Twenty mime men will participate In the

Col. Henry A. DUPONT or J Edward Addicks,
the leaders Of the lighting factions, gets
only fourteen votes the caicts Will he
tied up, for II IL quite certain that Repre-
sentative III notify Townsend Of Dagsboro
Hundred, Sussex, intends tn vote for Gov.
Preston Lea. Both Gov. Lea and Secretary
of state Cahall have urged Mr.. Townsend
not 10 vote for Lea il he had 80 intended,
hut Mr.. Townsend has given no intimatIon
that he has changed his determination
Townsend's attitud . grows out OF a feeling
that prevails throughout Sussex county
that Col. DUPONT il not the man to send
TO the Senate, because he is not in SYM
pathy or touch with the people Of he state.
This same feeling once existed aRalns
Addicks, but recently the gas man has
overcome il, making frequent trips over
the State, visiting men at their farms, es1
tai fishing headquarters at villaRe nm ana
fratemizing generally with the people.
withdrawing this feeling, however,
Col Henry A. DUPONT will, il seems certain,
receive an overwhelming majority In the
caucus.
For a man TO he both unpopular and in
Europe at the same time, a. DuPont IL,
would handicap most leaders, but a strange
line of circumstances have interviewed.
Addicks's political fortunes have not
only dwindled but he has lost the powerful
support OF his three lower Delaware leaders
- NanAtAr Il ErnnE AllEn
Insurance Commissioner George W. Mar
shall and Auditor Caleb r. Layton, AL Of
Kent and Sussex counties, former Addicks
s~trongholds. Addicks has absolutely no
strength in his own county OF New Castle
and has not a single Assemblyman from
that county. He has depended entirely
upon the support of Legislators elected
from Kent and Sussex counties, the cam
paigning territory of Alice. Marshall and
Layton,
II Addick. had all the Kent and Sussex
strength in the Legislature he would I'M
doubtedly he nominated in the caucus,
He had them all in the Union Republican
caucus, held after the organization OF this
Legislature in 1905, when twenty-five Kent
and Sussex countians, the entire delegation,
went into caucus and voted for Adoicks,
The Regulars, however, would not par
ticipate and with New Castle county arrayed
soliliv against the gasman II Col.
DUPONT still refusing to have ANYTHING to 60
with him the has three times refused TO go
to the Senate with Addicks when a cont
promise might have been Effected. then
seven of the twenty-five Addicks men,
having discharged their obligation by voting
for him twice in Joint Assembly, LETT hifli.
They will undoubtedly never rstum 70 him.
Two more Addicks men-Senator Moole
of Laurel, appointed to a Federal post ONCE,
and Representative Marshal Of George
town, appointed to an army post, have
thereby been disqualified As Assemblymen
and have resigned. This has left Addicks
with thirteen legislators out OF the remain
ing twenty-nine. If Addicks should get
all those who did not leave him during the
entire legislative session and go over to
the DuPonts he would even then lose the
caucus nomination on Monday night.
But can he hold his thirteen? When
Addicks controlled these thirteen and dead
slant aid of Alice, Marshall and Layton.
Unless all political signs fail. Senator
Alice and his associates control seven OF
these thirteen Assemblymen, not including
Representative Townsend, the legislator
who wants to vote for Gov Lea. From
the very first these men have given indica-
ton that they acknowledged the leadership
of Senator Alice, and when, recently the
Senator called a council of his legislative
friends in his private office at Dover THESE
seven were present and not only agreed
with him that Dupont should be the Sena-
loI, u NihlNNi hio PopN''
the New Castle county members, that II
they would nave the Governor call a special
Legislature they would 60 in and partici-
pate and support Col. Dupont. These men
were Senators Barnard and Houston Repre-
sentatives Bags, McGinniss, Garrison, Alb
bott and Messick.
Thus. with Alice here leading the fight
for the DuPonts and cutting down Addicks,s
remaining forces, it is almost assured,
unless there il a great change and an I'M
foreseen development on Monday night.
that Addicks will have only the five re-
naming votes in caucus-those of Senator'S
Conner and Moore and Representatives
Davis, Bennum and Murray.
The wise men in Delaware politics, and
this ia a shrewi political State, admit that
there Is one way and II way only that
Audicks can now break the rock against
which he has been run by his friends-that
is the remote possibility Of breaking the
New Castle delegation.
IL, for instance, he should send Senator
Conner into the Republican caucus with
instructions to vote for Harry A. Richard
son, a resident Of Senator Allee's " town,
with a view of annihilating Alice, and IL in
a tangle which would undoubtedly result
the New Castle delegation should begin to
vote for Richardson, Addicks would lose
for himself, but he would assume a position
"a dictator and again defeat the DuPonts.
