Our geniel Congressman while in Will
mington last week, frankly announced
his candidacy for the third term in Con.
gress. Asked as to his feeling in the
matter the Congressman replied
Yes, am candidate for third term, "
the doctor said, 81 feel that l should be
allowed to remain in Congress until Ican
accomplish the work have started to do
for the good of the State. l believe am
IN better position to do this work than
anyone whom the party might send to sue
coed me, because Of my connection with
the various projects and the favorable
consideration have gotten from Con-
gress on all matters of interest to the
people of this State.
81 am aware of the fact that there has
been an unwritten rule limiting the term
OF the services Of a congressman from this
State to two terms, and, by the way, a
very bad rule. My experience has taught
me that it is the man who has been in
Congress the longest who obtains the
most for his constituents. That is one
reason why Delaware has obtained so
little in the way Of public Improvements.
/ do not mean that the men who have
represented Delaware IN Congress have
not been capable, but rather they were
not allowed to remain there long enough
to get acquainted and make the impress
sion they would make by reason of lar
ger service.
whether | am returned to Congress
or not, hope that the man who is eiec-
ted to represent Delaware in the lower
house will be allowed to serve the State
for at least eight years, provided he
proves satisfactory and shows that
amount OF interest in the affairs Of the
State that a congressman should. There
is greater reason why a State having but
one representative in Congress should
continue his service as long as he makes
good than there is for a state having a
greater number keeping them all in ser
7ice."

Not Required to Give Bond.

Because the registration fee of 81 ha
been abolished, by legislative enactmen
the registrars will not be required TO Civ,
bond in the future. This is the opinion
of Acknowledgement Robert H. Richards
which was given to Clerk of the Peac,
Quigley last Saturday morning. Hereto
fore the registration fees collected and fol
that reason they were required to bond
but now they will not handle any money
and Mr.. Richards holds that no security
is required. Mr.. Richards opinion is al
follows:
Pursuant to your request for an opinion
as to whether it is necessary for registrar:
to give a bond, such as is provided by
Section y of Chapter SO of volume 81,
Laws of Delaware, beg to advise as fol-
lows By proceedings in conformity with
Section ! of article Is of the Constitution
OF this State, Section of Article S of said
Constitution has been amended by strik-
ing out of the third paragraph of said
Section the following words, to wit
"And each voter shall, at the time of his
registration, pay a registration fee OF 81,
for the use of the county where such reg
istration fee is paid"
Subsequent to such amendment OF the
Constitution, the General Assembly Of
this State, by Chapter 66 Of Volume "A Of
the Laws of Delaware, repealed ''all the
provisions in the statutes of the State OF
Delaware in relation to the payment of a
registration fee as qualification to vote, !"
and also repealed all acts and parts of
acts inconsistent with said Chapter 66.
In my opinion, by the said amendment
to the Constitution and by said Chapter
66 of Volume "a, the following provisions
of our State law have been repealed, viz :
Paragraph indicated as First" of Sec
ton 4 of Chapter SO of Volume 81, Laws
of Delaware, or so much thereof asrelates
to the collection of the registration fee.
Sections ~, IS and IA of Chapter last
All the first paragraph Of sec
ton q of the chapter last aforesaid which
follows the word appeals" where it ap-
pears the second time in said paragraph.
So much Of sections z, s. 10 and il Of
Chapter 81 of Volume 81, Laws OF Della
ware as relates to registrations fees.
In my opinion, therefore, the registrars
are not required, under existing law, to
give the bond provided for by Section y
Of Chapter SO of Volume 81, Laws of
Delaware, and this view is held notwith-
standing Section of Article is of the
Constitution of this State.
