GOVERNOR TELLS
ECONOMY PLANS;
ALSO REFORMS

-1ohklaAe4 from A-u&c -
confidence is improved. We have got
to solve before the next Legislature
the question OF labor control. This
problem has been partially solved by
permitting prisoners to work on pub
lie roads for corporations and for
farmers. The question is whether
there is sufficient work of this kind
Cor continual employment of our pris-
1ners. We want TO know If there is
i substitute for contract labor.
1t is not desirable TO remove the
Penitentiary TO Jessups Cut and there
combine it with the House of Cor
rection. A model farm TO supply
work and food for all the prisoners
might be established This problem
should be studied before the next
legislature meets. The best thing that
The last legislature did was to sub
stitute one for three Police Commits
sioners. The result has been salts
factory.
Discussing the merit system. the
Governor said that-it is new propo-
sition that will work itself out to the
final satisfaction of the people of the
state. If faults are found. he said,
they will be corrected. The Cover
nor said that he will get the best
qualified man TO be found to be state
purchasing agent.
School Law Praised
/. With respect to the schools | can
safely say that we have one of the
best State boards of education in our
history, In Superintendent Cook we
have a man of national reputation and
thorough knowledge of our conditions,
and the same sort of man in Assis-
tant Superintendent Reayis. We start,
therefore, with a clean slate, and our
object is general improvement of the
whole system of education. l ex-
pect Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Reavis to keep
their minds a: work upon several
problems.
One is to find a better method of
selecting members of the county
school boards. The Governor ap-
points them now, and / am not salts
lied whit that method. 1t is simply
impossible for me to know the people
in each county who should be on the
school boards. With rare exceptions
[ never have seen them until they
call on me with their supporters.

Governor continued, sit is time that

HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY PLANS FOR BIG
FRUIT EXHIBIT

Preparations are now under way
for the annual meeting of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society in
Wilmington, November 80 and De-
cember /. The general display of
the society will be in the ballroom
of the Hotel du Pont, and the
meetings and lectures will be held
in the du Barry Room.
Professor Wesley Webb, secre-
tary of the society, has not an
nounced the program yet, but it
will be given out in short time.
There will be a number of.speak-
ers we'll known for their acquaint-
ance with the problems which
confront the horticulturist and a
number of government experts
from the Department of Agricul-
ture will be among those who will
delive lectures.
The exhibits will include num-
erous excellent exhibits of apples.
The peach exhibit will not be as
large as it was last year, but it is
expected that there will be plenty
of peaches and fruit for exhibi-
tion purposes. The exhibit of
sprayers and other paraphernalia
connected with orchard work will
be shown in the basement of Odd
Fellows Hall. This display will
be complete with sprayer pumps,
pumping articles, fire pots for con-
trolling the temperature on nights
when frost is expected and all
sorts of horticultural equipment.

A VOTE THAT
COUNTS FOR PROGRESS

Voters of this district who
have the welfare of the State at
heart, who desire to see con-
tinuance of the progressive pol
icies which have characterized
the present administration, voters
who desire to have as their rep
resentative a man who is not
bound by prediction promise to
any ring or faction but who pur-
poses going to Dover with the in
terests of all his constituents at
heart, will give their support to
Charles L. Medill regardless of
previous party affiliation.
Such is the sentiment express
ed by the solid, substantial,
thinking citizen unblinded by
partisan rancor, alert to the inter
ests of the State, of the County
of all of us.
A modest, unassuming, upright,
honest business man, clear
thinker, answering in his ad-
herence to right and justice, Mr..
Medill is known to every citizen,
for he was born in Newark and
has lived here all of his life. An
alumnus of the local high school,
he received his business training
in Wilmington, became associated
with Central National Bank there
and upon graduation, has con-
tinued with the institution for IA
years, and risen to the position of
paying teller.
He has never held nor sought
political position. He accepted the
nomination for representative at
the urgent call of the people of
his district who saw in this young
man one who knew their needs,
one to whom they could safely
trust their affairs in the trying
period which is before us. That
same confidence in their fellow
citizen will be manifest next Tues
day at the polls anG from all in
dications, could not be better
placed.

AND THEY CAN'T SAY HE'S
SEEING DOUBLE EITHER

According OF story that is going
the rounds and which the genial drug
gist neither confirms nor denies, DR..
George w. Rhodes is responsible for
the prize fish story of the year. The
story goes thus:
"Dr. Rhodes while fishing in Noxen-
town Mill Pond, near Middletown one
Gay last week, caught two large bass,
each weighing between four and five
pounds, on one artificial bait in one
cast. This is feat in fishing which
seldom happens and as far as can be
learned DIR. Rhodes is the only one in
this vicinity who has ever accomplish
ed it.
With DR.. Rhodes at the time was
Richard Morris, trust officer of the
Newark Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany. Mr.. Morris was rowing and DIR.
Rhodes, seated in the stern Of the
boat, was trolling with line in each
hand, one his own outfit and the other
that he had borrowed from Dean Z.
Laurence Smith of Delaware College
for the day.
Suddenly DIR. Rhodes felt an unus-
ually heavy strike at one of the bait.
Mr.. Morris stopped rowing and took
the other line. DIR. Rides finally reel
ed in the line and on it were two
large big mouth bass. Both bass ap-
parently made strike at the artiti-
cial bait at the same time and both
got hooked on separate hooks"

EXPLAINS WORK OF
REHABILITATION DIVISION

Raymond M. Upton, director of
the Rehabilitation Division at Del
aware Colleg, in a chapel talk at
Women's Colleg on Friday told of
the work being done in that de-
partment. He explained that the
object Of this rehabilitation work
was to qualify again those men
who had become unable to do their
work because of injuries received
during the war. The munger Of
men who are receiving the benefit
of this work constantly increases.
At Linden Hall at Newark on
May 3, 1920, there were thirteen
men, now there are more than
seventy-fve. The ages of the men
range from nineteen to forty-seven
years. The social and educational
needs of the men are met with a
club known as the Rehabilitation
Club.

WOMEN HOLD KEY TO
POLITICAL SITUATION

According to statistics COM
piled from the 1920 census and
from the women's vote in the
Maine election, about 100000
women will vote in the November
election and they undoubtedly
hold the balance of political
power. This statement is based
on a computation made from the
women's vote in the Maine elec-
tion.
About $4,000 women voted in
Maine census of 1910, that num-
in Mainecensus of 1910, that num-
Der is 32 per cent of the number
of women 2l years of age who live
in Maine. The Maine women
number, according to the 1910
census, PAS, 1903.
In the United States, according
to latest census statistics, there
are 26,S83, ,566 women of voting
age. If the ratio of 32 per cent
which existed in the Maine elec-
tion prevails in all the States, and
it probably will, as the women
generally want to vote for the first
time, there will be cast in the No
vember election an aggregate
woman vote of 8,602,741, or nearly
nine millions. In the Northern
states the per cent probably will
be higher, and in the Southern
states lower, because in the Solid
South" the black man is largely
disfranchised, and the Negro
women will receive the same poll
tical discrimination in that Sec
ton. But the nations average
probably will be about 32 per cent
which will give nine millions.
Similar statistics show that
there are 29,577,69O men of voting
age in the United States. In the
Presidential election of 1916 there
were cast 18,528,743 ballots, 60
per cent of the total male popula-
tion Fl years of age. 1t can hard
ly be expected that so large a per-
centage of the women will vote,
but it may be safely said that at
least 80 per cent of them will.
There can be no question but
that the women now hold the key
to the national political situation,
and can throw victory to Republi-
cans or Democrats. Judging from
the way they voted in the Maine
election, it would seem that a
great majority of the newly-en-
franchised citizens are preparing
to line up throughout the country,
except in the South, for Harding
and Coolidge.
