HARMONY FOR SUSSEX REPUBLICANS
Sussex Union Republican Committee Elects Ben

In LaytOn-cnhaIl Leadership Fight.

After a strenuous battle for control
of the Sussex Republican organization,
Caleb II. Layton won in his efforts to
overthrow Secretary of State Joseph
Il. Cahall as county chairman of Sus-
sex yesterday. The victory did not go
as far as Layton however, for in the
interest of harmony, John W. Bennett
was elected chairman of the County
Committee. Chairman Cahall at once
vacated the chair and moved as sub
stitute that John W. Green, of Bridge
vile, former clerk of the House, be
elected chairman. The vote showed,
Bennett 10, Green Z. The committee
concluded its deliberations by
O'Clock, and before adjournment the
members of the factions shook hands
with their opponents. Chairman Ben
nett, who was selected because of his
fealty to Layton, is farmer of Cedar
Creek Hundred, and was, form er
Representative in the General AS
sembly. By this move Layton is un
questionably established as leader of
the Sussex Republicans. In the vot-
ing the men lined up as follows: For
Layton Mark L. Davis, John W.
Bennett, John K. Brown, Leray
Tyndal, Robert I. Spicer, Greensbury
Short, William P. Short, Elijah G.

Lynch Cahall and Layton reside
in the same district and as the former
would not resign, Layton could not be
elected to membership of the county
committee, and not being a member,
could not be elected chairman.
