The regular Republicans Of New
Castle county have decided to name 4
straig htout partisan Constitutional
Convention ticket. With that end In
view they are holding two district con-
ventions In Wilmington this afternoon.

drtds compose the Second District Con-

Eve of the Constitutional Convention
delegate nominees after making the
ward or hundred spportionment
All the morning prominent regular
Republicans have bsen busily engaged In
fixing up the convention organizations
and trying to get men slated for place on
the ticket Addicks and his adherents
played a small part In The proceedings,
although few conservative Addicksltes,
who wished 10 cali of the fight 80 far as
the Constitutional Convention branch Of
the ticket Is concerned, were
praying for the nomination OF men who
could be supported by both regulars and
Addicksites at the general election The
regulars, however, are not IN the com
promising business this year and Ad
dicks end Addicksites must take what
ever the regulars will give them or set
up q ticket oi their own. Every day
adds to the strength and prestige Of tie
regulars In this county. They have Ad
dicks on the run and do not propose to
give him anything but cold shoulder aud
hot ehot. They are even defying him TO
place an opposition ticket in the field, as
serting that such a step on his part
wonld bs little short OF suicidal.
