the party. They had been asked. he
said, 10 unite, each side accepting fair
representation. The Addicks people
had assured him that this arrangement
would be satisfactory 10 them, but the
opposing delegates had held out for
absolute recognition. agreeing TO make
a proper effort ito secure harmony In
state and national contests.
There was proposition TO seat the
Addicks delegation. but this was met
with a suggestion TO recommit the mat
ter to the subcommittee.
Mr.. Hanna took the floor in support
of this latter proposition. He occupied
only about five minutes time. but he
spoke with great earnestness. His
speech was an appeal for unity OF ac-
tion, and he said that no effort should
be spared to accomplish this end.
He referred to the objection of the
Dupont Higgins people to Mr.. Addicks.
and said that opposition 10 no one man
could be allowed TO stand in the way
of party success In Delaware or else
where.
II am satisfied" he continued that

in my appeal to secure a settlement of
this case. and this cause IL one that
appeals to the Common sense OF every
man here. We must put aside person
alfties. rise above petty pretudices and
take our stand on the broader plane
of patriotism and party success. The
committee cannot afford TO take up the
personal cause OF any set of men, much
less can 1t afford 10 espouse the cause
of any individual"
Concluding, Mr.. Hanna said: Il feel
an intense interest in this case be-
cause OF it's possible bearing upon ma
tional politics. and I appeal 70 you. in
deed, i supplicate the Delaware Re-
publicans OF both parties. 10 forget
that there has ever been a factional
fight in the party in your state and to
unite in the interest OF the common
cause, and II will not do TO forget that
the responsibility for any mistake that
will be made will be fastened upon
those who will make IL"
The senator's utterances were liberal
ly applauded by members OF the COM
mittee and when he concluded there
was no opposition TO the recommittal
OF the case. At I o'clock the committee
took a recess for two hours.

The question presented was whether
he had authority to cancel the original
policies upon taking out others.
The circuit court OF the United states,
Judge Brown presiding. held that he
had and now this decision is affirmed
by the circuit court of appeals. These
suits were brought to recover on the
original policies and the court holds
that the action cannot be maintained.
The opinion is substantially as fol-
lows:
'The suit was brought to recover on
policy of fire insurance issued by the
defendant upon mill property owned by
the plaintiffs. The case turned on the
question of cancellation. IL appeared
that one Tillinghast. an insurance
