Mr.. Addicks spent Thanksgiving
Day with his family at his country
residence at Claymont, seven miles
below Chester. His guest was his
closest personal and political friend,
j. Frank Alice, President of the
Delaware Senate Together the
master of the Union wing of the
Republican party in Delaware and
Mr. Alice walked along the country
pike and out to big farm owned
by Mr. Addicks two miles south of
Claymont. Mr. Addcks was in ex-
cellent humor with himself and
with the world, and readily talked
over the situation with a North
American representative who walk
ed out on the pike to meet him.
WILL NOT CRITICIsE PRESIDENT
81 want it understood that l lave
nothing to say in the way Of criti.
ciSm OF the Presidents latest utter
ance about the situation In this
State" were Mr.. Addicks' first
words.
"But ycur position is somewhat
extraordinary" "wassug ggestcl .'You
are in the position Of having assert.
ed that Mr. Roosevell's appointment
of William NJ. Byrnc to the pest of
United States District Attorney for
Delaware was in direct recognition
of the claim OF your wing of the
party 10 the Federal patronage. Now
comes the President and cl'egori-
caly denies that you or your friends
had any weight in the matter.
Il cant help that. I know, and
my friends know, what took place
when l was in Washington, anl we
are satisfied. The President can
not be criticised by any Republican.
His statement mltss stand unques-
toned. We accept it. The Incl
dent IS closed, So far as l and my
friends are concerned
Would you object 10 telling
whether you think the Union Re.
publican party OF Delawa will be
recognized by the Admps,ralion?'
mot at all The Union party
has already beeu recognized. 1t
was recognized in the last national
Convention. BY the by, | want
you to understand that there is |
but one regular Republican, party
IN the State, and that is the Union
party. The other fellows are bol.
ters. We are tie regulars, and we

lis it true, as has been reported
in some quarters, that the Union
Republicans contemplate fusion
deal with the Democrats for the
purpose of returning r. II, Kcnucy
or some other Democrat and your.
self to the Senate?"
1T is not true. There is no
thought of making any concessions
to the Democrats. There is a clear
majority Of thirty Republicans on
joint ballot, and the Union pa rty
commands large majority of the
Republican votes. There will be an
election this time, and | will be one
OF the Senators chosen, and another
Republican, of one or the other
wings, will he chosen with me-
There will be no deal The man
selected to serve with me will be
chosen by the whole party and he
will not be a fusion compromise
between the two wings of the Re-
publican party. At the same time
| don't mind saying that he will
be one of tho boIters. Just
this: There will not be
another deadlock. We have the ?
votes this time.
Then you are the perpetual

"What of that charge that YOU 81

"That is too ridiculous for any at. a

Mr.. Addicks frequently referred 10 Il
Ir. Alice for substantIaton Of his

Ir. Alice was particularly emphatic e;
J insisting that there would not be CT
