who VIII with persuasion. accept the Of
Zee. Mr.. Abbott contested J. Frank Al
lees leadership and WAS far more popular
as a leader than Alice. The Dover sena-
tor made many breaks which showed that
ne did not possess as much tact as q
leader as did Mr.. Abbott For instance.
Mr. Alice made a mistake when ne tried
to browbeat the Regular Republicans
into voting for Mr.. Addcks and by at
tempting to hold up the Jfnrnhurst Ap-
preparation bill. There was an exciting
time on the floor that day and when Mr.
Alice realized his position he issued the
order to the Addicksitcs TO vote for IT,
Mr.. Abbott may be renominatcd, and if
renominated may be reelected. as the
Fifth senatorial district is regarded as
Union Republican.
Frank Alice unhesiiatingly says that
he will vote for Mr.. Addcks forever aud
that he shall be the FIRST Republican sen
aior elected to the Senate from this
State. When questioned ms to the failure

Governor John Hum since the adjourn

Ibis willingness tn rcconvcne 10 n extra
session as soon as the Republicans can
agree ON senators. Mr. Alice says that

crnor HUM stands ready t0 convene the
Legislature if Republicans senators can
Doe elected. hut Mr.. Alice says that only
ON one condition will the body bc recon-
ycncd and that Is that Mr.. Adidcks be-
one of the senators chosen.
None of the Republican leaders will adj
init that the Rehoboth love feast is more
than a meeting TO get better acquainted
with Mr.. Addicks, but all agree that fu-
ture plans will undoubtedly be talked
over.
The Regular Republicans of Kent coun-
ty are as strong and determined 10 de-
feat Addicks as ever. They will have
separate nominations for the Legislature
in every district as they have in the past.
Mr.. Mensch, former chairman Of the Reg
ular Republican County Committee, is as
frmand determined as ever TO prevent the
election of Mr.. Addicks to the Senate. He
says: The price is too great. and that
every one can rest assured that they are
as loyal to the Regular organization as
ever"
