.ADDICKS' WITHDRAWAL
PUZZLES DEMOCRATS
Call 1t Bluff or Move to
Land Appointment.

WILMINGTON, Del. Feb "a caucus
Of both the Union and Regular Bepub-
IIcans was called today at Dover. for
the selection Of two candidates for
United States Senator. The call for the
caucus was sent out last night by the
Union Republicans, OF Addicks men. in
mediately following the sensational an
uounCement from Add1cks himself that
he would withdraw as candidate
Every Regular. or anti-Addicks Repub-
Hean. received a copy of this call.

Gus. participated in by ali Of the Re
publican members of the General As
sembIy. shall select two candidates for
the Senate by a majority vote. Whether
this can be done remains to be seen.
Until Addfcks' withdrawal there were
three possible combinations by which
it was figured out that the deadlock
could be broken The Unions and Regu-
lars might unite and elect two Repub-
Iicans. Addicks and a Regular. the
Democrats and the anti-Addicks men
might agree on one Democrat and one
Republican or the Democrats and the
whole body Of Republicans might agree
to give the Republicans both Senator'S
This third proposition is really what
the string to Addicks' withdrawal neces-
states. Addicks' withdrawal necessarily
puts the Democrats in an embarrassing
position. Many Of them affect TO be
lieve that the withdrawal IS bluff. and
that even should the Regulars accept it.
one of the two Union men would resign
and leave the way open for Governor
Hum 10 appoint Addicks TO the vacancy.
The happy medium of selecting one
Union Republican and one Regular Re
publican is what many hope for, but
see little prospect OF accomplishing

THE REAL CRANK
is Plainly Marked.

A crank is one who stays in beaten
paths when common sense tells him
to leave.
The real crank is one who persists
in using coffee because accustomed to
and yet knows it hurts him. 1t is this
one who always pays the penalty,
up coffee and takes on Postum Food
Coffee in its place enjoys all the bene-
fits Of returning health.
A well-knOwn manufacturers agent
Of New York City visited the grocery
department of one of the big New
York stores not long ago and there he
tasted a sample cup of Postum made
the right way. He said afterwards:
Just through the energy of that young
woman who was serving Postum there
/ became a convert to the food drink
and gave up the drug drink coffee and
got well
''I had used coffee to excess and was
gradually becoming a complete wreck,
getting weaker and more nervous
every day. I paid the penalty for US
ing coffee and when l tasted the deli
cious Postum / was glad indeed to
make. the change.
$50 1 gave up the coffee altogether
and have used Postum instead ever
since Ny family at first called me a
crank, but seeing how Postum bene-
flied me the first month they all got
in line and as result of Postum's re-
markable benefits to me we all drink
it now entirely in place of coffee and
we are well" Name given by Posi- an
