helped to defeat their candidates at the
late election.
They could not agree upon anything,
and as q matter Of fact they never had
sufficient votes upon which they could
rely to elect even one Democrat and Que
Republican. Certain of their members
have declared that they would never
vote for a Republican, even TO elect
a Democrat as his colleague.

EXIT AND ENTRANCE

There are two elements for congratu-
lation in the wind-up Of the senatorial
contest; AddicKs is beaten, and DR.. Ball
goes from the House Of Representatives
to the Senate. Probably Addicks never
dreamed that Dir. Ball would be the
first OF the two to get the senatorship.
He doubtless thought that when he
committed the dastardly act Of electing
a Democrat to Congress he would bring
to an end DR.. Balls political career
1t is Just retribution for him to wit
ness the election Of the man who
scorned his Establishments while he
(Addiclxs), after spending fortune,
finds himself out in the cold.
His hatred for Dr. Ball has been
venemous. I'M his paper a few days
since he published an editorial whose
theme was, Exit Bail" But it appears
that Or. Balls exit from the House is
followed Immediately by his entrance
into the Senate. He simply passes from
one House to the other without going
out of doors. 1t is al case of poetic jus
tice. Every temptation was placed he
| fore DR.. Ball TO induce him to- play
the part Of traitor He refused these
advances, preferring an honorable de
feat to a dastardly retreat, and, behold!
he is elevated to the very place that
Addicls promised him if he would be
tray his friends. It is gratifying t'
note that such a man has been re
warded.

President Roosevelt has issued a
proclamation calling for an extra ses-

been made necessary because of the
failure to pass number Of very inn
portant measures. The Senate particu-
larly finds its session closing with two
important treaties not acted upon The
canal project is too great measure to
be postponed, and possibly killed by in

Delaware Senators.

From the New York sun.
For fourteen years Mr.. Addicks has
been a candidate for the United States
Senate In 1894 he elebted six out OF
the nineteen Republican members OF
the Delaware Legislature. In 1896 he
controlled the Republican State Con-
vention, but the National Convention
refused him recognition. In 1898 the
Republicans elected a majority of the
Legislature, but Mr.. Addicks could not
control enough votes to secure his
election. In 1900. and again in 1902, the
Republicans were in the majority in
the Legislature, but enough of them
were opposed TO Mr.. Addicks' candi-
dacy to prevent his election. Recently
