Dover Jan. l6-"Addicks is beatenr'
Those are the words upon the lips Of
nearly every one here but the close
friends and immediate followers Of the
gas man. They profess a confidence they
do not feel, and it deceivcs nobody.
Every phase Of the senatorial situation
thus far has gone to carry out the asser-
tion. lie boasted that the Republicans
would NOT dare ignore his call for a bind
ing caucus. Thirteen men defed him by
refusing TO sign his call and absenting
themselves from his caucus.
He declared that there were Democrats
who were willing to vote for him. The
Democratic members held a binding eau
Gus and signed a pledge TO act as a unit
ON the senatorial question throughout the
session.
Not an unexpected vote was cast for
him yesterday, and one or two claimed
for him We're cast for Regular Repubi.
can candidates.
Everything went against him IN the
opening stages OF the fight. and the con-
census Of opinion Is that it win 20 against
him 70 the end. He has men within his
own ranks who will not stand by him 70
the extent Of creating two vacancies, ana
this internal weakness is known 60 hiA
and gives him much concern.
The bnlloting yesterday indicated the
determination Of the Regular Republi-
cans 90 have nothing 10 do with the gas
fman. They voted for several Republic
cans, but none OF them at any time in the
day contemplated voting for Addcls
The Democrats remained true 10 their
caucus pledge 20 act as a unit. Addicks-
tie leaders are trying to dickcr with them,
but with no success All Oyertures are
rejected without hesitation or equivoca-
tion, and the friends Of the Clnymont as
pirant at last realize the utter hopeless
ness OF his situation. The fight promises
90 increase In intensity and bitterness as
it progresses and apparently is irrecon-
cilable with Addcks in the field. Many
of the moderate Union Republicans ia
vor his retirement, but he and his radi-
cal supporters refuse to listen to the sug-
gcstion. Feeling against permitting hin
20 maintain a deadlock is growing hour
ly and it rs working strongly among the
members Of the Legislature.
