BEDLAM BROKE LOOSE
AFTER The BALLOT

Dover, March s, lis p. m.--After the
gavel dropped, a cheer burst from the
Addicks side for the gasman and his
party.
The Democrats, led by Representative
Holcomb, led back with rousing cheers
for the Democrats and Regular Republi-
cans. Then the Regular Republicans
present gave their yell Of triumph, and
that capped the climax.
Senator Groves acted like a wild man.
Damned traitors" he yelled with tears
in his eyes.
The Evcning journal has in its safe
statement made by the same Senator
Groves that he was not an Addicksite,
but a Regular Republican hunting for
Addicks votes at the common primaEies
At the time he made that traitorous
statement he had tears in his eyes, too,
and was begging the Evening Journal to
stop fighting him for the nomination for
state senator.
President Pro TEN Ellison yelled the
big bully down for his outrageous re-
mark, and so did Representative Chan
dler, who told him that he Chandler
could not be bought with Addicks money.
He also told Charles II. Kittinger, the
Addicks lieutenant, who has kept away
from Dover most Of the session, the same
thing

"rhe administration has no candidate
for United States senator in any OF the
states where contests prevail" said Sena-
tor Hanna 10 a journal reporter. we

cies in the Senate"

was not true thar the administration was
pushing Mieklejohn in Nebraska, Carter
in Montana and Addicks and DUPONT in
Delaware.

particular candidate in any Of the states.
My information is that all the Republi-
can candidates in Nebraska, Delaware
and Montana are exceedingly friendly TO
the president and 70 his administration.
"Our talk to-day has not had TO do with
the relative claims Of any candidates, but
how TO break up the deadlocks and give
the Republicans their true representation
in the Senate. We hope we shall have
achieved that result very soon"
