Governor Robinson Urges Reduction
Of Washington LnaugurGl Expense

whole ideal of an economical admin
istration to send the whole legisla-
ture to Washington.
"I have heard some talk, also, of
sending our entire National Guard.
That would not even be permissible
for the inaugural committee at
Washington has asked that no State
send more than 100 members of it's
militia and in our case it should not
be necessary to send more than
enough of the guardsmen to COM
prise a small escort.
81 certainly hope that the mem
bers of the General Assembly, who
have been so loyal to me, will con-
slider very carefully before deciding
upon any plan for the Washington
which will be more ex-
pensiVe than seems to be necessary
to properly represent the State of
Delaware"
Just as strongly did the Governor

BALL MAY OBTAIN
COMMISSION POST
U. S. Senator Ball Of Delaware
Considered Still In Line For
Boundary Vacancy.

The fact that President Coolidge
has not made the appointment to
fill the vacancy on the International
Boundary Commission between this
country and Canada, it is pointed
out may mean that Senator L. Heis-
Ter Ball whose term expires on
March 4 may yet be given this ap-
pOintment.
1t is understood some of the fore
most Republican leaders in the Sen
ate have endorsed Senator Ball for
the appointment, and it is also re-
ported that he has the endorsement
Of General Coleman du Pont for the
place.
1t /; believed that owing to a num-
Der OF important appointments to be
made by the President that some ac-
ton will be taken on the boundary
commission matter before the close
OF this session of Congress.
The active part Senator Ball took
in the November election in Della
ware, where the largest Republican
majority ever given in a national
campaign was recorded, Will have
an important bearing on the chances
OF Senator Balls selection to this
appointment which is for life, and
which carries the same salary as
member of the Senate.
On the other hand, it has been
reported that in the event Senator
Ball returns to his practice Of medi-
cine in Delaware that he will be
come more active in Delaware poll
tics than ever before, and will un-
doubtedly become a candidate for
the Senate in 1928, and which is ex-
pected to be a hotly contested cam
paign. Many persons believe that
Colonel Thomas W. Miller will also
be a candidate for the Senate nomi-
nation.

Representative DrexIer Urges
That President Coolidge
Policy Be Applied.

Delaware's General Assembly now
sitting in its Tooth session, is doing
very little work; either of a con-
structive or destructive nature. The
members of the budget committee.
composed of six Democrats and six
Republicans, continue to wrangle
over the choice of a committee sec
retary, with both parties trying to
make political capital out of the sit
uation. The printing squabble bobs
up at frequent intervals in the
House.
Several bills bearing on the school
problem have been introduced. and
bills having for their purpose the
bettering Of highway traffic control
are up for action.
Mr.. Drexler last Thursday after
