PENINSULA PRESS
Take Him Off


From the. Milford News and Advertiser.
Up to the present time there seenls
no prospect of the Republicans of the
State of Delaware getting together this
year. There seems to be no disposition
on the part of either faction to make
oyerture5. and what We can look for
under The circumstances is The defeat
of the party this year. There Is but
one way out of the difficulty. and that
would mean the withdrawal by the Ad-
dicks forces of William Michael Byrne
and the substitution ON the Union Re-
publican ticket of the name of l.. Heis-
Ter Ball for Congress. While this would
be a most Objectionable solution from
the view point Of William Michael, il is
safe to say he would be the only one
really disappointed. There can be no
denying the fact that Dr. Ball is the
legitimate candidate of the Republican
party. He would be not Gully accept
able at homc:' but the Congressional
Committee and the Republicans Of the
entire county are expecting his return
to Congress. Should the leaders of the
opposing forces persist IN Haunting
their makeshift in the faces Of the
Republicans Of the State, then on these
few msn alone will rest the RESPONSE
bility OF the defeat of the ticket at the
coming election.

THE HEPRIMARIEs

The result Of the primaries on satuf-
day was about as anticipated Among
the candidates selected are sterling
Regular Republicans. others who are
frankly for Addicks, and certain un-
known quantities in the shape OF per-
sons of the want-to-win stripe.
Loolang at the candidates and con-
sidering them as men, aside from their
parity or factional inclinations, one
must conclude that Il is an average
ticket, which, being interpreted, means
THAT there are among the candidates
some very good men. who. II they live
-'pp Io-their past records, viii prove ef-
ficient public servants should they be
elected Others who in private life and
character are unobjectionable, yet have
formed alliances which viii probably
hamper their freedom OF conduct; and
small minority are regarded as ado
fsing little strength to the ticket.
IL is a ticket which. on the whole, we
can commend, but there are several
candidates whose support must depend
upon the Judgment of their friends and
nelghbors There were numerous sur
prdses, as is usual The defeat of Sparks
by Robertson by a comparatively small
majority shows what certain sort OF
campaigning persistently pursued will
do. Then, too. there was some surprise
at the turning down Of the senatorial
candidate named by Addichs in his OWL
district It was a warm contest, and
In certain districts there were methods
employed which are not a credit to the
candidates or to the party which they
represented.
Evening journal., 1902-10-06
THE LEGISLATIVE TICK EFT

The contest between the factions over
the nominations for the Legislature is
about a stand-off. The Addicks people
nominated the most men, but many OF
them are in districts where the Demo-
Gratis are practically certain OF victory.
It isn't pleasant to the Regular Repub-
licans to have an Addicks man repre-
sent Senator Knox's old district, but
neither is It pleasant to Addicls to
have his home district represented by a
sound Regular Republican, and who
will reverse the record Of his predeces-
sor. Both OF these men will be elected.
OF the other two candidates named
for cenator McFarlin will have hard
battle to win and Lockerman is not
likely to be successful
OF the fifteen candidates named ON
the representative ticket, six at least
are Regular Republicans, and eight Ad-
dicks mem with one doubtful, but as
several OF the Addicks candidates are
in the doubtful districts, CIR in those
that are certainly Democratic, their
strength does mot show an increase.
The representative ticket as a whole Is
entitled to the support of Republicans.

JoHN =. NIELDs

The ad interim appointment or John
p. Nields as United States District At
torney for Delaware. by Judge Brad
ford. must be commended by all per-
sons who wish TO see the Office con-
Quoted i'm a clean. able and dignifled
manner. Mr.. Nields is a student, and
has given to his mistress, the law, the
devotion of his young manhood. No
man at our bar rs cleaner, both in his
life and in the practice of his profess
sion.
The office comes to him umsought;
therefore he can discharge his duties
unhampered and without obligations TO
anyone. We are assured that the work
of the office will be conducted in a
businesslike way and handled with dis
patch. and that the Government will
not receive mere oratofy instead OF
legal knowledge, in return for the hon
ors and emoluments Of the office II
is unnecessary to state that Mr.. Nields
is a sterling Regular Republican.

TIE COUNTY rICKEr

The county ticket nominated at the
primaries on Saturday contains some
excellent names. and is composed
largely OF Regular Republicans. Mr..
Moore. whose plurality was the largest
Of any Of the candidates, is widely
known and deservedly popular. Nobody
doubts that If elected. which is pract-
cally certain. he will administer the
Office with faithfulness and perfect in
tegrity.

is possible to poll great vote with

Is a sober. and industrious man, and

Mr.. Bach. who was nominated as
Register Of Wills. has the intelligence
and ability to fill the office aeceptably.
He has had a wide experience In public
affairs. and Saturday proved that he is
popular with a large number OF voters
Many were of the opinion that Mr.

In a Ouandarv

From the SuEsex Republican.
The very important question which s
worrying the Addicls crowd at the
present time is whether CIR not Addicks
is going to open up his barrel this cam
paign. There have been rumors
throughout the year that the old man
would not put up" unless he could be
elected and Byrne was nominated to
drive the Regulars to a compromise
that would elect him. But the Regu-
lars do not drive and the disastrous
effect OF putting Byrne on the ticket
NOW stalks him in the face and he
knows that If Byrne stays on the ticket
the Legislature is sure to be Demo-
cratic which ends his senatorial am
bitions forever. In the face Of such a
prospect the Addicks leaders are not
having much success in convincing Ad-
dicks that he stands to win this time.
Not even the assurance that the voters
assistants will be sure TO give enough
votes to win. will convince the old
man. He seems to have gotten his eyes
open to the fact that he is bound to lose
whatever the result may be. Voters
assistants cannot save him. They will
be worth more to the Democrats than
to the Unions. Many a voter who has
been voting a Union ticket will be voted
bv the Democratic voters assistant this
election.
Evening journal., 1902-10-06

The latest ulxase goes forth from
John Edward Addicks is that William
Michael Byrne will stay on tho Union
ticket till the day OF election unless
death should kindly intervene and save
him the trouble and in that awful
event Mr.. Addicls says he will step in
and take the place Of the "Jers5yman. -
This latter plan will be consistent in
the Gasman. Last Legislature he
wanted both senatorships and he doubt
less would have to have the congress-
manship thrown I'M so that" would be
lit" in the next Congress. Sussex

A srAND-oFF

In the contest ON Saturday the rela-
tive strength Of the factions seems to
have been maintained. Unions went to
defeat. and Regulars did likewise Ad-
dicks lost his own senatorial district,
and Robertson triumphed over Sparks,
although there is likely to be a contest
over the matter. The Levy Court COM
missioner appointed by Governor HUM
was defeated by a Regular and in the
various county offices Addicls did not
land man. unless. indeed, Bach may
be so classed. The Regular Republi-
cans are practically certain OF six mem
bers Of the Legislature, and may still
have the immortal seven. The Unions
nominated their men in several districts
practically without opposition, as they
stand little chance of election.
With all the tickets in the field there
seems TO be an even chance for Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, the latter acting
together. Looking over the field we
should say that on joint ballot the
Regulars VIII have z. the Unions
20. and the Democrats &c. This is sup
posing that the Democrats register ali
their men. which seems assured. and
that the Republicans act together Il
is not a question of electing Addicks
since that is eliminated; it is a question
of control of the Legislature.

The North American calls attention
to the fact that there is a remedy
against the coal-carrying roads which
find themselves unable to make any
concession towards ending the strike.
Article seventeen Of the State Consti-
tuition reads: mo incorporated COM
pany doing the business Of a common
carrier SHALL directly or indirectly
prosecute or engage in mining OF
manufacturing articles for transporta-
ton over itsworl1s; nor shall such com
pany directly or indirectly engage in
any other business than that of a com

This John Edward Addicks is a great
man; he is also very astute occasion
ally. He wrote a letter to the Presi-
dent the other day recommending the
appointment OF John p. Nields as United
States district attorney. But some
hours previous to the dispatch of that
letter It appears that Judge Bradford
had received letter from Attorney
General Knox asking that he make the
appointment, and Judge Bradford had
notified Mr.. Nields Of his selection. SO
Mr.. Addicks wanted to get credit for
an appointment which he knew to be
inevitable, but, sad to say, it had al
