SUSSEX FOR ADDlGKS.
A Prominent Republican Speaks
Out in His Favor.

DR.. G. Il. Layton Says That AddIctss Came
to the Rescue of tho fnrty When Others
Eefused--shouid Have the Senatorship
for His Money.
DIR. Caleb r. Layton of Georgetown,
ono of the most active Republicans in
Sussex county, has communication on
the United States Senatorship in the
Ne,Cs of yesterday, in which he says;
Now, what did Mr.. Addlcks do In the
midst of this hard and tyrannous con
dition of the partyP Did lie say:
"Elect your ticket and then | will step
in and buy seat in the Senator No.
After appeals had been made, and made
in vain, to the older leaders of the party
for the money to organize the party
and to infuse new life and hope through
its members, to prevent 1900 delinquent
taxables from being returned by the
Levy Court of Kent and Sussex--I am
writing the Sussex and Kent side of the
case. BY doing this 1t was possible to
even nominate State and county tickets;
to secure complete and hopeful or
ganization in the face of the Democratic
machine, to enable the liberty-loving
people of Kent and Sussex to free
themselves from the thraldom of Demo-
cratic unscrupulousness.
repeat that, after every effort had
been made, and Mr.. Higgins himself
had plainly written his inability to fur
nish the necessary means for party or
ganization, Mr.. Addicks, candidate
for the United States Senatorship for
six years past, came forward and alone
supplied the only means which could
give the Republicans of Kent and
Sussex any expectation OF a successful
fight against % hitherto victorious politi-
cal machine. 1t is intimated in certain
quarters in New Castle county, and by
writer from Milford, Del, that every
friend of Mr.. Addicks is yenal and cor
rupt, and that to advocate his candidacy
is open proof Of the same. What can
be, and must be said, Of those who
knowingly received the assistance of
Mr.. Addicks in all the preliminary work
of the campaign-I speak Of Kent and
Sussex--after all other appeals for as
sistance had been refused, and who were
fully informed during the whole of the
| fight that no assistance was being rem
| dered by any other person to place men
upon the assessment lists; to pay de-
| linquent taxes; to arm and strengthen
the party struggling helplessly before a
merciless machine, and who now stand
as participants and victors in the recent
| fight and yet spurn and villify the hand
that armed them in the conflict?
| leave that contemplate position for
highly honorable men. Ii it is foul and
corrupt-this spending money to prose
cute political campaign-why moi
have refused the use of it? Why dc
these honorable objectors do the same
thing Are these high-minded immacu
lates willing to profit by another's liber.
ality, without even according fair treat
ments
Mr.. Addicks is a candidate for the
Senate. He has been a candidate fo
six years. He has been the great stay
and suppors of the Republicans of Ken
and Sussex in the last two campaigns
and, in the most recent, the only en-
couragement they had. He does no
stand in the attitude of trying to bribe
Legislature. He stands confidently rely
ing upon the advocacy and the votes o
the members of Kent and Sussex in th'
next Legislature in return for what HI
has done for the party When thel
give those votes they will thereby dis
play the evidences of an honorable obi
CATION and will not allow themselves t
be diverted therefrom by the politica
Pecksniffs who now, the hard fight i
over, rise to the surface and loudly de
mand, with virtuous air, to be allowet
to dictate for US in lower Delaware.
