 Outcome of a Four
 year Struggle

Dover. Del, March 2LFor the first time in four years the State of Delaware today has full representation in the United States Senate. At a special ses- sion the State Legislature elected Stats Senator J. Frank Alice (Union Republi- cam to the enatorship which will expire in 1907 and Congressman Theisler Ball (regular Republican) to the term expir- ing In 1905.
 The election was undoubtedly due to pressure from Washington brought to bear upon the regular Republicans in the Legislature who have all along been opposed bo the election of J. Edward Ad- dicks or any of his adherents to the United States Senate.
 Congressman Dick of Ohio came to Dover today in the interest of Republican harmony He established headquarters at the Hotel Richardson, where prior to the joint session of the legislature he re- ceived delegation from each Republican faction. He advised the acceptance by the regular Republicans of the union Re- publicans' proposal agreed on in Phila- delphia Saturday, that a union Republi- can be elected to the long term Senator ship and a regular Republican be elected for the short term, Addicks himself to be eliminated. In this connection MT. Dick said:
 ''The regulars should scept the proposi- ton of the union Republicans. This is the best thing to do and is what the national committee wants. 1 am doing all l can to bring about this result" Unions Choose Alice.
 The thirty-ifth ballot was taken at noon and resulted in no election. and a recess was taken until 2:S0 o'clock. After the anf hat uu "a upin nd a r Republicans had been reported the union Republican legislators met in caucus and named J. Frank Alice as their candidate for United States Senator. The Demo crats in caucus decided unanimously to vote for one regular Republican. but were unable to agree on the proposition to vote for two regular Republicans.
 The election of Messrs Alice and Ball was announced to an audience that filled the House of Representatives to suffooa- ton. The noise and confusion on the part of those who came to see the pro- ceedings was so great that many of the legislators became bewildered and ap- parently did not know how to vote when the roll was called The appearance of Congressman Dick in the hall was the signal for wild and prolonged applause. Beside him sat MT. Addicks. The latter evinced satisfaction when the result was announced. He was the first to congratu- late Senator Alice and was followed by a long procession of legislators and specta- tors, all of whom were anxious to shake the hand of the successful candidates.
 The election Is regarded here as an Ad- dicks victory because of the refusal of the regular Republicans to agree to com promise with the Democrats.
 II have only to say" said Senator Alice T that I have All the place that belongs to MT. Ad- dicks"
 The two Senators will report at Wash ington Wednesday.
