A. MACHINE DEVICE

There are several newspapers in
Philadelphia which the Addicks press
agents in Delaware are unable to
work" One is the Philadelphia Daily
Evening Telegraph. BY its opposition
to Addlcksism It has done Republican
ism in this state a vast amount OF
good, and the service is appreciated in
all parts OF the state.
"Addicks, the gasman, promises to
rival the Pennsylvania machine leader

the ingenuity of his devices for defeat.

Delaware IL says. "The latest game
with the invention of which he is cred

ex-senator Quay, and might commend
itself to him for trial. in case Of an

The gasman's plan,in brief, is to secure
the goyernorship OF Delaware by trick
ing the Regulars into the support of a
common ticket at the next election,
and at the prOpitiOus time TO abandon
his senatorial aspirations in favor OF a
dummy who may be able to secure the
votes of the Regular members OF the
Legislature. Then, as soon as that
body has adjourned, the dummy SEN

sAuLsBuRY cREpII SYSTEM

Willard Salisbury, Jr, and Former
Representative l.. Irving Handy and
John G. Gray have been political part
ners for several weeks. How long that
partnership can last is predetermined.
They all want to go to the United States
Senate. Two will have to stay at home
for certain. In fact, IT is more than
likely that an three will fail
of election. Il looks already
as though Mr.. Salisbury is using
Mr. Handy and Mr.. Gray as
catspaws. The Salisbury men engi-
neered the selection of A. ii. Cahall as
chairman of the Democratic State Con-
vention. The Handy-Gray men engi-
neered the adoption of a resolution au-
thorizing Mr.. Cahall to appoint a new
State Central Committee. The Sauls-
bury men engineered the selections
made by Mr. Cahall so as to ensure the
election OF Mr. Salisbury to the Office
OF chairman Of that new committee, al
though Mr.. Handy had a longing for
the place. Now Mr.. Salisbury will use
Mr.. Handy and Mr. Gray as long as Il
suits his purposes, and then they will
go by the board and we shall behold
Mr. Salisbury coming forward next
Winter, in event of Democratic success.
and, claiming credit for all the accom-
plishments Of the new State Central
Committee he will ask for a senator
ship as a reward for his political
work.
Now that Mr.. Salisbury has the state
chairmanshiD he will use it for pur-
poses Of personal political capital. 1t
may be that Mr.. Handy and Mr. Gray
will be asked to assist him. There
may be an attempt to carry the State
Committee work into entirely new lines
to Offset whatever credit may be due
TO Mr. Biggs by reason OF his admins
tration Of the affairs OF the County
Committees of New Castle and Sussex
counties. and to Senator Richard r.
Kenney in consequence OF the work OF
the Kent County Committee. But
where do Mr. Handy and Mr. GRAY
come in under this Salisbury credit
system? Those who are watching the
game OF politics now being played by
the anti-Biggs men are wondering how
many weeks it will be before the
salisbury big fish win swanow Tia,
Handy-Gray little fish, or drive then
out Of the troubled waters.

Senator Blakely and Representative
Hushebeck We're elected by Republican
voters, and both betrayed their con-
stituents The Evening Journal re-
peats its declaration that the vote for
Republican state senators elected in
1898 was 5,4S4 The vote for Addicks
state senators elected in 1898, was 1928.
The vote for Republican representa-
tiyes elected that same year was 1885,
while the vote for Addiclxs represen-
tatives elected was 4,725. The absolute
.unfairness Of the apportionment made
by the Constitutional Convention is
apparent on the face of these figures
That gerrymander was accomplished
by the Democrats with Addiclxs' assist
ance. In their desperate plight the Ad-
dicksites are foundering over both fact
and fiction to set themselves straight
with their own voters who are leaving
them in large numbers.

ITS Low ESTATE

1t Is astonishing to what a low es-
tate a newspaper. once respectable, can
fall by reason of disreputable associa-
tion. There was a. time when the
Smyrna Times was one OF the cleanest
and most wholesome weekly news
papers printed in Delaware 1t had the
confidence OF the public because it pur-
sued course which merited at. But
OF recent years it has lost much of that
public confidence because II has made
almost complete surrender OF its edi-
torial conscience to Addicks. The ex-
tent OF that surrender is illustrated by
this senseless drivel:
IL was an uphill business with j..
Edward Addicks in reaching the Re
publican leadership. having the credit
In doing so of giving Delaware new
Constitution. and outlawing men who
disfranchised by the wholesale, and
snatched the offices of a whole county
from men who had been elected there
by the popular vote. Right or wrong
he took the methods, or one OF them,
that had been In the state for years,
and beat his opponents at their own
game. II his object is for peace and
purincation, he can make his political
exaltation one of benefit to an enfran-
chised people Once assured of this,
a popular impulse must be the result
from those so long kept under foot
From start to finish OF that para
graph there IL evidence of editorial po-
litical paresis superinduced by Ad-
dicksism. Ii begins with a falsehood
and ends with a falsehood, and between
the beginning and the ending 1t is
stuffed with falsehood. j. Edward Ad-
dicks has not attained the Republican
leadership to begin with. He has made
uphill efforts, but he is no nearer that
leadership than he was when he made
his first dash into Delaware politics. He
had no more to do with giving Della
ware o new Constitution than had the
car of Russia. The Republicans had
been working for a new Constitution,
in season and out OF season, for many
years before the name of Addicks ever
had been mentioned in connection
with Delaware's public affairs. They
had worked up a sentiment in favor
OF a revision OF our fundamental law
which was so strong that the Demo
Gratis, who were entrenched in power
behind the old instrument. had to heed
and respect It, All that Addicks had
to do with the new Constitution was to
defeat Republican candidates for dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention
and to give the Democrats control OF
that body. He entered Delaware poll
tics at a time when the Republicans
had the Democrats whipped. To save
them he deadlodSed the Legislature
disrupted the Republican party and has
perpetuated the power of the Demo
cratic organization. Ills object never
has been peace and publication, but de
Danchery and rule or ruin. His polit-
cal exaltation would mean the disgrac
OF the state and its people and the put
ting Of a premium on system Of po-
litical rascality never exampled in ths
history Of this or any other state.
The Smyrna Times knows that thes
things are true, and yet it inhicts OF
its readers inexcusable political false
hoods in its attempts to deceive them
We are surprised that it should engag
in such an insult to the intelligence @
Delawareans.
