VOTING FOR SENATOR WILL
PROBABLY BEGIN TUESDAY
THIS is THE IMPRESSION AMONG LEGISLA-
TORS AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT
OPINION GIVEN BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL WARD
ORGANIZATION EXPECTED MONDAY

that on Monday the Unions will make
overtures to the Regulars and offer to
combine with them in the organization
and give them the president pro tempore
Of the Senate if Senator Mendinhall, Of
Newport, shall be selected in place of
Senator Sparks, of Wilmington. When
Senator Mendinhan was asked about this
today he replied that he had heard Moth
ing Of it,
May Vote For Senator on Tuesday.
According to the present arrangement,
the voting for United states Senator will
begin on Tuesday next in pursuance Of
the recent opinion of Attorney-General
Ward which was that the balloting should
begin "on the second Tuesday after or
ganization." The Attorney-General de-
cided that the special session should be
the basis for this contention, but, by way
of caution, he suggested that the legis-
lators Continue voting and not elect un-
til January II. Had the General Assembly
organized this week or if it should Or
ganize on Monday, the 18th instant would
still hold good as the regular date for the
balloting to start.
Should the organization be deferred,
however, the second Tuesday after Or
ganization' will be delayed just that much
The situation is perpleXed and it is very
probable that the Assemblymen viii seek
the advice Of the Delaware judiciary on
the proper time to begin the Senatorial
voting when they reassemble on Monday.
Regulars Will Stand Pat.
If it shall be decided that next Tuesday
is the day to start the Democrats and
Union Republicans will hold caucuses on
the Senatorship on Monday and decide
upon their choice. the Unions, of course,
selecting ]. Edward Addicks. The Regular
Republicans will not hold any caucus and
will not enter the conference of the
Unions. They will simply stand pat" The
situation is expected to straighten itself
out on Monday.
Representative Timothy Z. Townsend,
Of Mnlvine, Sussex county, Union Re
publican, is one Of the largest and veal
thiest members of the legislature. He did
not attend the meetings yesterday be-
cause Of the fact that he was detained in
Wilmington Ia conference with Governor
elect Preston Lea. When DE arrived at the
State House late in the afternoon he was
twitted by Representative Vandenburg,
Union Republican, who informed him that
as he was not paired he would have to
