The New Castle County Republican
Committee has nothing to do with
their afrairs. To all intents and pur-
poses 1t Is a separate and distinct or
ganization.
with am honest desire for Republl-
can success the Republican County
Committee here has gone to the Union
Republican County Committee and
said:
Lets get together in this county and
defeat the Democrats"
To this it has received the reply:
I'VE will give New Castle county TO
the Democrats unless you can induce
the Republican State Committee and
the Republican County Committees in
Kent and Sussex to accept our states. q"
That was the ultmatum. 1t was die
tated by Addicks. The chairman Of the
Union Republican County Committee
was merely his mouthpiece. The Re
publicans cannot believe that the Union
Republican voters and candidates for
office in this county will submit TO
this action which deprives them OF all
hope Of realizing anything from the
approaching election. Some OF them al
ready have rebelled especially those
who have heretofore placed faith in the
false cry OF Addicks for harmony. The
hollowness OF that cry is now manifest
to all. It is apparent that II the Ad-
dicks leaders have not already con-
summated a conspiracy with the Demo-
Gratis to hand this county over to them
In November they are laying the
ground for such action. Therefore it
becomes every voter opposed to Demo-
cratic rule to get registered on Satur-
day and vote at the Republican pri-
maries on August 20 to the end that
this design Of Addicks may be defeated.

STAFF Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Aug. "A discovery has been
made by Warden Ten Harrington in the

which puzzled all Dover last winter.
After the General Assembly had aG-
journed 4. \. Watson. Clerk Of the
House. was waylaid and robbed of his
pay which he had just drawn. He was
knocked senseless and many thought thar
he had been sandhagged, but as he show
ed little signs of bruise or cuts, the Of
icers were at a loss to know what sort
of weapon had heen used. Nora David.
a woman about S2 years old, was arrest
ed and convicted. and received a sentence
of seven years. Recently she has caused
much trouble by disorder in her cell and
was consequently removed by Warden
Harrington. He did not give her time 10
gather mp her few clothes, so in removing
them himself he found sewed in dress
a small sack filed with tightly rolled rolls
Of tin foil. and having handle similar TO
a blackjack. This is the weapon which
so haifled the Dover authorities.

iron WORKERS WILL
DISCUSS CUT In WAGES

Since the reported cut in wages has be-
come a reality the employees of the Dia-
mond State Steel Company seem to be
brooding over the matter and trouble is
looked for.
The puddlers and other employees ar
fected by the reduction OF wages have
little TO say upon the subject, but quietly
have passed the word around for the
holding of a meeting ON Saturday night
for the purpose of considering the action
to be taken by them. Some Of them say
that there will be walk-out and that the
men will refuse to work for SO per ton,
when western mills are paying $3.50.
The iron workers in Lebanon, whose
scale Of wages was the same as the WI
mington mills. refused TO accept a cut OF
81 per ton, and went out yesterday.
The plan of action will be laid out at
the meeting on Saturday night.
Should the men go ont there will be
four or five hundred of them and the
mills probably will have to shut down.

THE ADDlCKS WAY

Tickets made at conferences do not
have the stamp Of popular favor. The
Union Republican way is to have the
voters select the candidates for county
and district officers at primary cleo
tions. and TO elect delegates to state
at which the delegates-elect
shall make state tickets. Such tickets
are sure to have the popular favor and
win victories at the polls.-Addicks
Organ.
But what about tickets made by Ad-
dicks on the front porch OF his home
IN Claymont? They certainly cannot
have the stamp OF popular favor. A
conference has the virtue Of compari-
son of ideas but a front porch politi-
cal monologue has nothing to recon-
mend It. We assert that the Union
Republican way is to have Addicks se-
lect the candidates and then to hold
state conventions and primary cleo
tons to ratfy his selections. His per-
.sonal demands are many and he recog-
nizes that the servility OF his follow
ing will permit any assumption OF
power.
Long before the primaries Of his
party are held he performs the work
OF his state convention by nominating
DR.. George w. Marshall for governor
DR.. Caleb r. Layton for representative
in Congress and Walter II. Hayes fol
attorney general. How does this ac
ton comport with the Union Republi
4 can way" outlined so naively by th'
, gasman's mouthpiece?
