AnnlcKs IS DEFEATED

From now on until the close of the
present session of the Legislature, the
public may expect to be informed by
various Addicks newspaper CORE
spondents that Mr. Addicks will be
elected senator. The same old stage
settings are used. but will be simply
regilded, revarn.shed and rearranged
We all know them by heart. The re-
gliding and reawanging may deceive
some people, but not many.
First. we hear pressure is being ex-
erted from Washington, then the Ma
tional Committee is going to interfere,
then Addlcks has obtained more Regu-
lar votes. then ON some important day
some Democrats will stay away from
the Legislature; tnen some important
parsonage generally imaginary In
importance, often imaginary in fact
has been to Washington and heard
somebody say something. These ru-
mcrs settle the whole question and
elect Addicks.
AS a matter of true news we make
this statement: Mr. Addicks win not
be elected to the United States Senate
We base this statement on one good
and sufficient reason. He will nor
have enough votes to elect him to that
position. The administration has moi
brought any pressure to bear on The
Regular Republican members OF th'
Legislature and will not interfere witt
their voting as their consciences die

every Republican could and would have

ii is a condition and not O theory"
that confIonts US. Sixteen CT the Re
publican assemblymen are voting for
Mr.. Addicks and say they will never
consent TO vote for any other candidate
unless he be one of the two senators
while the other thirteen are as posi-
tive that Mr.. Addicks shall never be
senator by Republican votes. although
pledging themselves to vote for any
ether two Republicans OF standing

unlawful and immoral means had been

Regular Republicans are willing TO be
held up TO the public scon and indig-

Farlow King and Clark only two years
ago. So unless Mr.. Hanna can find
some way bO getMr Addicks out of the
fight he and the people Of Delaware
may LOOK to see the State unrepresen-
ted in the Senate for two years. When
Mr. Addicks was making his fight for
recognition atthe National Convention.
in Philadelphia last June, he was
asked by the Committee on Gre
dentials. if, I'm the result of
Republican success, he would stand
in the road OF the election
.of two senator's. His answer
was that he would not. But
50 far he has failed to get out OF the
road. Perhaps he may yet see the i'm
possibility of his election and clear
the way. When that day comes,
II will not take but one ballot to elect
