If elected to our State Senate will con
slider every matter strictly upon its own
merits.
Regarding gas matters in Wilmington |
can truly say that think Mr.. Addcks was
wrong in erecting an opposition works, as
it tends to seriously injure legitimate in
vestments of men, women and children,
without being in the least advantageous to
himself
1t happens, however, that from the com.

neither he nor his company wishes any
legislation, and / learn from you that
your company also has nothing to ask for.

that can possibly be construed as damag-
