hddloks Ovnrreaches Himself

From the Baltimore News.
There seems 10 be a good prospect
that the political bungling CT J. Ed.
ward AddiclSs will so arouse Delaware
public sentiment as to keep the gas
man from the United States Senate
Mr.. Addiclks seems now disposed to use
his money as a sandbag for business
interests opposed to him as well as
for the purpose of corrupting and Win
ming over voters. His latest feat is an
attack upon the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company, Of Wilmington, a BIG
shipbuilding corporation. Horace W
Cause. vice-president Of the company
came out a few days ago in AN inter
view opposing Addicks' candidacy. Mr
Addicks retallated In an advertise
ment intended to damage the financial
standing Of the shipbuilding company
The attack on one OF Delaware's 3
leading industries has already proved
q boomerang for Mr. Addicks. Mr.
Cause has replied denouncing as false
the statements Of the wOuld-be sena-
tor. An appeal is made to business
men asking If they are willing that
such man as Mr. Addicks should rep
resent them in the United States SEN
Mr.. Addicks, the business community
OF Wilmington was considerably
aroused against him. This Will solid
ify and extend the opposition. While
Mr. Addicks appears to be able to hold
In line a sufficient number of the
Delaware legislators to prevent the
election of United States senators from
that State. there seems no prospect
that he can make any marked gains
The Democrats in the Delaware Legis-
lature are holding aloof, and It looks
as though the statement is well
grounded that not one will support Mr.
Addicks. Colonel DuPont's forces thus
far have maintained a solid front. Mr..
Addicks is anxious to compromise. but
the other side will not listen to It, Col
onel DUPONT appears to be more anx-
lous to keep Mr. Addicks out OF the
United States Senate than to gain
seat for himself With the sentiment
of the best people Of Delaware so
strongly against him, it Is the height
of folly for Mr.. Addlcks TO start
campaign which must finally solidify
the business interests of the State
against him. If anything additional
were needed to show Mr.. Addicks' ut
ter unhtness for the place which he
seeks. IL could be found in his readl-
ness to strike down one Of the great
interests Of Delaware for the sake Of
personal advantage. There is still
room to hope that Mr.. j. Edward Ad-
dicks will never be in position to dis
grace the seat in the United States
Senate honored by such a man as the
late Thomas r. Bayard,

Mr.. Towne's speech, the credentials Of

of the day was devoted to the Indian

creazing demonstrations Of public sem
timent, which sets strongly against his
candidacy. Some Of his fellow citizens
who apparently did not quite under
stand the character of the often de-
feated aspirant, have thought that he
would retire from the contest when he
learned that he was really beaten. and
by his retirement made il not only
possible, but easy to insure the cleo
tlon OF two 1T Republicans TO the Sen
ate from Delaware. But Mr.. Addiclss.
in his published announcement OF the
9th instant, makes 10 quite clear that
unless the people Of Delaware consent
to his election their State shall remain
Tor two years unrepresented in tho Ma
t.onai Senate. it is freely given out
that he will agree to the election OF a
Democrat TO one Of the senatorial seats
If tho other is given to him. or that
ne rs willing that the opposition shall
elect one Republican senator II he also
shall be elected. IL this statement OF
his supporters is correct, It viii be per-
ceived that Addicks is not particular
as to how he gets into the Senate. all
ne demands is that he shall go there.
The hope Of Delaware and of the
whole country is that he Will not get
there, and the prospect Of his defeat is
at present quite satisfactory. The mere
fact that he remains in the field as a
candidate, though aware that his con
tinued candidacy may deprive Della
ware Of representation IN the Senate.
should be of itself convincing reason
for his rejection by the Legislature.
The consensus Of public sentiment VIII
be that a candidate who puts his own
selfish, sordid interests above those OF
an entire commonwealth is not ft TO
hold The Office Of senator Of the United
States, or any Office Of trust honor
and responsibility.

BLOW AL SlnI MACHINES

Judge Gaskill, Of New Jersey Is
making a determined and effective
war against sl0t-machines and Other
devices for gambling which are now
so common in saloons in all parts OF
the country Last Saturday when the
applicants for licenses appeared be-
fore him he asked each of them IL h
had a slot-machine in his place OF
business. Many Of them admitted that
they had. whereupon he told them
that no license would be granted q
any place where such gambling devices
were used. The applicants declared
that they would remove the machines
az once. and thereby saved themselves
The judge announced that he is de-
termined TO put stop to this method
Of gambling. and that the saloon
keepers must remember that if they
disobey his injunction they will plac,
themselves and their business in ieop-
ardy.
The slct-machine has become Z
great favorite with those who deligh
in taking chances, but .t is admitte,
that any device which is not so con
structed as TO afford a substantial re

ADplcks MAKES A cnMPRnMlsE

Many persons do not understand why
Mr. Addicks has himself voted for for
the long term and also for the short
Term. 10 must be a compromise to ad-
just a family difficulty.
Shortly after the November election
Mr Addicks announced that he had
decided TO take the long term, and
ae wculd take Mr. Higgins with him
for the short term.
Mrs. Addicks wanted Mr. Hilles.
Here is internal dissension.
Evidently Mr. Addicks has compro-
missed the whole matter by determining
10 take both terms for himself.

Quit the field

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Mr. j. Edward Addicks gave out for
publication on Sunday last state
ment that all reports TO the effect that
he will retire from the senatorial con-
| test In Delaware, and thus permit the
election of two United States senators,
are inaccurate. that il is his intention
TO remain a candidate until elected,
even though by so doing he depriyes
that State of senatorial representation
Unless all signs are misleading, Mr.
! Addicks will be candidate for sena-
tor indefinitely. since they all indicate
the improbability. IL not the impossi-
bility, Of his election During the sew
eral years that Mr.. Addicks has strenu-
ousy contended for senatorial honors
he has employed all means known to
the shrewd, practical politician to ac-
complish the object Of his ambition.
These means have not always been
such as the wise judgment and the
good conscience of men of honorable
political ideals would, or could, ap-
prove; instead OF that, they have been
not infreQuently of a character which
conflicts with the general impression
OF senatorial dignity and propriety. Nj.
Addicks is in the fullest meaning OF
the designation "a practical politician, -
and the opinion, most candidly and
lemphatically expressed in the columns
OF the Ledger, Of some OF the most d.s-
! tinguished men of Delaware, of the
men who represent in especial degree
the great business interests, and the
personal worth Of the people Of that
/ State, is that they would prefer that
Delaware 81 ould remain unTepresented
In the Senate Of the United States
rather than it should be misrepresent
cd by Mr. Addicks in that body.
The opposition to the election o
MIR. Addioks to the Senate has beer
continuous. strenuous and cumulative
- and that il exists for cause Is irrefut
, ably proved by the facts that 1t is 81,
+ resolutely maintained. and that th'

and appropriate We all plead guilty

If the Republican party is a party OF
treachery / will help bury it ten thou
sand fathoms deep"
This is strong, picturesque language
Of course an impossible creed; still,
Mr. Addicks must have been pleased
with the vigor of the verbiage.
That he has followed consistently
the attempt to bury the Republican
party of Delaware ten thousand faith
oms deep, goes without saying He
has lined up 10 the tenor of his dis
patch Yet up to date, the party has
not been sunk. He may defeat II tenn
porarily. but the Republican party of
Delaware will live long after the
name of Addicks is forgotten
