on three occasions Addicks has ig-

resentation according to population TO

stances they have proved his undoing.
The first was when he attempted to
steal control Of the Republican party
by packing the Republican State Con-
vention with Addicls, delegates, and
followed this act up by changing the
basis Of representation therein. IN
other words he gave New Castle coun.

ADDlcKs AND THE GOVERNOR

Under the compromise agreement
outlined by the Addicksites and by
them submitted 10 the Republicans for
approval, the Addicksites demanded
the right to the first choice OF candi-
dates on the state ticket When ques-
toned concerning the import OF that
demand they frankly admitted that
they would choose the governor to be-
sin with. They we're careful, however
10 refrain from analyzlng the 'impor-
tance OF the Office and its far-reaching
effect on the Republican party
TO begin with, the governor has the
appointment Of more than 200 oni-
GERS. not including the registration
and election officers in-all three coun-
ties. We should be inflicted with Ad-
dicks judges on our bench. Addicks
state detectives, Addlcks election COM
missioners. Addicks Justices of the
peace, Addicks registration and cleo
tion officers, and Addicksites in every
appontlve crook and Granny in the po-
litical machinery of our state. We
should have the Addicks veto TO block
oil legislation looking to the procure
ment Of laws designed to cure dobasing
political conditions.
Bat the real purpose OF the Addicks-
ties in demanding the governor has
even more direct bearing on the polti-
cal future OF Addlcks himself The
Addicks leaders know that If the Re
publlcans and Addicksites jointly have
a majority of the members OF the Cen
oral Assembly the old deadlock will be
On full force and effect once more, the
Addicks members refusing all compro-
mise candidates for United States eena-
tor. and raising the cry OF "Addicks or
nobody" The scheme is for the dead
lock to continue to a certain point in
the legislative session. Then Addicks
is to drop out of the fight in favor OF
some servile creature OF his who will
execute an agreement to hold the office
until the Legislature adjourns. Then
the compromise candidate so elected Is
to resign, and the Addicks governor is
to appoint Addlcks to the vacancy sc
created.
That is the scheme The Addicksite'
may deny it, but it is the scheme al
the same. They may not have selected
their creature, but they have mature'

can approval to carry it into effect

The vote for Republican state SEN

The absolute unfairness OF the appor-

these figures. That gerrymander, &C

to such a scheme. The proposition to
name a State Committee from leglsla-

objection.
But on all three occasions there was
method IN the madness Of the Addicks-
ties They were strong in Kent and

down the Republican principle Of rep

and set up a Democratic principle of

expediency. IL suited their purposes.
