 Friends who saw me on the street stared at me as though I had risen from the dead. l shall always be grateful for the good Grape-N Nuts food has done for me.

HANNA's POWER GONE.
Letter to. Republicans of Delaware
 Legislature Has No Effect.


 Philadelphia, February 12 - special from Dover, Del, to the Bulletin says:
 There are no indications that the let
 CT of Senator Hanna to the Republicans of the Delaware Legislature, directing 'hern to elect two Senators, one of whom shall be MT. Addicks, will have any eff feet upon the Senatorial situation here. While the regular Republicans are ready to elect two Senators, one of whom shall oot be MT. Addicks, they are not willing to consider any combination that includes Addicks for one of the two Senatorships. And Addicks, with majority of the Re publican members behind him, will not consider any proposition that jeopardizes his nomination. This Is the situation and 1t makes the deadlock inevitable, with every prospect that 1t will continue to the end of the session.
