LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE
hddIcks Loslnp Hold

TO the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: The bombastic effusion of the
Union Republican State Committee in
tended as a reply to the proDositino Of
the Regular State Committee, and the
proposition made by the seven Repub-
lican members Of the Legislature, has
not infused the members of the Union
Republican party as it was intended to
do, but has. on the other hand. caused
a feeling to come to the surface that
was dormant in the last campaign. 1t
seems from what one hears that Ad-
dicks and his co-dictatOrs are losing
their hold upon the ranks.
There are many causes for this,
chief of which is the fact that Demo-
cratic success at the next election
would mean not only the defeat of Ad-
dicks and his senatorial aspirations,
but greater still, a defeat for all Re-
Oublicans in tho State for possibly a
generation to come. Therefore it
seems that in the ranks of the Union
Republicans there is an awakening. A
/ feeling of resentment at the selfish
ness Of Addicks and his henchmen.
They also are getting very tired of so
much talk about majority rule as a
party attribute When there was but
one Republican party in the State, Ad-
dicks did not regard majority rule,
but held four men from a majority of
fifteen and prevented the election of a
United States senator in 1895.
All who are familiar with Delaware
politics. know that the votes counted
by the Union Republicans to make a
greater number than that of the Regl-
lar organization, does not represent
that many true Republican voters who
90 20 the primaries and to the polls
on election day as do the voters Of the
Regular Republican organization but
aside from this. the people of the
Union Republican party know there
are two distinct Republican parties in
the state neither of which can alone
win a victory over the Democratic
lparty, and the feeling is becoming ap-
parent among the Union Republicans
who want Republican supremacy in
Delaware. whether Addicks gets what
he wants or not. that there should and
must be a getting together on some
firm and honest basis that would com.
, mand the respect and the votes of al
Republicans, leaving the matter OF

growing sentiment among the Unior
/ Republicans of Sussex. A member oi
that party told the writer that "th,
foolishness of Addicks and his paiC
leaders would not bind the voters t

a separate ticket in Sussex as was
done two years ago. The people, h'

THE soUTH AND ROOSEVELT

The cordial reception Of the Presi-

Carolina is what might have
been anticipated. but it is none
the less gratifying for that fact. From
the sentiments which have been ex-

high Office which he holds. and great
respect also for Roosevelt the man.

OF admiration for the gallant young
colonel His military career was brief,
but It was Of sufficient duration to
show that there was the making of
great soldier in Colonel Roosevelt.
Then. too, since his assumption of
his present great Office he has demon
strated his courage and breadth in
dealing with the South For years af-
ter the Civil War her people were poor,
disheartened and at times sullen. and
their point Of view. a perfectly nat
ural one, was not always understood
by those in power. In certain dis
tricts the only relation between the
people and the national Government
was through a more or less disrepu-
table class that apparently existed for
the purpose Of sending delegates 10
national conventions and holding the
local Federal Offices Roosevelt has
seen this condition, and in a number
Of his appointments he has shown a
purpose OF dealing justly with the
South, even though he had to fill i'm
portant offices by men OF the opposite
political faith. It took courage 10 do
this, and the South admires courage;
she also wishes Justice.
But the most gratifying feature Of
the Presidents reception is the spon-
taneous greeting which has been ac-
corded to Mr.. Roosevelt as the head of
the nation. There is no more question
Of South Carollna's loyalty to the
Union than that OF Massachusetts. The
old struggle over secession and slavery
showed their loyalty 10 their State
now IL is 10 the nation. In the last
forty years we have learned much, and
the South has not been alone in mas
tering her lessons. The Civil War
opened the eyes OF all our people: it i
