THE SITUATION
in DELAWARE.
Fight Between the AddickS and Higgins
Elements for Control.

The Republicans of Delaware are in tur-
MOL over the question of delegates to the
State Convention to be held in Dover on
May 18th, at which delegates to the Ma
tional Convention will he chosen. There
will be six delegates two from each county.
Four will go as delegates-at large and two
will represent the Congressional District.
The state convention will comprise one
hundred and sixty delegates.
Mr.. J. Edward Addicks wants to be a
delegate to the st. Louis meeting. The
Higgins-Dupont faction is opposed to the
millionaire's aspiration. The fight be
tween the two factions for control OF the
convention began as early as last October,
and has continued with undated activity
ever since
The Addicks men claim that they will
elect full delegation from Kent and Sus-
sex counties, and at least ten delegates in
the city of Wilmington and rural New
Castle. This would give them control of
the convention and eleven votes to spare.
On the other hand, the Higgins people
argue that they will elect a solid delegation
in Wilmington and rural New Castle
county and more than half of the Sussex
delegation. This would give them unques-
tionable control of the convention and the
right to name majority of the delegates
to the National Convention Kent county,
they concede, is strongly for Addicks, al
though they will make a strong effort TO
split the delegation and prevent the election
of Addcks. Addicks's best chance of So
curing a seat in the National Convention
lies in Kent county.
Notwithstanding that they are appar-
emily sanguine of success, it is nevertheless
true that the followers of Senator Higgins
and the old conservative element of the
Republican party have become alarmed at
the growth of the Addicks movement in all
parts of the State.
In view OF the pending fight and the
claims of both factions, nothing definite
can be said as to how Delawarc's delegation
will vote at the ST. Louis convention. 1t
has been the custom among the Repubi-
cans to allow each county to select its owr
delegates. This custom, no doubt, will be
observed this year, in which event, if the
Higgins people elect solid delegation in
Wilmington and rural New Castle and
majority in Sussex, a majority of the dele
gates to st. Louis will vote for Mckinley.
If, on the other hand, Addicks's friends
elect solid delegation in both Kent and
Sussex, as they claim they will, four of the
delegates to the st. Louis convention will
probably vote with the Pennsylvania dele
cation. At all events, Mckinley will get
at least two votes from Delaware, as New
Castle county will undoubtedly be in the
hands of the Higgins faction in the State
Convention. In the event, however, of
Mckinley failing to get the nomination
on the first ballot, there is a possibility
that these two votes will be shifted to Reed
