ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE

UNIONISTS WILL NOT GET ALL

Smyrna, Nov. 10. The newspapers
of Delaware are devoting considerable
space to speculation as to who will be
officers Of the House of Representatives
In every Instance, it Is stated that
Union Republicans will get the offices.
The articles are creating much amuse-
ment among the Regular Republicans,
and it is intimated that they will have
hand in the organization OF the
House,.
"While the Union Republicans have
1S members of the Legislature to our
49, says Regular Republican, "that
does not necessarily mean that the
Union Republicans will organize the
House, This remark is rather sig
nificant, and coming from the source it
does, there is strong suspicion that
the Regulars will have an understand
ing with the Democrats, and that the
Addicks Republicans will be left out
In the cold again. In fact, the gentle
man above referred to, intimates as
much. He says the Regulars are just
as much opposed to Addicksism as
ever, and will do all in their power to
crush it out.
A quiet boom has been launched in
favor OF Representative John Pilling,
N the most outspoken anti Addicks man
Bamong the Regulars, for Speaker of the
u House. He would be very accountable
y to the Democrats. It is also said thai
William A. Gum of Sussex county ha:

Because they contain the right materials.

THE sgSAToRsHiP.
A Large Field OF Candidates From Which
TO Make q Selection.


Republicans all over the State are
active In the matter OF making prepare
ton for the election Oh d United States
Senator to succeed Hon. George Gray,
by the Legislature, at its approaching
session. 53li
1t was stated Saturday morning by a
prominent Sussex county Regular Re-
publican that three Republicans who
have been elected to the Legislature
from that countyiwill not support j.
Edward Addicks finder any considera-
ton, but, as far as is known they do
not bar any other Republican whose
name has been mentioned in that con-
nection. 1t is believed that at least
five in this county have taken the
same stand, and II such is the case,
Mr.. Addicks' chances do not look very
bright
While the men who will not support
Acldicks are having very little to soy,
it is probable that some of them at
least will refuse to go into a caucus, or
IL they dc, caucus will have an under
standing that such action will not bind
them to support the caucus nominee.
The persons whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the
Senatorship are ex-senator Anthony
Higgins, Congressman Jonathan s..
Willis, Col. Ii. A. du Point, William
du Pont, William S. Hilles, DIR. Hiram
r.. Burton and j. Edward Addicks. II
is understood that there are five men
whose first choice will be Col. du Point.
Missionary work is being done in the
lower part of the State by New Castle
county Republicans, with the hope Of
having the candidates in line before
the Legislature meets.
