STATE HOUSE, Dover, Del. March =
Prejudice among politicians through
out the State against granting VII
mngton proper any just representation
in the General Assembly brought about
the defeat by a vote Of II % In the
Snate yesterday afternoon Of Senator
RobertsOn's bin 10 increase the number
Of state Senators in that city from two
10 five and the number OF Representa-
tives from flve 20 len. Senators Rob
ertson, Gormley, Walker and Long sup
ported the bill which would require
an amendment 10 the constitution and
consequently favorable action by two
consecutive sessions OF the Legislature
before 10 became a law. Senators Hol-
lett and Richards were absent when the
vote was taken. Senator's Robertson
and Gormley both made able pleas in
support Of the bill. baslng their argu-
menis largely from the standpoint Of
justice.
Senator Robertson. who first spoke
IN favor Of the bill, stated az the very
offset that he expected the Senate TO
kill the bill because he did not expert
the members from the rural sections
10 be reasonable. lie pointed out that
Wilmington now has a population of
10000 persons. which means that each
.of the two Wilmington senator's rep
resenis $500 persons, while each SEN
ator from rural New Castle county rep
.resents only 1888 persons; each f0m
Kent represents 65il. and each from
Sussex, 9,ssG, which means that erah
Wilmington senator represents from
1000 to $4,000 more constituents than
the other individual members Of the
senate. He also pointed out that while
Wilmington has more than half the
population OF the Stale, yet It's repre-
sentation In the Legislature was only

30 in the House
The Representatives from the lower
part OF the State have tried everything

clsred. They have never tried jus-
tice once. Il may be hard 10 have the
truth presented 10 them in this man
ner, and they may rant around, but
they cannot get away from the fact
that Wilmlngton's representation is not

cloud the issue pointing out that VIII
mington is not asking for the balance
Of power, but simply for more repre-
sentation that would not give the city
any more control In legislative matters
than at present.
Senator Pool remarked that it would
be superiluous 10 increase Wilmington's
representation in quantity as II was so
well represented in quality.
'"That's all very well. replied Senator
Gormley, but verbal bouquets will not
satisfy our constituents"
Senator Handy remarked that If the
electoral college was similarly changed
there would never be another Demo-
cratic president
THAT has nothing TO do with this
ease" replied Senator Gormley.
The vote was then taken.

/ lation, and pointed out that such was
not the intent Of the bill they were act
Ing upon, but that 1t was only fair that
Wilmington should have a little larger
representation than Il has at present.
He declared that Wilmington has been
compelled to submit TO a great deal in
the past, and that 'the time will come
some day when the people Of Whining
ton will make an effort 10 throw Off
the yoke" lie declared that taxation
without representation is tyranny" and
that the people Of Wilmington would
not submit to tyranny and oppression
much longer.
/ Senator Bennett opposed the measure,
declaring that II required numbers OF
Senators from the lower end Of the
State 10 cope with the Wilmington
members, and that even then therural
members had 10 hustle to hold their
end. Tie quoted statistics 10 show that
in other states. representation is not
accorded In ratio 10 population. lie be-
lleyed that the statesmen Of days gone
by had acted in wisdom in putting the
present representation in the consti-
tuition.
Senator Robertson pointed on that
even If Wilmington Is given the repre-
senetation it asks, each Of the five Sena-
tors who will then represent that city
win represent 1880 constituents. He
also called attention to the fact that the
constitution was promulgated in 1897,
and in 1900, three years later, Whining
ton had population Of 76,50S, and that
the present population Of that city is
$4,000. or gain Of 80, i92, which gain is
greater than the total population OF
either Kent or Sussex counties.
Trembling with emotion. and speak
ing with great earnestness, Senator
Robertson declared that he might be &C

Senator Palmer IN his arguments
tried to cloud the issue by indulging
in praise for Wilmington. and in so
doing admitted fact that should have

said, I'VE love WilminGton; we all love

When the Senator hestitated the
second time on "our greatest" Senator

sex Senator was searching for-"asset."

This acknowledgment Of the truth by
