Wnat AddIoks Has pone.

At the session OF the Legislature IN
1926, Mr.. Addicks, with only four of
the IS Republican members to support
him deliberately maintained the dead
look over the election of United States
Senator until the end of the session,
thus creating vacancy. This vacancy
should have been avoided at that ses-
sion by the election of Republican,
and it would have been had it not
been for thu political treachery of
Addicks.
At the election of 1896 Addicks and
hia cohorts arrayed themselves in op-
position TO the Republican party. The
result was the election Of Democratic
governor, Democratic Congressman
ahd Democratic Legislature. That
Democratic Legislature gave to a
Democrat the seat in the Senate that
the previous Legislature should have
given to Republican, and would have
given bad it not been for tie treaohery
Of Addicks.
At the Legislative sessions of 1893
and 1901, Addioks was persistent
candidate for the Senate, and because
he could not be elected himself, he
refused to permit any Republican TO
be elected.
At the election of Tuesday last, Ad-
dicks deliberately defeated Congress-
man Ball, Republican, by dividing the
Republican vots and thus opening the
way to the 1elaction OF Mr.. Houston,
the Democratic cshdidate.
Such, in brief, is the political record
Of Addicks in Delaware-a record of
treachery to the Republican party from
first to last.
The next | legislature being Republi-
can on joint ballot, Addiclss will again
be on hand asking to be elected to the
United States Senate. But the indica-
tions are that enough Republicans will
absolutely refuse to vote for him to
make his election again impossible.
The Legislature, however, ought tc
elect two Unitad States Senators,
neither of whom shall be Addicks.
And it can do this if the Democratic
members are patriotic enough to vote
for two good Republicans. This would
not involve voting for Addicks, for he
is not good Republican.
Tho election of two good Republicans
would be good politics and conscienti.
pus performance of duty. 1t would also
defeat Addicks.

ADDlGKS VISITS PRESIDENT.
Wants Gov. Hum Prevented From CaiIin,

Wants Gov. Hum Prevented From Calling
u special Election. ~
Washington, Nov. 1l.--,J. Edward
AddiclEs, leader of Republican. faction
in Delaware, was here yesterday and
had conferences with the President,
Postmaster General Payne and other
officers of the administration.
1t is said the purpose of Mr. Addicks'
visit was to have such influence brought
to bear upon the Republican governor
of Delaware as to prevent him from
calling special elections in those legis-
lative districts where contests will be
brought before the next Legislature.
Mr.. Addioks desires that those con-
tests be determined by the Legislature
after its organization, in which event
he expects, through the seating of his
candidates, to obtain controlling ma
iority and thus insure his election to
the Senate.
In speaking of the Delaware political
situation Mr. Addioks said that had it
not been for factional differences he
would easily have won majority of
the Legislature. As it is, he lacks
seven votes of the requisite number and
hopes to have these. He said he had
no disposition to give up his battle for
seat in the Senate, after fighting for
IA years.

Most Corrupt Election Ever Known.
Mr.. 1. Townsend Of Milford sent
postal card to Every Evening reading
as follows: There was no election in
Kent and Sussex on Tuesday, but
tremendous yendue. y
We do not know Mr.. Townsend, but
we are OF the opinion that he has stated
the situation correctly. There was no
election in Kent or Sussex counties
last Tuesday. There was simply a
tremendous auction OF votes.
From the reports and stories that
can be heard on all sides-and from
such a cumulation of testimony there
must be large amount of truth
Tuesdays election in Delaware was the
most corrupt ever known. From the
two lower counties come reports of
votes being eagerly sought after of
agents Of the Addicks Republican
party offering as high as $50 and $50 for
a single vote. Naturally, this tempta-
tion proved effective, and the Union
Republicans triumphed in each of
these two counties 1t was in Kent and
Sussex that the Democrats were ex-
pected to make their greatest fight,
but the returns show that it was tho
Democrats of New Castle county who
stood true to principle and resolutely
opposed the Addicks Republicans until
tae polls closed. Had it not been for
tho work done by the Democrats of
New Castle county, despite the des-
Terate use of money by the Addicks
Republicans, the next Legislature would
DO an Addicks Republican body.
1t is alleged that at least one hun
dred thousand dollars were expended
in Kent county and like amount in
Sussex county at Tuesdays election.
That money was used in New Castle
county to q great extent is also ap-
parent. Every Evening has been in
formed of many instances where Demo.
cratic voters we're approached by Union
Republican workers and offered money
for their influence aad votes, and who
took the money and then voted and
worked for the Democratic ticket.
That this was disreputable in one sense
will not be denied; but that it was
comincndable in another sense is also =
fact 1t was rotributive justice for
tho corrupters of the ballot, as it cost
them their money without any practi-
cal results.
1t will he we'll if Investigation can
be made CT the corruption at Tues
day election, with tho purpose of the
prosecution of tho guilty parties.
Somebody ought to SO to Jail Cor this
miserable work. Ii it cannot be
STOPPED, the State of Delaware will
, simply be put up at auction ut each
election. And then the State that has
sent Claytons and Bayards and Sauls
burys to tho Senate will be represented
merely by the men who may posses.
the longest purse.

MIR. pobaon Makes Replx.

To reporter of the Philadelphia
Ledger, last evening, Mr.. James Don
son made statement in reply to the
statement Of j. Edward Addioks in
yesterdays Ledger that John and
james Dobson had contributed money
to the Democratic campaign fund in
Delaware this year: Mr.. Dobson said
do not understand why Mr.. Ad-
dlcEsspicked us out for attack, unless
it was because last December we pur-
chased the Wilmington gas works,
which he had been trying to ge: for 10
years. We have had no political In
terests in Delaware at any time. Our
interests there are entirely business
We hare never taken any interest in
Mr.. Addicks or his fight, and have
never contributed one cent toward his
defeat nor have we helped his op
ponents. The election of MIR. Addicks
TO tho United States Senate could in
no possible way affect our business in
terests in Wilmington.
The gas company which we bought
out | believe had been antagonistic
to Mr.. Addicks. but we reorganized
the company and procured new
charter. He may have supposed that
we we're an.agonistie to him. His state
Inent is without any basis of fact, and
l can account for it in no other way.
Mr.. Dobson need not have troubled
himself to make reply 80 anything
contained in Addicks' statement in tho
Ledger The people who read it esti. :.
mated it at its real value and simply
laughed at il. 1t was somewhat in
teresting, but contained nothing con

BLAZE ON BIG BRIDGE.
Flames Cover Tower and Frarneworl
Over East River.

Flames Cover Tower and Framework
Over East River.
New York, Nov 1.-THE new East
River bridge, in process OF construction
between New York and Brooklyn, was
damaged to the amount of at least
$500, 600 last night by fire that for
four hours ragged, 355 feet in the air.
on the summit of the great steel tower
on the New York side. Three mon
who were at worg on the top OF the
tower when the fire broke out are re-
ported to have fallen into the river.
Owing to the enormous height of the
tower it was impossible to reach tho
fire with any apparatus in the fire de-
parTment, and the flames, after devour-
ing all tho woodwork on the top of the
tower, seized on the timber falsework
OF the two footbridges suspended from
the main cables, burning away the sup
ports until nearly million feet OF
blazing lumber fell with mighty
splash and hiss into the stream.
The fall of the footbridge carried
away scores of the lighter cables and
guys, which trailed in the water, rem
dering it necessary for the police to
stop all traffic up and down the river,
The Fall River steamer Puritan and
several other craft had narrow escapes
while running the gauntlet of fiery
brands that fell in showers from the
burning bridge. The fire, many say,
was the most spectacular confagration
ever seen in New York.
The blaze started in toolshed, and
from this spread to tho timber France
work. Within five minutes after the
first discovery of the>fire the whole top
of the tower was in blaze. Then ths
foot bridges foil, carrying with them
many tons OF bolts, riveis, nuts and
tools. At that moment the Brooklyn
tireboat was just below the bridge and
a heavy steel beam fell on her, breaking
her rudder and sending her drifting
helpless down the stream. Sound
steamers and all other river navigation
were stopped.
