Senator's Son a Candidate.

Alden b. Richardson Of Dover, eldest
son of Senator Richardson. is the repub-
lican nominee for the state senate from
the first district OF Kent county. His gen.
eral popularity will aid him materially.
His election is anticipated, although the
vote may be close. His democratic OPP
ponent is Edward G. Walls, a merchant
Of Smyrna.
One of the surprises of the campaign is
the action of DIR. Caleb r. Layton Of
Georgetown. nominee for the state sem
ate in the fifth senatorial district of Sus
sex county, on the republican ticket, in
openly proclaiming himself an 'insur-
gent" He is an auditor In the State De-
partment at Washington. at salary Of
$4,000 year Because of his action it is
said that Layton may be forced to resign
his lucrative berth at the National Capt.
tai his attitude not being in consonance
with that of Senator du Pcnt and Ricn-
ardson and Representative Head. Lay
ton, in fact, was recently called upon by
State Chairman Mitchell to resign from
the ticket IL he did not intend to work for
his election. He declined to get of, how
ever. He was secretary of state under
Gov. HUM, 19O0-1904 when the fee sys-
tenn in the incorporation miil' was in
vogue and he became wealthy. 1t is de-
clared he has said he does not care
whether he retains his position in Wash
normally republican and Layton's election
is looked for. 1t is stated his purpose
primarily, in wanting to go to the upper
house of the legislature is to advance his
own cause for the United States senator
ship.

Layton and Alice, it will be remem-
bered, were the chief lieutenants of J.
Edward Addicks when that unsuccessful
senatorial aspirant was in his heydey
Alice was elected senator in 1903 on
republican compromise. his term ending in
1907. Despite this fact. he worked with
the democrats two years ago and is again
lined up with them this time in an en-
deavor to defeat Senator du Pont. His
following. however, is very limited.
The chief feature Of the campaign is the
independent democratic movement in Will
mington. Several months ago the Polish
Independent Club was formed of Poles
who have always hitherto been democrats
They were disgruntled because the demo-
Gratis did not recognize them The indie
pendent Democratic Club (Americans) was
likewise organized. Both of these organ
