PAYNE TELLS why THE
PRESIDENT NAMED BYRNE
Two Senators From Delaware Re-
gardless of Their Personality

gardless OF Their Personality
Washington, Nov. 1S.-"The Presi-
dent and his Administration are talk
ing no part on one side or the other in
the Delaware senatorial question" said
Postmaster-General Payne yesterday.
"The appointment of Mr.. Byrne was
simply an act of justice. AS the Union
Republican candidate for Congress he
received 1898 votes, and Ball, the
present congressman, the Regular Re
publican, got S,O2S votes. In that con-
test, when each side had to stand up
and be counted, Byrne received about
five thousand votes more than his op-
pOnent, and that, too, with Ball having
all the advantage of Federal patron
age. The appointment of Byrne simply
recognizes those who have the greatest
number of votes. That the candidate
for State Treasurer received a major
ity of 4,063 shows what can be done
when the two factions are united"
While Mr.. Payne says the Adminis-
tration is not taking part on one side
or the other in the senatorial fight, the
appointment of Byrne seems to show
that it sympathizes with the majority
faction; that it wants harmony in
Delaware, in order that two senators
may be elected, and regards the ques.
tiOn of their personality as being un.
important It is thought here thai
Byrne's appointment will aid Addicks
