Tho Delawaresn advises the Demo-
cratic members of the next Legislature
to stand together for the defeat of
Addicks. BY all means, for his defeat,
not merely for the creation of sena-
torial vacancies that will keep him
striving after them. Had Addicks Eeen
defeated at the last session, the result
Of the recent election in this State
would have been different. TIE way to
defeat Addicks is to elect two Senators,
even two Republican Senators, as the
Democrats of themselves cannot elect
either of them. But the continuance
OF the senatorial vacancies will not be
defeat of Addicks.

There's story of farmer and his
son driving load to market. OF the
team they were driving one was a
steady, reliable old gray mare, the other
a fractions, halky black horse. On the
way the wagon was stalled and the
black horse suiked and refused to pull.
What'll We do, father?" said the
younger man. WELL" said the father,
:, guess we'll have to lay the gad on
the old gray" That homely COM
pliment to women: 1.-THE gray mare 8
the better horse, suggests how often
when there's an extra strain to be
borne it is laid on the woman's back.
How often she breaks down at last
under the added weight of some "Iast
straw" " Women VINO are dragging along
wearily through life can gain real

Naturally, there is much talk about
the senatorial situation, and will be
until it is settled. But upon the mem
bers of the next Legislature that set
tleinent will depend, and the best way
to settle it will be to elect two United
States Senators, one of whom shall not
be Addicks In no surer way can Ad-
dicks be beaten, and the defeat of
Addicks is the sincere wish of every

Defeat OF Representative wright.


In all the history of politics in this
State there does NOT appear to be
more conspicuous instance Of the mean
and disreputable than the defeat OF Rep
resentative Andrew J. Wright, Demo
crat, in the Fifteenth, or Blackbird
hundred, district.
1t will be recalled that when Mr.
Wright was candidate two years ago,
he was accused of having Addicks
leanings. But he disprovod this charge
by his record in the Legislature. He
voted against Addicks upon every
ballot, and his showing on other votes
was excellent. In fact he made a
record for bimself that fairly entitled
hin, to denomination.
At the Democratic primaries this
, year, Mr.. Wright was renominated by
the fair and honest votes of the Demo-
Gratis Of his district. He was, therefore,
entitled to tho vote of every registered
Democrat in the Fifteenth district.
And had he received these votes, he
would have been elected. But whilo
Mr.. Houston, the Democratic nominee
for Congress, has a plurality of 112 in
this district, Mr.. Wright was beaten
by the Republican nominee for Repre-
sentative by a plurality of votes.
We understand that the opposition to
Mr. Wright was purely personal, and
not creditable in any way. Had the
complexion of the Legislature depended
upon his election, probably those Demo.
Gratis who defeated him would have fell
very badly. As it is they should be
thoroughly ashamed Of themselves, fol
they have been guilty of an act of base
treachery to the Democratic party.
We also understand that Representa-.
tive Wright was aware on the morning
of election tnat he vas encounterinf
this personal opposition, and that b,
was apprcached by Republican worker.
with the proposition that they woulc
help him out il he would consent tc
trade Democratic votes against Mr..
Latta, the Democratic nominee for State
Senator in the Seyonth district. But
Mr.. Wright refused to even consider
these overtures, insisting that SO far al
be was concerned every Democratic bal
lot should be straight. This attitude
on his part makes his record all tht
more commendah,e, and should add te
the public condemnation of the traitor
GUS Democrats who defeated him.
