Both Parties TO Get the Vote Out.
Saturday was the third registration
day and but very little more interest
was manifested in this district than on
the two previous days. Registrar
Cunning of the Eastern District put
on so names making a total for the
three days of III, and Registrar Phil
lips of the Western District put on 81
names, making total for his district
of 141. The Eastern District is q
names short and the Western District
90 short, as compared with the cores
pouding day two years ago. There are
yet many names to be added and the
next two days will give our registrars
plenty to do. Registration lists are
now being printed and will be hung up
within the ten days limit required
by law. The next sitting of the reg
istrars will be Saturday, September
10, after which one more opportunity
will be given, Saturday, Oct. 20. No
one can vote at coming election unless
he be duly registered as prescribed by
law. There is no reason for the apathy
shown by the voters this year unless
it can be found in the fact that the farm
ers are in the midst of a very busy
fruit season and have not the time to
attend to it. 1t will require consider
able work on the part of the party man
ayers to get out full vote.
Republican voters are disappointed
at the decision of J. Edward Addicks
to run a separate ticket for the Union
Republicans, and many profess to be-
lieve that Addicks is getting ready to
use his influence to turn the state over
to the Democrats this Fall. 1t will be
recalled that in New York recently
Mr.. Addicks made statement to the
effect that he would not be surprised
if Delaware went Democratic this year
and he has talked along the same line
to political friends in Delaware. Mr..
Addicks seems firm in his intention to
run a separate ticket, rather than to
make a fight for control at the prim-
aries called by Chairman Ball and Alice
for S eptember to elect delegates to
the organization convention on Sep
tember 5. Chairman Ball tried in
vain to persuade Addicks to fall in
with his plan, although some of Ad-
dicks close friends aGmit he would
have an excellent chance of defeating
the Allee-Layton combine in Kent and
Sussex Counties for control of the del
egstes. While neither Chairman Bal
nor the other Republican leaders will
discuss the subject it seems generally
accepted that no deal will be entered
into with Addicks for q "cut-and
dried" ticket to be nominated by tht
Union Republican and the Republican
reorganization conventions. The New
Castle County Regulars seem deter
mined to follow out the re organiza
tion program, and even If there shoult
be any disposition hereabouts t
dicker with Addicks in framing pre-
arranged slate of candidates to b
nominated by both parties, Senate
Alice, DIR. Layton, and other down
State Union leaders, who are fghtin
Addicks would oppose such scheme
Should Addicks persist ia lsnaming hi
separate ticket the Democrats migE
be given an excellent chance of carry
ing the State. The strength of AZ
dicks obstinate move will be show
when his State Convention meets O
the 2Sth.
