UNIONS RUSH
TO PHILADELPHIA
Last Hopes Of Recognition
by National Committee
Have Fled

Union Republicans are becoming more
disturbed as each day rolls by. because
they believe that their last chances OF rec
ognition by the National Convention have
disappeared.
The great air bubble, over which thew
hugged each other with Joy last week. has
been pierced by the watchfulness OF State
Chairman Browne and the members Of his
committee. There is no question about
the worry which the activity Of the Repub-
lican State Committee IS causing them.
Chagrin overlook them in it's worst form
when they were confronted by the an
nouncement that their Washington sympa-
thizer, Secretary Dick, OF the National Re
publican Committee, had recognized Mr..
Browne as the chairman Of the "Republi-
can State Committee"
Such hurrying as there was down the
state yesterday has not been seen since
legislative days. There seemed to be one
purpose and one destination. All the Union
leaders included among whom were state
Chairman J. Frank Alice. Dr. Caleb r

COUNCILS INcoMPETENcY

For financial incompetency the DEM
ocratic City Council of Wilmington is ON
a par with the Democratic Levy Court
of New Castle county. But there is
this to be said of the Levy Court which
cannot be said Of City Council-it As
able to elect its officers. Since last
July there has existed among the
Democratic majority in City Council n
deadlock. IL had its being in the con-
tentions of members over the spoils Of
victory given to the Democrats by
j. Edward Addicks Two states were
set up. One was supported by six and
the other by four Democrats. The
contending factions, who had ten of the
thirteen members Of City Council. were
unable to reconcile their differences
and the old officers have held over
much to their joy and much to the
ehagrin of those men whose names are
written on the two Democratic slates
Now a movement is on foot TO effect n
compromise. Those Democrats who
are in Office are doing everything pos
sihie to preserve the present status. for
several of them are on neither slate
On the other hand, those men who are
on the two slates are averse TO a. com
promise because nearly half of them will
be sacrificed by such proceeding
These are anxious days for the Demo-
cratic oifice-holders as well as for those
Democrats who hunger for plums. and
every Thursday night brings with il a
load Of apprehension to some and low
ful anticipation to others. AS it is ru-
mored that a determined effort will be
made to break the deadlock ON next
Thursday, we may expect to see the
City Hall crowded with Democratic can
didates and workers who have axes to
grind
We venture the prediction that the
deadlock will not be broken. The COM
bination Of four Will continue TO stand
out against the six, for the wants oil
the four are so numerous that the six
cannot satisfy them.

GUARD THE TREASURY

With a Democratic majority of mall
contents, obstructionists and incompe-
tents, the public has abandoned all
hope of creditable legislation by CITY
Council The rapacity Of spoilsmen
has prevented IL from fulfilling the
duty Of electing city officers; It's ex-
travagance and lack OF business sense
has emptied the treasury and created a
deficit, and its anxiety to help itself
out Of its discreditable position by
placing City Treasurer Hannah in ant
equivocal position is what has led to
the controversy now existing. regard
ing certain funds in the city treasurer's
keeping We advise Mr.. Hamann to
stand firm against the persuasions and
threats Of the members Of the Finance
Committee, and not to surrender a dol
lar Of the money in dispute until he and
his bondsmen are satisfied fully that
the members OF City Council are law
fully entitled TO receive and spend Il.
The mere fact that City Council is
pressed hard for money with which to
meet current expenses is no excuse for
such demand. A higher principle is
involved, and the public recognizes it.
If the Finance Committee does not. Il
would be well for the Democrats to
have watchdog Of the treasury at all
times, for In their eagerness to spend
public money they are prone to ignore
the legal and moral safeguards thrown
around il.

REPUBLICANS FULLY REcOGNIzED

There has been a fun and complete
recognition by the Republican Ma
tional Committee OF the Republican
party Of Delaware and the Addicksites
are mortified exceedingly. II takes the
form OF the enrolment on the list OF
delegates from the several states of
that delegation named by the Republi-
can State Convention to represent Del
aware Republicans in the Philadelphia
National Convention. IL goes farther
than that, for it recognizes as the Re
publican State Committee that organi-
cation OF which Postmaster Hugh C..
Browne is the executive head.
But few days ago the Addicks press
agents We're spreading broadcast a
story that the Republican National
Congressional Committee had given Off
cial recognition to the Addicks State
Committee, and that It had failed to
enroll on its list Of state committees
that committee OF which Mr.. Browne
is chairman. They endeavored to Gre
ate the impression in the public mind
that the national organization had Of
ficially recognized the Addlcks party
as the Republican party in Delaware,
and that that recognition gave posi-
tive assurance that the Addicks dele
gates would be seated at the Philadel-
phia Convention. It devolved upon the
Republicans Of this state to show that
the presence OF the names Of the Ad-
dicks State Committee on the list of the
Republican National Congressional
Committee signihed nothing with re-
gard to the National Convention. but
sather constituted the work of Repre-
sentative John H. Honecker. the mem
Der OF the committee from Delaware.
The Aidicks leaders knew the hoi-
lowness Of their claim. but they made
the best use possible of Il to impress
upon the public mind that at last they
had obtained national recognition. Their
effort was short-Hved. The recogni-
lion Of the Republican party and IT'S
duly accredited delegates by the Repub-
ANNN +faNA'AtA ANMmllltt NNNNC the
National Congressional Committee in
cident so insignificant in political inn
portance that the Addicksites, who rec
ognize that II presages the action ofl
the National Convention, are almost
wild with disappointment and chagrin.
They endeavor to belittle the potency
OF the recognition just accorded the
Republican party Of Delaware, but itl
cannot be done. The public fully un-
derstands the difference between Rep
resentative Honecker handing to the
Republican National Congressional
Committee the names of thel
members Of the Addicks State
Committee. and the National Re
publican Committee putting ON the Ma
tional Convention rolls the names oil
the Republican delegation from Della
ware. The former means nothing; the
latter means that the Republican dele
cation will be seated, and that the Ad-
dicks pretenders will be thrown out in
Philadelphia as they were in ST. Louis. |
