Union lRepublicans confidently ex-
'pect to elect John Edward Addicks
10 the United States Senate on the
first ballot to be taken by the ihcom-
ing General Assembly in joint ses.
SION "saysa Dover correspondent -
Especially are they confident OF this
since the New Castle recount gives
the Republicans one more member oil
the General Assembly, making thirty
Republicans in all.
"They declare that before their
organization buclled down to hard
work In the New Castle County fight,
they had assurances OF enough sup
port from the want-to-win-any how
element of the Regulars to accom-.
pish Mr.. Addcks's election II they
themselves succeeded in swinging
Kent and Sussex around for Mr.. Ad-.
dicks.
1.-THE Union Republicans have
captured about everything in sight
except in the neighborhood Of Dover
Senator Kenny's home. They get
all three Senators in Kent and allow
,--tha Democrats only four Represen-
tatlVee. They get two Of the thre
Senators in Sussex. With 9 Repu.
lar Republican running against
them in Sussex they elected a county
tlcket, one candidate having 93l
majority.
'Representative-elect Price of
Delaware City called upon the Gov.
ernor on Saturday. He announced
While in town that he was a eau.
Gus" Republican, or that he stood
for one Senator from each faction
Thus the Union Republicans on the
night of Decent ber 81 will have at
least twenty-five of the thirty Re-
publican members willing to enter
a caucus and cOnf1dentially expect
to get the other four necessary to
make the majority number Of
twenty-six. Because of the Har-
rlngton vacancy twenty-ssven AS
SEM mblymen are not required'to at
tain majority.
"0t the thirteen Republican mem.
bers from New Castle county the
only members upon whom the Union
republicans are not depending to
help them elect two Senators are
Sen ators Sparks, Ellison and Stir.

and Flynn.
