Tt THE interview OF Senator Alice
i was interesting. the Illumination
OF Addicks, is wildly exciting The for
mer preserved "a certain amount of
decorum; the latter threw decorum to
the winds Senator Alice apparently
sought to state facts as they are gem
orally accepted. and to lay claim to
consistency. Addicks did not hesitate
10 utter falsehoods and to paint his
own character In the most disgusting
manner possible

like it. no other man IN broad Amerl-
ca could have so delivered himself
He insists that he is a gentleman, and
Il is rather pathetic when we think
that a man is driven to such straits
that he has to insist Oh this and TO
quote IN support of his contention the
alleged Acknowledgement of his claim
to respectabnity by one who is dead.
What a testimonial Among all the
lner that Addicks has known he Is
able to quote just one (and he is dead)

In numerous places Addicks asserts
that he is going to the Senate from

way for him TO do It. That IS by
making an alliance with the Demo-

concerned. We should estimate his
chances Of going to the Senate as good
as those of Councilman Postles or
