MAKES
MORE BOASTS
Says He Will Replace Byrne
If He Withdraws From
Ticket
DIDN'T USE ANY MONEY He SAYS

Only Taking a Passing Interest in the
Campaign But Makes Prediction for
Future Success Of the Union Re-
publicans
j. Edward Addicks permitted him
self to be interviewed yesterday. and
made some remarkable statements. las
is usual whenever he talks. he made
it appear as if he was the whole Union
Republican party, and that his woro
was law. He reiterated the statement
he has previously made, that should
William M. Byrne for any reason be
withdrawn from the ticket that he (Ad-
dicks) would take his place.
When asked regarding the trouble
over the nomination of Mr. Robertson
and Mr.. Phillips, he said: "Bo'h Rob
ertson and Phillips win be on the ticket.
They were nominated fairly.
l am satisfied of that We went into
common primaries, and it is amazing
used throughout the county, these holy
and pure people, while we didn't use
any money, and the people
defeated them" This does not agree
with stories Union men are telling
1T was not the victory of faction,
continued the Gasman, ''but the victory
of the Republican people. This cry Of
fraud is but the wall Of a handful Oh
boltsrs, who will be wiped out of ex-
istence by the people at the election
The boilers were defeated at the pri.
maries, and we opened the ballOt-bo2
and counted the ballots, but they are
not satisfied Mr. Robertson and Mr.
Phillips will be on the ticket, and they
will be elected, too. Why, we will con
troll the next Legislature"
Il suppose you have heard tina
there is a possibility Of the Democrat
supporting Mr.. Sparks and Mr.. Ru
ldolph in the upper districts of vii
mington ?" the reporter suggested.
Let them go ahead, replied Mr.. Ad
dicks. I'VE can defeat the bolters an;
the Democrats together, and elect Rob
lertson and Phillips. Down in Sussex
I see the Democrats are endorsing thl
Regular candidates. We have won owe
! the bolters and Democrats in Sussex be
fore, and can do so again. The bolter
say they will poll more than 1000 votes
but they will not get more than. 200
In Kent county we don't care whethe
they pjut a ticket in the field or not
No one else remembers when thi
was done.
I'm only taking passing interest
! the campaign" explained Mr.. Addicki
but l would not be surprised If we ma
. a two-thirds vote in the next Legisla
ture"
This statement set people to wal
dering if this is the interest taken b
a man who sees his chances for Unite
States senator slipping away from hin
Continuing, he said: THE only wa
DIR. Ball can be endorsed as a candidai
on a Joint Republican ticket, is, as
have said before. that he iniiuen'
