THIRD TERM FOR DIR. LAYTON.

Every Evenings Washington cor
respondent, yesterday, furnished an
interesting letter bearing upon the
probability of the nomination Of Rep
resentative Caleb r. Layton for third
successive term. This action would
break a precedent Of many years
standing, as the rule of only two suc-
cessive terms for Representative in
Congress from Delaware has been fol-
lowed rigidly by both the leading po-
litical parties for more than three
quarters Of a century. Not since the
late Judge John W. Houston was
elected for three successive terms
and defeated in his fourth attempt
back in the forties and early ffties Of
the last century,. has the rule been
departed from.
The abrogation of the rule has been
earnestly discussed at various times
but without results. 1t is urged that
Delaware suffers by not keeping q
member OF the House in Office long
enough TO secure influence and pres
tige by good continuous service. Now
there is strong support Of the propo-
sition in Republican circles to give
DIR. Layton a third nomination. How
the real leaders Of the party viii view
the proposition is not yet known, al
Senators Ball and du Pont, when in
terviewed on the subject by oul
correspondent at Washington, yester
day, had nothing to say"

Of the effect the work and the votes
OF such women Is bound to have in
any local election.
What tho good women OF Delaware
City did may DO done by tho good
women OF any community. It may DO
done by the good women of Whining
ton at any election which involves
their interests as citizens and tax
payers. In this respect they have an
equal interest with men property
owners and taxpayers. and there Is
hope for the future in the evidence
we now have that they are likely to
be superior to many men voters in
deciding how they may best employ
their votes for their own benefit and
the general benefit OF tho community.
There is an ample field here In Will
mington and New Castle county for
effective missionary work by intellL
gent and interested women voters.
County taxes are high and county ad-
ministration Is eXtravagant. costly and
inefficient. Reform is badly needed
City administration for years also has
been inefficient and extravagant, with
the natural accompaniment OF exces-
sive taxation. although recently there
have been indications that even those
connected with the local administra-
ton now recognize the pressing need
of reform.
There will be no municipal election
until 1928, but an important election
affecting the county administration
will be held next November. Her,
may be a fine opportunity for the In
dependent. intelligent and fair-mindet
| women voters OF New Castle county
especially in the city OF Wilmington
to make practical use of their sui
frage in the cause OF real reform.
