MORE ADDICKsITE TREACHERY


Whatever the Republican party
gained ON Saturday was due to the Reg
ular Republicans. Whatever it lost was
due to the Addicksites.
The brains of the Campaign Com
mittee were in the heads Of the Regular
Republican end of that organization
The Addicksite members were simply
filters. so to speak, who did little or
no intelligent work for the success OF
the ticket Had the campaign been de-
pendent upon them the Democrats
would have won an overwhelming vic
tory.
Nine-tenths Of the effective work Of
the campaign was done by the Regular
Republicans. Three-fourths OF the
votes cast for the Republican ticket
were cast by Regular Republicans.
The Official ballots showed that
nine-tenths OF the political treachery
perpetrated was under the private party
emblem Of the freebooter who wants
TO 60 to the United States Senate.
Two years ago the Addicksltes by
their aeachery gave the Democrats
everything. This year they tried to
do it, as is shown by largely reduced
Republican majorities on a favorable
registration. but only succeeded in Civ
ing them City Council, the Regular
Republican voters saving TO the party
the balance Of the ticket Their drive
at David J. Reinhardt, the candidate
for city solicitor. and Seth II. Feaster.
The candidate for city treasurer, was
especially vindictive and treacherous.
In the Ninth ward William Paris was
defeated by Union Republicans. who
resented the bossism OF Magistrate
Francis S. Bradley, who forced Paris
on them against their desire. The ball
lots on which the defeated candidate
was cut were stamped beneath the star
and not beneath the eagle. There has
been a factional fight among the Ad-
dicksites In the ward for some time
Paris represented the Bradley faction
and suffered for his affiliation The
election officers in the Forty-ninth and
Fiftieth districts. where the cutting
was the heaviest, say that a large ma.
jcrity OF the cut ballots were stamped
under the star Bradley was repudi-
ated by his own people.
In the Twelfth ward, John Lynn. the
Addicks president Of the Levy Court
and his henchmen, the McCoys, father
and son, openly opposed the Republican
candidate for Council, Moro Mcmillan
anddefeatedhim. schiefonense in the
eyes Of Mr.. Lynn was that he repre-
sented a friendly feeling for Clerk OF
Peace Winfield S Quigley. whom Mr.
Lynn hates because of the Levy Court
troubles now existing.
The election of Democdrats I'm these
two wards gave the Democratic party
control Of City Council by one major
ity. But for the indefatigable work OF
the Regular Republicans in the Sec
ond ward. the Democrats would have
carried It. too. and the Democratic ma
jority would have been increased cor
respondingly.
In every Union Republican strong
hold the returns show Addicks treach-
cry In every Regular Republican
stronghold the figures show Repubn-
can party iealty. Take the figures
for the Third, Sixth. lower end OF the
Eighth. Ninth and Twelfth wards and
study them. The treachery Of Addicks-
ism is apparent on their very face.
AS we said before, everything gain
ed in the election by the Republican
party was due 10 the Regular Republi-
cans, while everything lost was due to
the Addicksites.
