II there are any men in the Republi-
can party who look with favor on the
entreaty which the Addlcksltes are
making that the party come together,
elect Addicks and a Republican and
end the fight in the party let them
pause a moment and inquire, Would
it stop the fight in the party2"
Most assuredly It would not. mo
question is ever permanently settled
until il Is settled right" Between Ad-
dicksism and Renublicanism there
yawns gulf as wide as that which
divides good and evil.
Addicksism has its cornerstone laid
In corruption. Its strength lies In its
appeal to mems cupidity, ambition and
selhshness. Its keys are set to play
upon the basest chords OF mans MAJ
ture. There are no good or noble in
stincts to which it appeals.
But Republieanism stands for vastly
different things. 1t stands for honesty
in government IL stands for public
virtue. II stands for public good. It
stands for patriotism.
These opposite forces cannot work
together. They will not mix. They
cannot amalgamate. The moment Re
publicanism accepts J. Edward Ad-
dicks as one OF its leaders It strikes
lbs flag TO Addicl5sism. Its honesty,
its public spirit. its patriotism, all are
gone II sinks to the low depths OF
Addicksism and is lost. ....
No, 1t would not end the fight in the
party. The men who have represented
and do represent what Is best in the
Republican party Of Delaware to-day
will never serve under the banner car
ried by Addicks. The fight will go on
and must 90 on from the very nature
OF .hings until Addicks is eliminated
from Delaware politics. To put him In
Office, with the opportunity to fill the
Offices with his creatures and drag
our civil policy down to the wretched
