NO ELECTIoN IN STATE
NEXT. YEAR

BY the enactment Of the Fewer
Elections Amendment there will be
mo election in the State of Mary.
Hand inN tthe year 1926 but look
Iout for 1926, when full State
ticket, United States Senator,
members Of the House Of Repre-
tsentatives, sundry judges, various
court officials, to say nothing OF
members Of the General Assembly
are to he elected. u
The State ticket will comprise
candidates for Governor, Comptrol-
Ter, Attorney-G General and Clerk OF
the Court of Appeals.
Under the Fewer Elections
Amendment terms of all State and
county officers. except judges, elect
ed in 1926 and subsequently will be
for four years. Terms Of such Of
ficials in 1928 were reduced to three
years, SO their successors might be
elected in 1926.
The next regular session of the
General Assembly will be in 1927
Under the old order 1t would have
been in 1926, but the Fewer Elec-
tions Amendment changed that.
At the next regular session of tthe
Assembly all of the members, Senate
as we'll as House, will have been
newiy elected-that is, elected In the
fall of 1925. There will be no
"hold-over'' members in the Senate.
That is one change that the Fewer
Elections Amendment makes in the
Legislature.
Another is that members of the
House of Delegates will be elected
for terms of four years instead of
two. The General Assembly, under
the operation Of the Fewer Elections
Amendment, will continue to con-
vene in regular session every two
years, but its mem bersswilt be elect
ed every four years.
To some Of the conservatives the
electing of members Of the House Of
Delegates every four years instead
OF every two years seems depar-
ture from the governmental theory
that members of the lower branch
of the General Assembly Cor the
Federal Congress) should be elected
g,t frequent intervals to the end that
they may be sensitive register of
public opinion. Abolition of hold
over members, Of the Senate is
another feature not universally ap-
proved.

SHOP EARLY, MAIL EARLY

The Shop Early, Mail Early cam
paign inaugurated by Postmaster
General New last year proved to pc
an unqualified success. 1t was OF
benefit to the people and also
enabled post Office employees to
deliver all the Christmas mail before
noon on December 25. The Depart
ment again this year asks the hearty
cooperation of the public in order
that the record made last year may
be equalled, if not excelled.
When you shop early and mail
early you are helping the clerks in
the post Office to eat their dinners
at home and you are, greatly bene-
fitting yourselves. You. have a
greater chance to secure q better
selection of gifts from the stores,
you have more time to wrap them
securely and you are sure that they
will arrive at their destination in
time to be opened Christmas morn
ing. You are also relieving the
burdens on the clerks behind the
counters in the stores. and you are
giving a practical demonstration of
good will that Christmas time sig
mites. Acting Postmaster General,
John H. Bartlett requests that you
refrain from using small envelopes
in sending your Christmas cards as
this very greatly retards the sort
ing and distribution OF the mails.
Let all of US pull together this year,
do our shopping early and do our
mailing early, let's make it
genuine old-fashioned Christmas
celebration
