MAKES
ABSURD CLAIMS
Figures He Gives to Get Fed
eral Patronage Are Alb
solutely False
ANOTHER ONE OF HIS BLUFFS


In Representative Districts Where
There Were Few Union Votes He
Does No, Give the Regular Republic
cans Vote
Characteristic Of his usual blum and
absurd claims ever since he has been
in Dalaware is the list OF figures pur-
: porting to be an analysis Of the Re-
publican vote OF the State which J.
Edward Addicks has presented TO Pres
ident Roosevelt as an argument why
the chief magistrate should recognize
the Addicks faction in making appoint
ments In Delaware in the future. The
figures have been printed ia the Sun,
Addicks personal organ for several
days and are so absurd that no one
paid the least attention 10 them until
O. the story came IRON washington that
a Addicls with his colossal nerve had
. submitted them for the consideration
h ,of the President. BY them he attempts
f to prove that the Union Republican
d vote for the legislative ticket in the
State wOs 1888, and the total Union
Republican legislative vote in New Cas-
tie. county 904S. This is q lie as every
l. one who has consulted the figures OF
il the Republican primary election Of the
r. Irecomt State election weli know.
i- Addicks attempts in several OF the
r representative districts to- divide the
e Regular and Addiclzs vote when there
was but one candidate In the field. How
he or anyone else can determine how
many Regulars or how many Unions
voted for q Republican candidate at
the election when theirs was no contest
at the primaries is hard to determine
!. Seriously, and with unheard Of as
surance the Gasman does this. How
4 he expected the President, OF any other
- same man TO accept these figures is be-
lyond the comprehension of any man
who has ordinary common sense.
eyrne's Vote the Test
It is admitted by Union Republicans
themselves that the real test Of the
Union and Regular strength in the
State was the vote on Congressman.
'h Byrne was tho Addicks candidata and
he Dr. Ball the Regular Republican candi-
" date For each Of the other State Of-
IN ficers there was but one candidate
n Addicks nowhere in his table OF fig
az ures attempts to compare the vote OF
nd these two men. He divides and sub
re divides the vote of legislative candi-
er dates where there is no way Of getting
he at the vote cast by the rival Republi-
ed can factions. It would not have beer
d. surprising n Addicks in his paper
W had claimed that the entire He-
eu publican vote represented the Unicr
Republican, ballots cast and that there
ware no Regular Republicans. It hal
already been shown above why Ad
IN dicks is wrong, but several other in
nh stances will be quoted.
u us Vote by Districts
MS In the First Representative distric
Addicks claims the entire 1919 vote
cast as being Union Republican votes
He was voted for by both the Regulai
. Iand Union men. The vote fCr Byrn
"a in this district was $50. which repre-
Vi sents the total Union strgingth. Thi
bo shows that Addicks' estimate Is jus
.,e Ga6 of in this district alone. In a.
but the Second, the Third, the Sevent
and the Tenth the Republican vote 4
claimed to be a Union Republican vct
q, despite the fact that Republicans O
-. both factions voted for the men.
~ la the Fourth Representative dis
y, s trict, the total Republican vote wa
$50. while the vote fer Byrne, Unio'
Republican for Congress. was only 37s
4S3 less than Addicks claims.
In the Fifth district the total Repub
lm llican vote was / ,251 while this vote fo
ng Byr'ue was only 543. 70S less than IN
'us Gasman claims.
Dr. In the Sixth Representative district
the total Republican vote was S5S: IN
vote for Byrne was 161. Here Addick
claims 1877 too much.

the vote for Byrne, 70. being 400 les
than the analysis.

vote for Byrne 76: PSI less than tn
Ia Addicks estimate.
nd In the Tenth Representative distriC

OF dicks figures are wrong again by IL
b., votes.
