THE WHIRL
OF POLITICS
Bits Of Political Gossip Picked Up by
"East Side."

William Lawton has as much right
to endeavor to adjust the differences
in the Republican party as any other
man, and he no doubt saw in the meet
ing of Dr. Ball and Addicks a way to
settle it.
AS might have been expected, Ad-
dicks was not after harmony, but to
elect himself United States senator. Mr..
Lawton says he named himself first as
one OF the senators, and anybody could
have the other one. He did not even
care how he secured the election. as
he could get two members
votes from some other source than Re-
publicans."
lAddicks must have been afraid to
trust himself alone in the presence of
DR.. Ball. as he had Alice and Layton
there, triple-teamed the Congressman.
as it were. Addicks also broke faith
with Mr.. Lawton in having them there,
as it was understood that DR.. Ball and
Addicks should be alone and talk over
at leisure the differences in the party.
and endeavOr to agree on a plan of
compromise IL was hard for DR.. Ball
to get a word in edgeways against Al
lee. Layton and Addicks, whose tongues
hang in the middle and work either way,
and all together. DR.. Ball, of COURSE,
could not betray his trust to the Re-
publican party, and refused to enter
into the Addicks scheme.
East Side" will wager that DR.. Ball
was not allowed to say six consecutive
words without being interrupted by
one of the three. The Doctor could
were he so inclined, have given to the
public the whole Addicks proposition
but he chose to say nothing. and had
it not been for Layton, who purposely
attempted to spread all over the State
the impression that Congressman Ball
sought the interview, the story prob
ably would not have been published.
This is another case of Layton's get
ting Addicks in trouble
If the true story were published con-
cerning the appointment of marshal
and the postmaster of Smyrna, the
headlines would read like this
"Oners to Desert Addicks if Appoint
ed Marshal" "- will work for
Ball if made postmaster of Smyrna "
"--- and -- visit -- and Of
fer anything if is made mar
shall"
Some Of the Regulars could say
things and Show things. were they so
inclined. that would make interesting
reading from a political standpoint,
and it is safe to say that the Addicks
aggregation is not keeping the Sun in
formed. or it would not have made the
bad breaks it did a few issues ago. The
proposing came from the Addicks
crowd. and the meat Of the situation is
THAT the Regulars have the necessary
data to prove it.
There appears to be more trouble in
store fer New Castle hundred Demo
Gratis. II reports are true that David
Heyd. of State Road, will be a candi-
date for representative.
It was supposed to be "all fixed" be-
tween some OF the leaders when they
pulled off" James McCallister for rep
resentative in the interest of Captain
Holcomb. who, it was supposed. would
be the only candidate Artemas Smith
the opposition candidate for State SEN
atOr to McCallister, does not like the
arranged plan between Holcomb and
McCallister, and is prepared to put NJ
stiff fight for nomination. Smith has
lots of supporters among the Old-time
leaders of New Castle hundred Democ-
racy. The two candidates for senator
and the two for representative are
well-known Democrats. of whom moth
ing but good can be spoken.
Was DR.. Farlow at the Addicks Re-
hoboth meeting last Sunday? This is &
question which, if answered truthful
", would throw some light on the Ad
dicks modus operandi From whai
can be learned. Farlow was on hand
but Addicks failed to keep his engage
ment.
One of the "Kurnels" on GOverno
Hunns staff has new one to offer al
to how the Republican party can ge
rid OF Addicks. IL to elect him sen
ator for the short term, and then no
re-elect him two years hence. The trul
blue Republicans can offer a bette
method than that, which is TO cast hin
to the four winds OF heaven, that Their
