II was Colonel Macbeth who observed on
one occasion respecting Colonel Banquo-a
gentleman he had had put out of business
but who in disembodied form insisted on at
tending little dinner given by the former
to a few friends:
The times have been
That. when the brains were out. the man
would die.
And there an end"
So it may be said of the political boss
The times have been that when his Doodle
ran out he was done for. But over in
Delaware this does not seem to be the case
There is boss in that little state who
defies time and tide and all the rules, and
keeps agoing.
How often have we all heard that J.
Edward Addicks had reached the bottom
of his wallet; that such being the case his
political career was ended and the public
freed from bad influence, Days of thanks
giving have almost been set. Many persons
have INDUCED in long signs of relief. Dawn
at last, after a long night of Addicksism
and decentralization.
And yet here is the old boss. described as
walletless and down and out, presenting
himself at the party board and demanding
recognition He wants to be governor, and
declares that the situation favors his ambi-
ton. He has probably put his senatorial
aspirations on cold storage until such a
time as may encourage another essay In
the senatorial field.
What have we here? Not what manner of
man, because We are all pretty we'll advised
of who Mr.. Addicks Is, and what he repre-
sents In politics But what may be thought
of an organization which makes such an
announcement by such a man possible?
Why Is It that in this day of recent anti
boss activity and success everywhere else
the republicans of Delaware still maintain
such an attitude toward this man as keeps
his name before the public? Has he really
such a hold upon them authorizes the
claim he makes as to the future? Is it pos
sible for him to secure even a nomination
to the governorship of Delaware?
Is the anti-boss tide turning as the presi-
Dental campaign draws near? The old
democratic machine leaders stirring in
Maryland. Cox. the republican boss of Gin
cinnati. is again in harness. Its managers
are lubricatfng the Tammany machine for
use next year. AddickS belongs In that COM
pany. Is he encouraged by what other
bosses are doing in other states? Does this
explain the recrudescence of the gas man?
