speaking for himself and his father, the
companys president, says:
"On the question of Addicks' election
to the Senate we stand where you will
find a majority Of the business men OF
Wilmington stand, that is, unaiterably
opposed to any compromise with such a
man. We believe Mr.. Addicks to be unfit.
lie has vitiated the politics Of this State.
We deplore the fact that two senators
were not elected by the Legislature, but
feel that such a condition IS much better
than to have man like Mr.. Addlcks pos
ing as our representative at Washing
ton"
J. j. Sattcrthwaite, the vicc-president
and manager of the Remington Machine
Company, says:
Put me and my concern down as un-
compromlsingly opposed to any compro-
mise with Addicks."
The secretary of the Wilmington Saw
ings Fund Association, Wilmer J. Ellison,
is thus reported;
| 81 say let 1t remain as It is. Addcks
has played the dog in the manger so long
that his election to the United States
Senate under any conditions would be an
everlasting disgrace. Two vacancies are
preferable any time TO Addicks' cleo
ton"
The secretary and general suporintend-
ent of the Joseph Bancroft and Sons
Company. John Bancroft, says:
Speaking as business man. 1 would
rather have no senator at al Than to have
AdGcks. think our interests would be
conserved much better 10y The senators
| from other States than with him i'm the
Senate as our representative. His eleva-
tion 90 such position would be a menace
ana detriment TO the business interests
of Wilmington"
Henry b. Thompson, treasurer of the
same company and president of the Bran
dywine Granite Company says:
while it is disappointing that the Leg
islature adjourned without clecting any
senator's / feel that II is a satisfactory
sc.ution TO every citizen of Delaware who
believes in the honor Of the State"
The secretary and treasurer Of the
Trump Brothers Machine Company, j. r.
Honecker, says:
Let there be vacant seats all The tlme,
If there are only men like Addlcks TO oc-
lcupy them"
And likewise E. Tatnall Warner, presi.
