GIVES UPSTRUGGLE
Addicks Withdraws as a Candi-
date for Senator.
He Has Been Trying for Seven Years
TO be Elected United States
senator to Represent
State of DeIa-
ware.

Dover, Del, Feb. 6.-The sudden an
nouncement late Thursday after
noon that j. Edward Addicks had
withdrawn from the candidacy
for United States senator which he
has urged so persistently since 1895
created an immense sensation.
The belief is general that the re-
fusal of the United States senate t.
confirm United States District Attor-
ney William VI. Byrne had the effect
of bringing about Mr.. Addicks' with
drawal.
The union republican choice for
senator in place of Addicks will prob
ably be Gov. HUM or Secretary OF
State Lawton. State Senator Alice,
the Addicks leader, has repeatedly
declared that he would not accept
the United States senatorship.
Mr.. Addicks arrived here from WI
mington about o'clock, going direct
to the capitol He was ushered into
the parlor of the state house, where
all of the 81 union republican mem
bers of the legislature were assem-
bled TO meet him, together with Sec
retary of State Layton and Insurance
Commissioner Marshall. The assem-
blymen received Mr.. Addicks with
cheers and he appeared deeply moved
by the heartiness of the greeting.
Mr.. Addicks made a statement to
those present at the caucus, in which
he formally withdrew from the sem
atorial contest. In his statement Ad-
dicks said that his withdrawal is on
condition that the republicans of the
house and senate meet in joint eau
Gus and elect two candidates for
United States senator by majority
rule.
Mr.. Addicks favored a caucus of all
the 81 republicans of the legislature
at which two candidates for United
States senator's will be nominated
without any use of his name.
The caucus requested by the union
republicans did not take place last
night.
To the democratic caucus which
met at the Capitol hotel to talk over
the situation under the new develop
ments, several propositions were sub
mitted to act quickly and defeat the
Addicks move.

MILFORD REPUBLICANS
OPPOSED TO ADDICKS
Send Petition to Regular Re
publican Members of the
General Assembly

Following is a letter sent to the
Regular Republican members of the
Legislature by the leading Republicans
Of the town of Milford:
Milford. Del, January "a, 1908.
To Hon. Messns. Finn, Aspril, Ban
croft. Derrickson, Eastburn, Price,
Tyre. Sparks, Stirling and Ellison,
members of the General Assembly
of Delaware
Gentlemen: 1t may be of interest TO
you to know something of the sent-
ment existing in this part of the State
Milford and Cedar Creek hundreds
relative to the election of United States
Senators. We, in common with all
good citizens. desire the election OF two
senators, and that the honor and well
fare Of the State be saved in the selec-
tions.
To accomplish this desired result a
fusion of some two of the three exist
inlg parties must be made. Neither
the honor nor welfare of the State
could result from the election Of Mr..
Addicks as one of the senators, and
any fusion with the Union Republi-
cans seems to be impossible with him
loft out; so that the only practical fus-
ion seems to be with Democrats.
We consider the proposition made by
them as fair and liberal, and unless you
have a better solution, we think ii
should be accepted. In our opinion
the election of a Republican for long
term and a Democrat for the short
term is infinitely better than vacancies
If the Democratic proposition is not
now open we hope for the States sake
and party's, that you will put forth
such efforts to reopen negotiations as
will result in an honorable solution.
We favor first, the election of two
Republicans.
We favor second the election of one
Republican and one Democrat.
We favor third, nobody rather thar
Addicks.
The sentiments herein expressed arr
general with Republicans in Milford
and Cedar Greek hundreds.
