and their study be consecrated TO
God. We neglect our children somer
times, and our young people, going
into society, are sometimes alienated
from the church.
1--WE have two great needs in Meth
odism. We depend upon revivals, and
/ would not suspend this form of ac-
tivity, but / plead more for the re-
ligious training at home. Then
the religious treatment al
home should be backed UP by some one
who believes It all, by a mother and
father who are incarnate examples oi
all they teach. Give us training like
that for our young men and women and
we shall have young men and women
who will be ornaments to both Church
and society.
"The Church needs social life at tts
best, art at Its best, culture at It's
strongest, political power at its wisesl
and frmest, and all the factors thai
make splendid individuaities and gen
uine social power; but at the heart o.
laI. Gods Word, enshrined in the breast
and Illuminated by living illustrations
of its power"

! Affection Shown For Mr.. Roosevelt.
Washington, Nov. 8. - Anthracite
Coal Strike Commissioner Watkins has
telegraphed Recorder Wright from
Scranton that the independent oper-
ators of the Wyoming and Lackawanna
region have informed him of an agree
ment among themselves to become par
ties to the controversy and to bind
themselves to accept the decision of the
commission. This piece of information
was received with much qualification by
Colonel Wright. There are about 70
Of these operators working smaller
mines in the anthracite region.
Recorder Wright and General Will

timony will begin at that time.
"Our inspection of the coal mines

perience, and we accomplished the pur-
pose for which it was undertaken
which was to familiarize ourselves with
the conditions of the mining indus

was wonderful to see men of the age

tion and standing it like youngsters"
Neither Mr.. Moseley nor Recorder
Wright would venture a guess as tC
the length of time which the investiga
tion will yet consume.
Upon one other point Mr.. Moselel
made an interesting statement: 1T Il

VOTES COUNTED
FOR L. V. ASPRH
He Defeated James I. ShaHcross
For Representative in st.
Georges Hundred

70 count one OF the tickets for Aspril.
which made a tie between him and
Shallcross, and to- hear argument as to
the other two disputed ballots.
The point was argued by John Biggs
and j. Frank Ball for the Democrats.
and Walter II. Hayes and Robert Ii.
Richards for the Republicans. Mr.
Biggs contended that the votes we're
for Leonard V. Aspril, Sr.. although he
was not a candidate.
Intent Of the Law
Chief Justice lore stated that the
question would have to be decided ac-
cordlng to law. and that the intent OF
the voter must be carried out. The
court decided that there was but one
Leonard V. Aspril TO be voted for and
that was Leonard V. Aspril. Jr The
three votes were allowed for Aspril,
which gives him a majority OF Two over
Shallcross.
Tho Democrats claimed that In the
Fourth election district of the above
representative district fourteen ballots
were Illegally rejected. The court
counted but one OF the rejected bal
lots for Shallcross, which gives Aspril
the election by one vote. At first the
court counted two Of the votes, which
would have made atie, button examining
the ballots more closely It was discoy-
erci that one Of them was disiigured,
and this lost Shallcross the election.
Wright Contests
The Democrats also contested both
election districts of the Fifteenth rep
resen ieiatvstdtsluhrd hrdlu shrdluuuu
resentative district, Blacl1bird hundredg
where Derrickson, Republican, was
elected over Wright, Democrat, by a
majority OF eight yoses. The claim was
that several improper ballots were
counted for Derricks0n, and that sew
eral ballots which should have been
counted for Wright were rejected. The
judges examined the ballots but there
was no change whatever made in the
vote. This concluded the official can
vass, after which the clerks got up the
totals.
