With these words j. Edward Addicks,
the Union Republican State leader, ad-
dressed the members of the New Castle
county committee on Saturday after
noon. In an unusually iorcible manner
the keynote of the Union Republican
campaign against the Democratic party
was struck at that meeting. Union Re-
publicans prominent in the party in
each county gathered at the headquarters
at Fifth and Shipley streets, and the
words OF Mr.. Addicks were endorsed by
score Of speakers who addressed the
county committee.
State Chairman ]. Frank Alice OF
Dover, DR.. Caleb r. Layton Of George
town, Dr. George w. Marshall of Mil
ford, State Senator Webster Blakely, eX-
Mayor Stansbury j. Wiley, Sheriff john
E. Taylor, Walter II. Hayes, National
Delegate William B. Clerk and Clayton
White made addresses.
Col d. P. Barnard was elected secre-
tary and treasurer of the county COM
mittee.
After the business session of the
county committee was concluded Mr..
Addicks said:
81 am more determined than ever this
year that the Union Republicans shall
defeat the Democrats. There is plenty
of room for the boilers to come over.
The Union Republican party is gaining
strength daily, and whether,the delegates
a1e seated or not it is the duty OF the Re-
publcans to go in for one common pri-
mary. Then there will be only one ticket
in the field. Otherwise there would be
two tickets from electors to the office OF
inspector.
'Self interests are not to be consid-
cred in the campaign this fall. The
United States Senatorship should not
prevent the Republican party from win
ming victory. Elect the members OF
the Legislature and let them chose the
Senator'S"
DR.. Caleb r. Layton, chairman Of the
Sussex county committee, spoke of the
situation. He said: "The fidelity o! the
Union Republican party to the Nationa
Republican party has been subject oi
common remark among members Of the
national committee. The Union Repnb-
licans returned from St. Louis and elect
ed Mckinley electors in this State. Two
years later they elected Republican
Congressman. In return they have not
received single favor from the Presi-
dent. Yet amid all these trials the
Union Republicans have been faithful
to the National party. Four years ago
the national committee had conf 1ence
in men who they believed to be the
leaders of the Republican party. They
ex press themselves now against the mass
of lies which they accepted without in
We vtstigation."
Concluding DIR. Layton said the olive
branch had been held out to the boilers
ever since they first strayed away. The
door is still open to them and to all who
have the welfare of the party at heart.
William Hollingsworth, member OF
the county committee from Mill Greek
hundred, addressed the seventy men
present, saying that after four years
trial he felt more determined than ever
to fight for the Union Republican cause
He said he believed it to be party o
principles.
From Sussex county the news o.
Union Republican strength was brought
by Representative Mark L. Davis Sew
