ANTI -ADDICKS ASSEMBLYMEV

Dupont and Richards Appear to be Gaining

q. EDWARD lDDICKS' HAS THE SAME OLD SIyTEEN

los1 dU4Ou leaders Will
have the effect of bringing powerful
pressure to bear on the anti-Addicks
men with view to whipping them in
to line for the millionaire leader
Surprises were forthcoming in this
days vote in that Representative
Kitchens took his seat after a severe
illness and lined himself up with the
short term Senator, supporting Rich
ards the literal caucus nominee of the
anti-Addicks people. The vote i'm de-
tail was:
Byrne's Strange Position.
District Attorney William Michael
Bryne of Delaware, was the most i'm
portant visitor at the hall OF the House
OF Aepresen, atives ON Thursday, for he
came in the interest of two United
Staues Senators, even if one had to be
j. Edward Addicks. SO recently a con-
tidential adviser of Colonel Henry A
dupont, the Regular Republican lead
er, this attitude of Mr. Byrne created
nothing short of a sensation. He had
not only come TO advocate the immedi-
ate choice of two Senators, but had
been to Washington seeking Admins
tration assistance to bring about that
end. When asked if Colonel DUPONT
was really hedging and would accept
the Senatcrship with Mr. Addicks az
his colleague, Mr.. Byrne said:
"Oh, remember am a free lance in
this matter, distinctly, and have had
nothing whatever from Colonel Du-
Pont. Any Republican deal that did
not include Colonel DUPONT as one Of
the Senators, however, would be dis
graceful and not to be tolerated"
The Democrats went into confer
ence, but it was learned afterward, late
Thursday afternoon that they only
discussed the Legislative a;torneyships
and selected, instead of Former Judge
David 7. Marvel, as was anticipated,
Former Secretary OF State James H.
Hughes, who will probably be accept
able to the Republican majority in
connection with the two other abtor-
neys, both Republicans, who are to be-
selected.
The Pairing System Adoptets.
After much confusion in the House
and Senate, the legislators got together
On an agreement regarding Saturdays
session of the General Assembly. They
made every effor. to avoid the neces-
sity of coming 10 Dover for a Saturday
session, and at last, with advice of the
attorneys, prepared this resolution:
Resolved, That all pairs for to-
morrow's session shall be recorded
with the clerk before the adjournment
to-day and any member so paired shall
not vote for United States Senator at
said session tomorrow without the
consent of the member with whom he
paired
On motion of Mr.. Monaghan the
members arose and announced their
pairs as the roll was called as follows:
Aron and Goodsn, Baynard and War;
ren, Clark and Hardesty, Clendaniel
and Pepper, Dayet. and Shallcross,
Hearn and Layton, Healy and Robert
son, Kitchens and Monaghan, Finn
and McCommons, Holcomb and Pill
ling, Hutchinson and Prettyman, Long
and West, Moore and Wright, Ralph
and Short, Vinyard and White.
The Senate pairs are as follows:
Ellison and Hart, Blakely and
Wright, Brasure and Harrington, Nc
Farlin and Clements, Knox and Maull.
Abbott and McNulty, Groves and Pen
newill.
Messrs. Ewing, Hope, Scotten and
Hutchinson of the House, and Messrs.
Alice and Slaughter of the Senate, will,
therefore, do to-day's balloting.
One of the most amusing incidents
of the afternoon i'm the arrangement
of the pairs occurred when the name
of Speaker McCommons was called
The Democratic list had been exhaust
ed and there were only a few Republi-
cans left who would be compelled to
some to-day. The name of Speak
er McCommons was being called by
Dr. Moore, who was acting as clerk,
and who called very Loudly, "Mr.
Speaker" three times. Finally Mr..
Finn, who is apparently the leader
of the Regulars in the House, arose
and walking down the floor, said, ''I'lI
pair with Mr.. Speaker" Both are Re
publicans. but they differ 80 widely on
! the Senatorial question that their pair
ing provoked rounds OF laughter.
