Clearly That Such is
Not the Case.
From Staff Correspondent
DOVER, DEL, Nov. 30.-Judge Penne-
will, of this county, State Senator elect
J. Frank Alice: and DR.. T. Z. Moore, of
Smyrna, are not candidates for tho
United States Senatorship, and notwith-
standing published statements that these
three gentlemen we're seeking the eena-
torship, their names will not be offered
to the General Assembly when it meets
Eere next January.
Ever since the Republican success in
this State on Move mber 8, the names of
these three gentlemen have been placed
before the public as candidates for the
United States Senatorship. However,
neither Judge PennewIlI, Mr. Alice nor
DR.. Mosre have ever announced that they
were candidates to succeed Hon. George
Gray.
Today, to THE Sun all three of the
above named gave authorized statements
each to the effect that he was not
candidate for the Senatorship in any
manner whatsoever.
Judge PennewilPs name has been read
so many times in connection with the
Senatorship that it was thought that he
was indeed candidate.
However, he is not candidate for the
Senatorship and his statement together
with those of others who were men
toned clearly defines that they are not
in the Senatorial fight.
Judge Pennewil gave to TIE Sun the
following authorized statement:
1.-THE thought of being a candidate
for the United States Semai aiOrshfb
never occurred to me. 1 most GER
tatnly am not candidate"
James Frank Alice, State Senator-elect
from the Third Senatorial district, ridi-
cules the idea of his entering the United
States Senatorial contest. Mr.. Alice was
seen today at his place of business in
this town and he gave to The Sun this
authorized statement declaring himself
not a candidate:
II am not a candidate for the United
States SenatOrship. MY name has
been used as such without my consent.
have been elected by the people Of
the Third Senal Orial District of Kent
county to represent them in the Gem
eral Assembly f r four years. ThatI
State SenatOrship."
Another prominent Repu lican of Kent
county whom it has been announced is a
Senatorial candidate is DR.. Thomas c.
Moore, of Smyrna. While in Dover this
afternoon DR.. Moore gave to The Sun
the following statement:
II am not candidate for the United
States SenatOrship. 1 am for j. Ed
ward Addicls for Senator. If it is
impossible to elect Mr.. Addicks, am
then for the man whom he may
name."
The statements Of Judge Pennewill.
Mr.. Alice and Mr.. Moore show clearly
that these gentlemen are not candidates
for Senatorial honors.
The names of DR.. G. r. Layton, of
Georgetown; DR.. George W. Marshall, of
Milford, and Hon. Harry A. Richardson,
of Dover, have been used during the past
few days in connection with the Sena-
torial fight. Gentlemen who are in po-
sition to know state that DIR. Layton,
DR.. Marshall and Mr.. Richardson are not
for the United States Senator
ship and did not iutend to be.
The Senatorial contest in this State
has developed not only spirited poIiti-
cal fight but also an attempt on the part
OF some newspaper men to place in the
field large number of candidates who
are considered as such only by those
men.
These newspaper men are the cause OF
the names of Judge Pennewill, Mr.
Alice, Mr.. Richardson and Drs. Layton,
Moore and Marshall being used as can
didates for the vacant seat in the
Senate.
The newspaper men who thus started
such reports in circulation did SO with
out consulting any of the gentlemen
and in every case published
4 lie.
The animus back Of these publications
was an effort to fill more space in the
paper which the correspondents repre-
'ented thus insuring a larger check at
he end of the month.
THE Sun prints the truth. The Sun
loes not say that any man is candi-
late for the United States Senate until it
earns the truth from that man himself
In Delaware today the situation is
his: Judge Pennewill, J. Frank Alice
md Dr.. T. G. Moore have stated through
The Sun That they are not candidates for
he Senatorship. Political friends Of Dr..
}. r. Layton, DR.. George W. Marshall
nd Harry A. Richardson state that these
Gentlemen are not in the field
J. Edward Addicks has stated that he
5 a candidate for the Senate and Presi-
ent Mckinley names George Gray as
andidatc. There seems to lie but two
andidatcs in the field.
