To CAJOLE
AND DECEIVE
Party Nominations Dictated By
One Man Not Acceptable to
Rank and File.
VOTERS GETTING TIRED OF IT

ADDICKs AND HIS LEADERS ARE
THE OBSTACLES THAT PREVENT
HARMoNIzATIoN OF THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY IN DELLA
WARE-THE RANK AND FILE
DESIRE PARTY UNITY AND
PARTY SUCCESS; THE LEADERS
SEEK ONLY Personal SUCCESS.
II is becoming more apparent every
day that the leaders who have hereto
fore been employed by Addicks to ca
jole and deceive the people into sup
porting anything he demands are get
ting tired Of this self-appointed leader
ship and propose to act only for the
best interest OF republicanism. The
one man business of setting up and Sc
lccting candidates for the various Of
fees. in the different districts; the is
suing of orders as to everything that is
to be done in politics, by one man, IS
contrary TO the peoples idea OF sell-
respecting manhood and they are get
ting tired of t. These same Addicks
leaders are very earnest in their talk
fer harmony, but there is a growing
suspicion among the voters that these
leaders do not want harmOny-they
might be out of job. The people are
at last beginning to see and under
stand that these leaders are the real OBJ
stacles to a united party and conse-
hannrga fhaW ara
working for Mr.. Addicks and not for
republican success. lt must be Mr. Ad-
dicks first and the party second II
makes no difference to these followers
of Addicks what becomes Of the repub-
lican party so long as Mr.. Addicks gets
what he wants. The political wants or
ambitions Of Addicks can be stated in
few words He wants to be senator.
If he cannot be, he wants to prevent
any other republican from being sena-
tor This has been his policy and his
every act is proof Of our assertion, and
it has resulted in the defeat Of the re-
publican party and consequent demo-
cratic success. Many men have mis-
takenly assisted Addicks in these ef-
forts ny voting the ticket his hench-
men have set mp for them They have
considered Addicks as means to re-
publican success and have been will
ing to use him as such. Addicks, on
the other hand. has always con-
sidered the Darty as a means to his
success and has used it as such The
great difference in the two intentions
is now very apparent and becoming
more so every day, because in each
case the means employed has proved
Intellectual to bring about the success
desired. Addicks (h) as the means has
not brought the success these repubh-
cans desire. The party as the means
has not brought success to Addicks.
Consequently they are both compelled
to seek other help. Addicks has turned
to the democratic party, he has re-
celved and is seeking more assistance
in that quarter-in fact he thinks his
salvation depends upon it. But how
can this action on the part of Addicks
be acceptable to the republicans who
have been willing to use Addicks as a
means TO defeat these same demo-
Gratis and when we say same we mean
just what we say. because the very
same democrats who as leaders and di-
rectors OF that party have made It a
stencil in nOstrils OF all good Della
wareans and so unbearable to repub-
licans that they are willing to accept
any means that promised delivery, are
the very same democrats who are now
plying their trade OF vicious political
debauchery and trickery as democratic
emissaries of Addicks. Is it any wonder
that good republicans are becoming
disguised with Addicks, his leaders and
his methodist Is it any wonder that
self-respecting republicans who have
heretofore supported the union repub
lican ticket and who must think and
do as the Addicks leaders dictate. or be
damned as traitors. are rebellinl
against such leadership and propose L
demand that honorable republican sue
| cess must be the first and great objec
OF mCl who desire to pose as thei
leaders.
The campaign is fraught viii
possibilities. It's successful termina
ticn depends upon the manhood anS
honest purposes Of the republican
voters, whose suffrages control TIL
situation for veal or woe.-Sussex Re
