Broad Greek Hundred De-
nOIInceS His Recognition
Robert G. Houston Says Republicans
Will Maintain Contest as Though
Nothing Had Happened

Robert G. Houston, of Georgetown
who was a candidate for Congress IN
1896, and an opponent Of Addirks, said
in speaking of the situation yesterday
afternoon;
we cannot recognize Addiolys be-
cause he is an unfit man. His only in-
fuence in politics is his money, and
the only vote he controls Is the pilr.
chasaDle vote, and his only strength is
IN the two lower counties. where such
methods are unfortunately effective.
The northerly county, containing VIII
mington, with a population of 100000,
has twenty-five members of the Legis-
lature, while the two southern coun-
ties with total population Of but 15.-
600 have thirty members. This is
where Addicks gets in his work In
Sussex county one-third of the vote~is
colored and purchasable; in Kent coun-
ty two-thirds Of the vote Is colored
and purchasable. Nor is venality con
fined to the colored vote
'Addicks can easily carry many dis
tricts in these counties for the legis-
lative ticket, but it is in Wilmington
that the real Republican vote which
has heretofore carried the state
for Republican nominees and
lections, stands and with
that vote Addicks can do nothing. We
were recognized four years ago, and
we carried the state. Now the resDcn-
sibility for the success Of the electoral
ticket is with Addicks. This, I suppose.
the administration understands. but IS
making a great mistake. tt ~
In saying this 7 do not imply any
threat but ! merely make a statement
of fact. There will be no division. so
Tar as we are concerned, in support of
Mr.. Mckinley-no good Republican
will cut him on this account-but this
issue, placed upon us by the action
of the National Committee may. / fear.
unfortunately affect the vote upon our
state ticket. The disposition of the
Of Mr. Addicks for the Sen
ate is matter for the state to decide
and Il will probably be settled concm-
siYely at the coming election Notwith-
standing the action taken at this time
we cannot assume the responsibility
for Mr. Addicks. We will 90 to work
TO defeat him in the state. We shall
organize our State Committee. and go
on with the fight as though nothing
had happened"
