SENTIMENT FOR 4
THE COALITION
Leading Men in Republican and
Democratic Parties Urge That
Proposal Be Accepted

Should he complain now if Republicans
help send a Democrat to the Senate,
especially il they send an honest and
decent Republican there along with
him, and for the longer term at that?
Since when have such coalitions been
political perfdy?
Coalition Duty.
when the decent and self-respectine
element of a whole State has been
throttled by profigate power, which
already controls all its departments
save its judiciary, when selfish ambi-
tion has deprived Delaware for two
years Of her voice in the Senate, take
it that a coalition Of all self-respecting
citizens, regardless OF party, is not only
their privilege, but their duty, to re-
deem the State from so foul a stain.
When President Roosevelt sent for
me and asked me TO confer and try to
reach a harmonious understanding be-
tween these factions, l refused to dc
it. told him such conditions admitted
of no conference or compromise.
"The Addicks power must be fought
to a finish. To eend such a man to the
United States Senate would be a dis
grace to the State and a national hui
initiation. And even should Addicks
win-and l don't see now how that is
possible-I, for one, should give him
the reply John Paul Jones gave the
Scraps from the deck of the Richard:
Surrender? Sir, l have not yet begun
to fight.
Il hope and believe the coalition will
succeed" General Wilson continued
"Of those eight men l believe all can b,
depended upon at least not to vote fol
Addicks. 1 know Mr.. Salisbury vel
and am confident he would accede tC
any reasonable arrangement that would
permit us to enter the door now opened
to us. 1t is the first time the Democrats
have ever given us such an opportunity
in the ten long years of strife. If tn,
Republicans fail to grasp it they ar,
nincompoops."
A Well-known Democrat said this
morning that there is no end of trouble
in getting the twenty-one Democrats tc
agree to the fusion plan. Il am afraid,
he said, that if it is not accepted this
time they viii not agree TO fuse again
