THE TWO sENATORsHIPs

One Of the personal organs of Mr..
Addicks embodies in an editorial on
the harmony state ticket the declara-
tion that the Republicans "are pro-
yiding for the election Of county and
district officers. but with the ultimate
purpose Of preventing the election OF a
Republican to the United States SEN
ate We brand that declaration as
false. There never has been a time
since the cleavage in the Republican
party that the Republicans have not
been more than willing to elect Re
publican 10 the United States Senate.
Two years ago they showed that will
more representative Republicans and
more representative Repblicans and
Union Republicans for that office, and
had the Union Republican members of
the Legislature demeaned themselves
with the same liberality Of spirit a
vacancy would not have resulted. But
they said "Addicks or nobody TO all
comors. and refused to vote for any
body else. This year the Republicans
want to elect two Republican United
State senator's, but how can they do
it when the Union Republicans in Kent
and Sussex counties permit Mr.. Ad-
dicks to set up legislative states COM
posed OF men bound to what he de-
clares to be the undylng principle OF
me or nobody" and ready to create
another deadlock to carry out his be-
hest? We have said it before, and
we say It now--Mr. Addicks cannot be
a United States senator from Delaware. |
Republicans Will not assist him in OBJ
tanning a position in this contest in
which he can block the election OF two
Republicans to succeed Mr. Gray and
Mr Kenney. II he will remove his
shackles from the legislative tickets
down the state and retire from the
field the Republicans will demonstrate
to his complete satisfaction that they
not only can but win elect two United
States senators.
