the solid Sussex county delegation at
his back and with the certainty of one
member from New Castle county and
one from Kent county Mr.. Addicks is rs
sure of winning the Senatorial chair us
two times two makes four.
Mr.. Addicks first began to perfect his
plans over two years ago, by having the
Republicans in Kent and Sussex county
get together and smoke the pipe of
peace. The party was organized and
every mans right to cast ballot looked
after, How it has turned out il can |
best be Judged from the way old Sussex
Topped and Kent reduced its old time
Democratic majority to 80. A Republic
can sheriff was elected by 10 majority
and one Representative by 20 majority
In Kent.
Mr.. Addicks accompanied by his old
time friend, Mr.. Robert Handy, Senator
elect from Brandywine hundred, visi.

Georgetown on Thursday and seemed
more than pleased, as Delawarean alter
Delawarean rushed up and grasped him
by the hand Mr.. Handy in his Chester
field way introduced the people to Mr..
Addicks as their next Senator from
Delaware, who grasped him cordially
by the hand and wished him luck. The
support of II members of the Legisla-
ture will insure the election of Sena-
tor, and that is the exact number that
Mr.. Addcks is said to control.
He was the lion of the occasion, as
much fuss being made over him as over
the governor and Congressman. He held
regular leyee from ~ until O'Clock,
and grasped the hands of hundreds Who
called to pay their respects to the dis
tinguished gentleman.
Mr.. Addicks is gentleman, and his
father was one before him. He is a
shrewd and honest business man and
has made hundreds of friends in Will
mington and throughout the State since
his II years residence amongst the Blue
Hens Chickens.
He is kind of heart and loyal to a
friend and has one of the best of memo
lies for names and faces. He is in every
way qualified to represent Delaware in
the United States Senate. lie would
not be only figure head, but would re-
fleet credit on our people. lie is highly
respected by the people OF Kent and
Sussex, who say they will stand by him
to man and seat him in the United
States Senate. Hurrah for the neXi
United States Senator from Delaware

Who should it be? There are tW
candidates seeking the honor. One, Il
Hon. Anthony Higgins, expecting it /
right of presidents. The other, j. E'
ward Addicks, because he is ambition
