/ ican state Convention was the Dig
gest happening Of the week The CON
lvention did what was expected OF It
lrenominated the present State onicers.
or course this was distasteful to Ad-
dicks, Alice, Layton, ct al, Dut they
Iwere not considered.
The announcement made by Alice
land later by the Gasman himself, that
DR.. Ball would not be endorsed by tne
i Union Republicans, is not surprising
If Dr. Ball is not endorsed it means
of course, that Delaware will be rep
resented in the next Congress by
Democrat, presumably by L. Irving
Handy.
Addiclzs is still candidate for sena-
torial honors. but how he hopes to
reach the goal OF his ambition by de-
feating the party is something difficult
to understand.
The naming of William Michael
Byrne for Congress by Addicks is one
of the surprises OF the week, and
looks like an understanding reached
between them before Mr. Byrne started
on his tour" of being interviewed.
The Gasman probably sees in the
District Attorney an element OF
lstrength which can be controlled, says
Mr.. Byrne. This element is the Cath
olic vote for Addicks. which no other
man, Addicks, thinks, can control. II
Mr.. Byrne can get this vote for the
Union Republican candidate, it will be
\ taking votes from the Democrats, as
most of the men of that faith are
! Democrats.
1t is understood that a prominent
'want-to-win" Republican has prom
lised Addicks the five representatives
from Wilmington, basing his claim on
the hope that the "want-to-win candl-
dates in these districts will be elected.
II is safe to say that not more tnan
one OF the city districts Will elect
"want-to-win" candidates. TWO rural
New Castle county districts may elect
men of THAT stripe, but no more-re-
member this-making three representa-
ltives in the whole county. AT the
most he can get but three of the seven
senators of the county, counting
lGroves, the hold-over. This toots up
six votes from New Castle county, two
less uaan he had two years ago
Giving the Union all the doubtful
districts, there can be elected Dul
eieht representatives and senators IL
Kent county, and seven in sussex
This number. with Brasure, the mold
over senator of Sussex countys Fourtl
district would give Addicks sixteen
votes in the two lower counties.
Eight votes from Sussex eight IRON
= Kent. and six from New Castle. totah
. twenty-five, or five short OF the much
desired number. In this twenty-five Il
counted every doubtful district OF th'
State, so it appears that j. Edward
will spend two more years away lron
Washington.
