If the Addicksites are satisfied with

was sent to the Addcks county commit
tee, and today the Republican newspa-
pers declare that it was satisfactory.
In what manner can the Addicksites
explain their satisfaction? 1t is apparent
by the reply that the Regular Republi.
cans of New Castle county do not pro-
pose to 60 into caucus with the Addicks-
ties OF Kent and Sussex in event OF Re-
publican and Addicksite victory next
month. They have placed themselves
in position to stand out with Demo
cratic minority, in such an unlikely
event as victory, and balk not only the
organization of the two houses and the
election of J. Edward Addicks to the
United States Senate, but also any and
all pet legislative schemes which the
Addicksites may have in view to
strengthen their own position in Kent
and Sussex counties. This must be
eminently satisfactory to the gas man
and his friends, coupled with the pug
nacious attitude of Chairman Mensch

The nominees on the Republican ticket
have concluded that they would not give
any post mortem pledges to the letter
sent them by the Union Republican
Committee. They very wisely came tc
the conclusion that the voters did not
require them to make any pledges.
They, as candidates received the votes
of their constituents, who were the
judges OF their RepubIicanism, and, as
such, were willing to vote for them,
nothing more was asked of them OF

pensltes OF some men, who have set
themselves up as leaders, should be
curbed and their pledges flung in theil
faces. None but men who can be trustee d
should have been nominated. All honOl
