besides such feminine things as gloves
and hairpins. Any woman can imagine
what a never failing joy it would be to

TALK OF A DEAL

Il is stated In some quarters that the
Addicksites are endeavoring to gain
members OF the General Assembly in
New Castle county by trading with
certain Democratic candidates and
their friends. An Addicks man publicly
stated this morning that James B.
Toman, the Democratic nominee for
sheriff, would run 800 ahead OF his
ticket, and that two Addickslte candi-
dates for legislative honors would be
elected, one of them being from New
Castle hundred. An Evening Journal
reporter called upon several of Mr.
Toman's friends this morning and ask
ed them what Il meant. 1T means that
that Addicks man, whoever he was
lied" said one Of them. Jim Toman
never yet went back on his friends
and If you hear anybody saying that
he is trading his fellow Democratic
candidates, just say to the man for me-
that he is an outrageous liar. jim
Toman is willing to run his chances
with the rest of the ticket, and he will
never become a party to a deal with
Addicks or the regular Republicans.
