WILL KENNEY
I MAKE A DEAL
evival Of the Story That Ad-
dicks Will Seek Demo
cratic Aid
Is GETTING DESPERATE

. ClaH from Kent County Oaid
Violence Would Be Done If Demo-
Gratis voied for the Gasman--Could
Goods Be Delivered
During the past two days there has
sen a revival of the rumors that ].
dward Addicks was trying to make
deal with former United States Sen
or Kenney for the election of Addicks
I'D Kenney to the United States Sen
e by the Unicn Republicans and GER
lin Democrats. This morning a
comment Democrat and former
late senator vouched for the story
e would not allow his home to be
5ed at present, but said he knew that
forts were being made to bring about
lch combination.
Addicks Desperate
Addicks, it is said, has given up all
Wpes of being elected to the Senate
ly Republican votes, and is using every
leans in his power to make his cleo
ion sure by combining with the
democrats. OYertures have been made
ID certain Democratic leaders, but it
) not known whether the plan has
ct been laid before Mr.. Kenney. The
y ersistent manner in which these
tories of an Addicks-Kenney deal are
eing circulated have greatly agitated
Z number Of the Democrats who are op-
osed to making any deal whatever
nth Addicks.
a Must Not Aid Addicks
\ One man in speaking Of the matter,
T, aid:
should the Democrats enter into
Z uch a deal they would be as bad as
iAddicks. II he gets to the United
lstates Senate by the votes Of any
Democratic members of the Legislature
he Democrats would be censured just
lis much as ii they had voted for the
! lAddicks candidates for the General AS
embly. The result would be the same
nd the people Of the State would hold
Z hem responsible.
True il is that the Democrats w Ould
;ain a senator, but the question is
would the end justify the means?
iay no. and ! believe the mass of the
Democratic party is with me in say
ng that it does not. No argument can
De raised that would justify a Demo
art in voting for Addicks under any
circumstances. Has he not done all il
I lis power to corrupt the young voter
lf that party? He would do it again
he would not instruct his henchmer
10 vote Tor a Democrat on account o.
any love he bears that party, but sim
ply use the assemblymen to help hin
into a seat in the Senate. to which th'
sell-respecting people of Delaware fee
he is not deserving.
1 do not believe that Addicks cal
bring it about, although | know he i
attempting to make the deal now"
Could Goods Be Delivered
Even II Kenney were willing to ac
cept a seat in the Senate at the hand
OF Kenney the question being raised is
could the goods be delivered?
1t is said that the New Castle count.
delegation is solid for Willard Sauls
bury. That he has considerable
strength in the lower counties is ais
well-known. While most of ther
would in all probability agree to vot
for two Democrats, Salisbury an
Kenney, the grave question is, woul
they take the chance of being foHeve
barred from the councils of the part
by voting for Addicks.
Violence Gould Be Done
A well-known politician from ker
county was seen at the p. B. & "
5 rairload station this morning, and ash
! ed about the feeling in the lower pal
of the State on this subject
"Rumors of an Addicks-Kenney de;
are floating abOutDover," he said, ian
our people are deeply agitated ov'
them. From the way people are tall
ing now it would be a dangerous ma
ter for a Democrat to vote for AZ
dicks under any consideration.
IN "Our people are desperate, and opel
" threten that amy Democrat WI
votes for Addicks will meet wit
bodily harm. There is no telling whi
the consequences would be. l do n'
want to see It. There might be wol
for the coroner"
