The Addichs men have been asking who
would pay the taxes Of Kent aud Sussex
county Republican delinquonts II Addicks
we're not elected. The announcements Is
made that Mr. Massey has answered that
question in q very material manner The
poll taxes due and unpaid amount ia
about 81, 600 in the two counties. He
has sent about 81 500 to Sussex county
by Chairman John johnson, of the Repub
lioan County Executive Committee, and
put mp $500 In Kent yesterday afternoon
guaranteeing tho balance needed ia both
counties This leaves Addicks out Ia this
shuttle and his ffisnds ars very bitter

when he heard IL And yet MASSEY is not
q candidate. I would rather see II ggns

this way"
Harry Richardson Is also figuring as

as the Higgins men will never go to him
or Addlcks at least six of them know
no third man and will vote for Higgins
all Summer If necessary.
WIN IL Bo q Democrat?
Ex Speaker OF the House William L
Sirman, OF Delmsr, was seen actively
circulating among the politicians aud
members All day yesterday He Is m k
ing an almost irresistible fight for the
office of state treasurer, understanding
that, In case Of compromise, the Repubi-
cans,will take the state auditor 1t IS said
that when the Democratic members cau-
cused for United States senator the
matter Of state treasurer was Brought
up, discussed and put TO vote, which
stood Sirman, 4 Burnite, 3 and one vote
for a man whose name cannot be ascer.
tained On the strength Of that Informal
caucus Mr. Sirman has gone into the
fight and is making it exceedingly inter
esting
State Treasurer Burnite evidently does
not consider the caucus binding. Heis
eanvassing most industriously FOR votes
enough to make him the party noaines
in event Of an agreement being entered
into by the Democrats with either the
Higgins or Addicks men
IL Is said that the Addicks men are not
sverse to becoming parties to such q
scheme, feeling that they would thereby
frighten the Higgins men and make them
come to terms, rather than have Demo
cratic and Addicks legislators to combine
and shspe legislation public IN character
Some II the Higgins men say that the
Addicks men will not bs allowed TO name
either state treasurer, state euditor or
United States senator
Chsrlss Adkins, of Sussex county, an
Addicks man, also wants to be state
,rssanrsr, ard will make hot fgbt for
IL. The csuous 10 select the Republican
nominse will be held to morrow evening
and thsrs may b another bolt as the
caucus is not to be binding and the
Aodicks mon will try TO defeat Quiglsy.
Pyie would Not Caucus
Representative Moore was circulating
pstition among the Republican mem
bers yesterday for caucua on the
question of a compromise with Democrats
for state treasured aud state aaditur One
Of the frst Higgins men he asked 10 sign
was Representative Frederic Pyle, OF
Wilmington,
"No, said Mr.. Pyls, who evidently
thought Il sn Addicrs trick, Il won't 20
into any caucus l went into one and
We named our candidate for United
States senator
oh but this is simply g conference
replied Mr. koore
Well, if that's all It is III go in, " be
replied
The conference was held at the Hotel
Richardson last evening Il resulted
ID the naming Of Winfield S Qngley,
Of Wilmington; George d Kelley, of
niddletown, and George E smith Of
Laurel. for state treasurer. and Timothy
Townsend, of Suesex county, for state
auditor
There was no selection made OF the
eandidaie4 for state treasurer because
he conditions under which these officers
are TO be elected are such Rs TO uecesai
tate some compromise between the two
parties whicn will doubtless result in
he election Of one Democrat and one
Republican The Republicans want to
take the treasurer, but the Democrats
have not yet fully conceded IL
The Democratic conference resulted in
the naming of ex Speaker of the House
w. J. sirman. of Delmsr, for state
treasurer. and David S Wilds, Of
KenJon, defeated candidate for sheriff Of
Kent county, for state auditor This
makes It look as though Quigley will 30
made treasurer and Wilds auditor. The
matter may be settled to day Be this
ss it may, tho higgins men have ont
generated the Addicks and Massey men by
getting the fruits Of the comproiaise.
