REVISED CODE IS
PASSED BY SENATE
As 1T LEFT House
Governor to Fill Senatorial
Vacancies Occurring Within
Year of Election
REPUBLICANS RECEDE
TO ASSURE BILL PASSAGE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Oct. 19.-Rather than
have the new Revised Code held up,
or possibly killed by the Democratic
attitude on the question of filling
United States Senatorial vacancies,
the Republican members of the Leg
islature today In conference accepted
the amendment urged by the Demo-
cratic members for filling Senatorial
vacancies. II gives the Governor au-
thority to appoint a Senator should
vacancy occur within one year of
a general election, and requires the
calling of a special election to I'LL
a vacancy should the vacancy occur
one year or more prior to a general
election. The Revised Code, with
that amendment as 1t passed the
House, was adopted unanimously by
the Senate.
This action was taken after Gov
ernor Miller had sent a special mes
sage to the Senate and House of the
Legislature advocating the adoption Of
the amendment prepared by the Re-
vised Code Commissioners for the fill
ing of vacancies in the United States
Senate from Delaware. That amend
ment gives the Governor discretion to
fill a Senatorial vacancy either by
making an appointment or by calling
a special election. The House re-
jected that amendment and adopted
one advocated by the Democrats, re-
Quiring the Governor TO call a spe-
cial election should a Senatorial va
cancy happen a year or more prior
to a general election. and gave the
Governor authority TO appoint a
Senator should a vacancy occur
within one year Of general election.
The Republican members Of the
Senate, however, advocated the
amendment prepared by the Revised
Code Commissioners giving the Gov
ernor discretion to appoint a SEN
ator or call a special session to elect
a Senator.
Governor Miller in his message
points out that the amendment ad-
vocated by the Democrats could put
the State to an expense Of $4,000
for holding a special election, and a
contingency could arise whereby two
special Senatorial elections might be
required in one year, eDtailing an ex
pense of $4,000 TO the State. The
Governor also pointed out that all the
States that have Faken action in the
matter, excepting Rhode Island, have
adopted a provision similar to that
prepared by the Revised Code Com
mission, vesting in the Governor the
discretion of appointing Senator or
of calling a special election in event
OF vacancy occurring
The Governor pointed out, too, that
the Revised Code Commissioners who
prepared the amendment which he also
favors is divided politically, were free
from influence and agreed on it as the
best method for filling Senatorial va
cancies.
The Governor concluded by leaving
the decision and full responsibility
with the Legislature
A letter was received from former
Judge Gray and was read in the Sen
ate and House advocating the plan

this is improbable. The German Of
fensive is strategically on the Belgian
boundary. therefore must wait upon
the occupation of Dunkirk. II it falls,
II will register an important German
success. The possibility Of its cap
ture, after the capitulation OF the far
stronger entrenched camp at Ant

cause of Berlin's belief that the
French operations are approaching a
crisis.
A far larger force Of the allies is
between Dunkirk and the Germans
than was used for the defense of
Antwerp. This fact explains the con-
fidence prevailing in Paris. The
Germans, too, have been checked
since their occupation of Ostend,
which suggests a more rapid arrival
OF French reinforcements than the
Germans have been able to bring up
