special TO the Evening journal,
Smyrna, Oct. 3l.-The edict sent out
from the Union Republican head
quarters in Dover and supported by Ad-
dicks official organ OF Kent county,
that two tickets would be in the field
during the next campaign, caused con-
sternauon among the would-be office
holders Of this hundred. who follow the
gas man. Rumors had been heard IN
Smyrna that such an order would be
issued. but little credence was given
them The Addicks contingent OF the
three upper Representatives districts Of
Kent are not taking kindly TO The shift
ing scenes OF Addicksism as the
changes are happening with such fire.
Quoncy OF late that the average Union
Republican is asking where are we
at?'
The Addicksilc who Is seeking a
nomination for an appointment TO of
fee is legion. When Governor HUM
told his little romantic story there was
a roar in the Union ranks like "a mighty
Niagara that roar hardly had begun
TO subside when the twO-tlclIet scheme
was sprung upon the faithfuls here.
Deep were the curses heaped upon the
IaytOn-Allee element residing at the
capital. as those two lieutenants OF Ad-
dicks who never have been held in high
esteem by the Duck Creek Union Re
publicans. are said to be the origi-
nators of this plan which is destined
to cause many quarrels among the
Addicks men Of this section owing 10
the large number who have ambitions
for political office The Regular Re
'pnbllcans Of Kent have long predicted
two tickets. but tho Union workers
who hope to see their names upon the
next county ticket told the rank and file
there was absolutely nothing in these
reports. claiming tho opposition to Adj
.dickism would cease before November,
1902. and that the Regular element
would be glad to join them when they
learned that President Roosevelt was
going to award the federal patronage
TO the followers Of Mr.. Addicks.
10 does not take a politician to tell
what the Presidents attitude I'm the
factional fight OF this State has done to
AddicRsism or n prophet to foretell
what The result viii be- A Union Re
publican office holder said to the cor
respondent OF the Evening Journal tho
ether day: 81 guess our boys had bet
ter go back and sit down We nre
practically out of the fight and to be
frank with You. many Of us will be glad
when Addicks is driven from Della
wares political field"
Addicks has caused nothing but strife
ana discord In the Republican party of
Delaware since he came to this Stale
some twelve years ago. Thoughtful
ana respectable Republicans of Kent
now recognize that the Regulars have
been iighting for principles and honor.
They point out that all voters that have
the good name OF the State at heart
should unite I'm a mighty effort to
crush out AddiclSslsm and It's banoful
effects from little Delaware. Under
the Addicks regime a carnival of high
handed debauchery has been carried on
until now the franchise Of the common
wealth is i'm danger The strength of
Addicksism lies In purchase and the
fact no longer can be concealed that
even many of Addicks' trusted lieuten-
ants do not want him elected In other
words, they propose to keep up the
strife that the graft" can be worked
20 their advantage notwithstanding
the States fair name is trailed in the
dust Kent Republicans are beginning
to realize that to compare Union Re
publican principles with Regular Re
publican principles, is like comparing
dross TO gold Addicksism cannot
stand test of this kind. hence the
downfall of such a corrupt organization
is predicted When that time comes.
as it viii next year, there will be great
rejoicing in smyrna and vicinity
