Dover, Jan. Is. -"Addicks will not
BE elected United States Senator by
Republican votesp' This assertion was
made last night by Senator Samuel M.
Knox, "Nor will Addicks be elected
by Democratic votes I" This deolara
zion was made by Democratic leaders.
Indications point to the fulfilment of
these propheoies. Seven Regular Re-
'publicans tSenators Harry G. Ellison
and Samuel M. Knox and Represents
Clark, William r. Finn, Richard
announced that they will never vote for
John W. Dayett) will probably and
three (Senator Robert McFarlin and
Representatives James Kitchen and
James W. Robertson1 will possibly not
vote for him. Senator Benjamin A.
Groves and Representative Samuel III.
I 8Baynsrd are apparently on the fence
THAT divides the Republican factions.
Senator Stephen Slaughter has in his
possession papers eigned by all the
sDemocratic members Of the General
(. "a ssembly except Farlow, pledging
themselves not TO vote for Mr.. Addicks
Ind not to absent themselves from the
3nint assembly for the purpose OF re-
1ncing the majority necessary to elect.
6trong pressure fiom Washington will
s be brought to bear upon the Republic
X ohn factions to force them to unite,
but at least seven Regular Republicans
will resist 1t. While Senatorial dead
lock will exist for long time, there
Ire hopes that the Democrats will
1eventually assist the Regular Repubh-
srans in eleoting two good Republicans.
