ANTI=ADDICKS REPUBLICANS
NAME STRAIGHT TICKET
CONVENTION GIVES COMMITTEE POWER TO
MAKE CHANGES IN TICKET.
Just as Senator Ball Thinks He Has Won Victory
Over Hggins-Fred Bach Springs the Resolution
Giving Power to Make Changes for Harmony
and 1t is Adopted.

The Anti Addicks Republicans held
theil State Convention as advertised,
and there was some very adrOit work
done by the friends Of ex. Senator Hlg-
gins. The BaIl-duPOnt faction of that
wing of the Republicans. went to the
convention without any slate, other
than a determination to name ticket
that they could control, but Mr.. Hig-
gins, through his friends, was able to
let them have their way, so far as the
ticket went, but placed a string to 1t,
by adopting a resolution that gives the
State committee power to make changes
in the ticket in the interest Of harmony
and one ticket for the Republicans to
vote in November.
DIR. Joseph H. Chandler, of Center
vile, New Castle county, was named
by unanimous vote for Governor, and
the only open contest there was in the
convention was on the State Treasurer
ship. The fact was, that neither Of
the two lower counties wanted a vote
by roll call, as neither had their full
quota OF delegates.
The convention was held in the New
Opera House, and it was very orderly
and without much enthusiasm. Every
thing moved without any apparent
friction.
Merritt n. Willetts, of MiddletOwn,
made a gallant fight for the nomina-
ton, but he could not poll much over
third OF the votes necessary to NOM
mate.
An effort was made to have the
friends Of Horace Greedy Knowles turn
i2 for Willetts, but they were too sule
of their position, and failed to make
The fight.
The caucuses were held before the
dinner hour, and the districts agreed
upon the committees, and these eau
cuses there were some very lively tilts.
After the dinner hour the delegates
assembled in the Opera House, Senator
Ball calling the gathering to order and
announcing that the State committee
had recommended that 7. Coleman
dupont be temporary chairman, and
Frank l.. Speakman, temporary secre'
tary of the convention. Mr.. dupont
made an excellent presiding officer
He made a brief opening address, say
ing that he hoped to see the Republican
party united on principles containing
high ideals, honesty, justice and purity
of the ballot. It will not be united
upon any other ground, and any single
individual should not be considered
Only upon broad guage lines can the
Republicans get together. "Now lei

inatiOn for Insursance Commissioner.
For the State Treasurership Brad
Murphy, of Dover, was nominated,
but Thomas Rawlius, of Seaford, won
the nomination by a vote OF 50 to IS;
the delegates ofthe lower counties being
afraid to call the roll.
Jp to this time the nomination of
Lieuteuant Governor had been begging
ana no one would have it; but Samuel
I Fl. Derby, of Woodside, was willing to
be made a sacrifice, and he was thank
ed for taking the nomination.
4 The convention adopted the name of
"Republican" and the "eagle" with
out-stretched wings as its emblem.
Just as the delegates were leaving
the house, Mr.. William $. Hilles offer
ed the resolution to give the committee
power to make changes in the ticket,
and it went through with flying colors.
1t reads as follow:
"Whereas, In order TO maintain the
standard of good government so essen
tial to the well being of all the people
of the State, it is essential that the
State offices shall be filled by Republi-
cans of unquestiOned and unquestiOna-
BILE personal fitness.
"Whereas, We realize that this end
can be reached only by the united and
concerted action Of all the Republicans
of the State, regardless of factiOnal diff
ferences; therefore be it
tResolved, That the State committee
is hereby authorized to fill all vacancies
bv death, resignation or otherwise on
the ticket this day nominated and to
