STAFF Correspondence EveningsJournal.
DOVER, Jan 2S The political prophet
who predicts an early termination of the
senatorial deadlock has no honor In this
section of the country. The best
that may be said is that Il may be weeks
or months before anyone of the several
candidates will receive the votes requisite
to elect him.
There may be some changes in the
personnel Of the vote but they will avail
nothing so long as four determined Re-
publicans hold out for Senator Higgins.
Hon George V. Massey or J. Edward
Addicks on a full vote of the General
Assembly.
Neither George v. Massey nor ].
Edward Addicks can possibly be elected
The only thing which they can accom-.
plish is to block the re election OF Mr.
Higgins and endeavor to compel him to
throw his votes TO a Republican as vet
unnamed but who would be acceptable to
all three factions. They cannot do It
There is no Republican of ability who Is
not tainted with fRctlonalism, and, even
If there were, Senator Higgins is not the
man TO allow his political enemies to
triumph over him.
''If the next United Estates senator
comes from New Castle county it will be
Anthony Higgins" said an anti Higgins
representative to me to day. Talk of
Edward G Bradford, Col BENJAMIN
Nields, William @. Spruance and other
New Castle county men is mere bosh.
What we hope is to transfer the honor
to either Kent or Sussex county, How
well we shall succeed time alone will
tell"
A Boom for Bradford.
John L. Vanssnt, of the Highlands,
has started boom for Edward g Brad
ford. A number of the Republican mem
bers have received letters from him OF
which the following ia sample:

A Good Deal of Banter
The Democratic members are in th

their natural enemies SO entsngled In th
meshes OF factionRlism. They indulge /
good deal of banter, which is wei
taken by the Republicans.
"If You folks don't turn In next wee
and elect a Republican senator We ar
going to elect a Democrat" said on
member to another on Saturday.
Don't you worry" was the reply

senator when the proper time comes"
"A Good Thing to Work Up."
"Some Republicans are afraid that,
there is any indication of q vacanc
