else his extraordinary prerogative, re-
move Dr. Layton from the ticket ant
nut Mr.. Willis on as a substitute. BY
this action we have no doubt that they
Twin please Mr.. Hanna, who desires
THAT the next House Of Representatives
lshal be solidly Republican, and who
would resent any action on the part OF
Addicks and his cabal which would
tend to prevent It. especially as Ad-
dicks assumed full responsibility for
the outcome Of the campaign in Della
ware when ne became national COM
mitteeman, and said that he could
carry the state without any assistance
from Republicans.
With respect to the two United States
senators. the only apparent solution is
that Addicks shall retire from the field
voluntarily, or that his followers shall
compel him 70 do it in event OF his
refusal to do so. His ambition 70 be a
United States senator is the tap-root Of
the upas tree Of Addicksism which
well-nigh has blighted Republicanism
in Delaware. If Mr. Hanna can exer-
else an influence which will convince
Addicks and his followers that Addicks
never can go to the United States SEN
ate from Delaware. and that he is
playing the act Of the party wrecker by
remaining or being permitted to re-
main, in the field, he will do the state,
the nation and the Republican party a
signal service which will result in the
restoration of harmony in Delaware
the redemption of the state and the
election Of two Republican United
States senators by the next Legislature,
one TO succeed Richard r. Kenney and
the other to nll the vacancy caused by
the retirement of George Gray and the
creation Of a deadlock by Addicks when
the Republicans made earnest efforts 10
elect Mr.. Gray's successor.
These are the only things with which
Mr.. Hanna will have anything to do in
Delaware except the matter Of the gov
ernocship Addicks has nominated one
of his creatures for that Office, hoping
that by a roundabout way he can break
into the United States Senate. The
plan is for Addicks to agree to a STRAW
man for election to that office, with
the understanding and express agree
ment that he resign Immediately after
the Legislature adjourns, when the Ad-
dicks creature who occupies the execu-
tive chair will appoint Addicks 20 illi
the vacancy. Republicans will accept
no creature for governor and no straw
man" for United States senator. They
want men among men for both offices,
and nothing else will satisfy them.
Therefore, if Mr.. Hanna and his
colleagues come here in the interest Of
the work Of the national organization
they will have three things to do:
First-To insist that Addicks pull
down Dr. George w. Marshall, his can
didate for governor, and put the name
OF Martin b. Burris, the Regular Re
publican nominee, on his ticket
second-That Dr. Caleb r. Layton
retire as the Addicks candidate for rep
.resentative in Congress for the long
torn. and that Jonathan S. Willis, a
true Republican and a friend Of the
national administration, be accepted as
the Union Republican candidate.
Third-That Addicks abandon his
mad work Of corruption and disruption,
and also his hare-brained attempt TO
break into the United States Senate.
II Mr.. Hanna will do these things the
Republicans viii have single state
ticket and single tickets in all the coun-
ties and the Democratic party will not
have left a single leg to stand on. Della
ware will give Mckinley three electors
two United States senators and Re
publican in Congress and the Republi-
can party will assume full control OF
the legislative and executive machn-
cry OF the state in all respects, as ii
would have done long ago but for tn,
nefarious work of Addicks and hil
lcabal.
