Trading in outside securities was a fairly ex-
tcnsive scale although the total volume or ousl-
ness transacted fell of somewhat from Wednes-
day. Early prices showed fractional advances but
toward noon some selling pressure appeared and a
reactonary tendency set in. Considerably more at
tentiou paid to the low-priced stocks, which,
in nearly every instance, responded with sharp
advances on fairly heavy purchases. New-fork
Transportation rose nearly per cent; Manhattan

ACTION Is REQUIRED

Gentlemen of the Legislature. make
no mistake. The people Of this state
expect two senators to be elected II is
true that no senators is better than to
elect Addicks. but an election may oc-
cur leaving Addicks out OF the ques-
ton. There may be many sharp moves
and wise maneuvers, but the people are
going to hold you accountable for
an election Of senators. ana it can be
done. leaving Addicks OF his hench-
men out of the question. The Regu-
lar Republican party has fought a
gallant fight. but it has been largely
negative. No party can succeed per-
manently unless it produces direct re-
suits. Whether two senators are real
iy needed or not, is aside from the ques-
zion. The people want them. and moth
ing less will satisfy them.
II the Regular Republicans are only
a faction that exists for spoils. then
they should surrender go Into a COM
mon caucus and abide by the result,
no matter who may be elected II they
represent a distinct party which ex-
lists because OF a desire to preserve the
dignity and honor OF the state, as we'll
as of the party. then they should not
hesitate a moment to form any al
lance which will secure the ends for
which they have been fighting so long
Certainly they cannot elect senators
by their own votes. but 20 be effective
they must attract support from other
quarters. The Union Republicans have
refused this on any honorable basis;
consequently they must look to the
Democrats. They should do this frank
ly and openly. and not as though
there were any cause for shame.
Let them make a proposition to the
Democrats. If it is rejected. let them
make another. and continue till all
honorable means are exhausted. If
the Democrats prove obdNatc. then
we shall know whore TO place the re-
sponsibility 1t seems to us that the
eight Regulars cannot treat Democratic
proffers as insults and seek every OPP
poriunity Of prefering Union Repub-
lican affiliations. and yet expect the
Democrats to fall over ea@h other in
their eagerness TO elect Republicans
The situation requires courtesy and

EDITORIAL OPINION
Two Ways Out Of Addieksism.

Two Ways Out Of Addicksism.
From the New York Press.
Should the Democratic members of
the Delaware Legislature vote with the
Regular Republicans for two Republi-
cans. but anti-Addiclxs, senators, their
unselhsh work in saving their COM
monwealth from corruption would be
parallel to that of the Regular Re
publicans who have made their long
and stubborn fight. They might In rea-
son do this, for while they were chosen
by their Democratic constituents to
vote for Democratic candidates for
SENATOR the actual voting is merely a
form, the Democrats being in mi
ucrity and therefore not entitled. un-
der our system of government, to rep
resentatiOn in the upper branch OF Com
gress. Yet. If a sufficient number OF
Democrats could net accommodate
their partisanship to vote for two Reg
ular Republicans to assure their cleo
ton, they might we'll be induced to
join in voting for one Democrat and
ono Regular Republican. This would
give their State a representation which
would strike am even balance for parti-
sanship in the National Legislature,
one Democratic vote offsetting one Re
publican vote. but it would give Della
ware a fun representation ON all Ques-
tions affecting il and ON all public ques-
tions where partisan lines sink. Best
Of ALL 10 would dispose Of Addicks, the
issue which is by far the most import
ant with which the citizens of Della
ware, Republicans and Democrats, have
to deal
This would be the warrant OF the
Regular Republicans to- send a Demo-
crat to the Senate. though the Demo-
Gratis are the minority party in the
State andn not entitled to representation:
That a majority Of the voters Of the
State opposed TO Addlcks and that a
division of the senatorships-on Regu-
lar Republican and one Democratic
would give an anti-Addicks represen-
tatiOn of State i'm the Senate. without
working any unfairness to the Repub.
lican party, since the result would In
effect leave the vote of the United
States Senate exactly where Il Is now
with Delaware out. In the one cas-,
we have at present no Delaware votel
in the Senate. Under the divided rep
resentation we shall have what woul'
be virtually a constant pair of TIL
