aspirations to become United States SEN
ator from Delaware are well known, called
on the President this afternoon with State
Senator Alice OF Delaware, who is known

PRESIDENT was brief but was of such ma
ture that Mr.. Addicks thought 1t best to
say nothing. All Mr.. Addicks would say
was that he had never asked or secured
pledge in his life from a member of the
Delaware legislature to support him for
United States senator. Mr.. Addicks is con-
fident that he will be elected senator at
this session. The President has up to this
time declined to have anything to do with
the contest. ="
