Wild estimates of election majorities win no votes. Wellinformed men can come reasonably close to the majori- ties that certain counties will give against the amendment, and there are number of counties that will cast big majorities against constitutional pro- hibition and 'Comerism; and yet some foolish amenders there be who vocif- erously claim the earth.

ROUTS OPPONENTS
Raises Technical Objections
to Resolution Regarding
an Oyster Supper
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Feb. 2-Representative
A. L. Ainscow yesterday completely
routed his colleagues of the House who
tried to have him directed to provide
an oyster supper for the members ana
officers. Recently Representative sopel
offered the following resolution:
Whereas. The members of this
House of Representatives OF the Gen.
eral Assembly of the State of Delaware
have in their wisdom bestowed the title
of Commodore Of the Oyster Navy
upon the Honorable Colonel Represent.
ative A. L. Ainscow Of the Second dis
trict Of Wilmington: and
Whereas. It is proner that the said
Colonel Commodore Representative
Ainscow should recognize the acquisi-
tion Of these honorable titles by some
thing more substantial than stalking
around in a dignihed and soldierly
manner and i'm making patriotic
speeches; therefore be it
Resolved That the said Honorable
Representative Commodore Colonel
Ainscow be and is hereby requested
ordered, directed, and commanded to
deliver unto the members and officers
of this House enough prime oyster,
to provide satisfying feast for the
said members and officers, and that
said oysters shall be served in what.
ever style the caprice of the appetite
Of the members and officers of this
House NAV dictate and at an carly
date; and be it further
Resolved. That if the said Repre-.
sentative Ainscow fail to observe this
mandate that he be consigned to resi-
with the fish. oysters. game, clans and
little Holsters that are demanding
recognition at this time from the State
of Delaware
Representative Ainscow appreciated
the joke. but he rushed to his own de.
fense without calling out the oyster
naval reserves to his aid
II object 10 this resolution on tho
ground that I have not been installed
as Commodore of the oyster Navy
said Representative Ainscow. BE.
fore accepting the high Office rendered
to me by this House and assuming tho
attendant pains. penalties and re-
sponsibiities thereof, 7 am constrained
70 insist that the appointment be made
by the Governor and confirmed by the
Senate ami that be commissioned in
due form.
"I feel the honor Weighing heavily
upon me-. continued Representative
Ainscow. "and under the titles 1 am
carrying around with me l am be-
coming stcon-shouldered."
Speaker Cooper ruled that the eleva
ton Of Representative Ainscow to the
rank of commodore was matter with
which the Senate had nothing to do,
as he had been promoted and installed
by the House.
''Then thcre is no way out of it,"
observed Representative Ainscow.
Better hire a lawyer" someone sug.
gested.
THAT would be jumping from the
oyster pan into the fire," retortcd Nh
Ainscow. He said he had no objection
to furnishing oysters. but he baked
when it came to satisfying the ap-
petites of all the members.
Speaker Cooper. agreed that il would
be rather drastic 10 require any man
to undertake that task. judging from
reports he had heard from the Dover
hotels about some of the members ap.
petites. lie then tabled the resolution
and Representative Ainscow had scored
a triumph.
