SENATORIAL FIGHT
NOW ONIN EARNEST

'It appears that the men Of New Cas-
tie resent the idea or proposed plan Of
the Kent and Sussex members meeting
and talking over the senatorial situa-
ton, Notwithstanding efforts have been
and are being made to tie the hands
and feet of the thirteen New Castle
members by having them pledge to
vote as a unit on the senatorial ques-
ton. If a fight is forced upon US by
New Castle. no one will regret it more
than /, yet, at the same time. feel that
our people are ready to resent any en-
upon their rights. and for
the principe involved In this contest
they will stand together until the last
ditch. let the consequences be what
they may"
Caucus Soon.
It is not known just when the pro-
posed meeting of the Kent and Sussex
men will take place, but it is likely to
be tomorrow night, and may take
place this evening.
The report published in the Will
mington and Philadelphia papers to the
effect that certain members had been
induced by New Castle influence to
Withdraw their names from the con-
ference agreement. is said to be abso-
lutely false. DR.. Layton says that ef-
forts have been made and will continue
to be made by New Castle to break the
Kent and Sussex line but he has no
fear that such efforts will be success
full, unless he has misjudged the CALI
bre of a great majority of the Kent
and Sussex members.
PennewiII Wants the Place, Too.
Senator Sim Pennewill has es-
tablished headquarters here. and is now
consulting with the opponents of Sem
ator Alice. 1t is understood that he is
TO be the opposition candidate. He has
not yet announced his candidacy. but
will probably do so to-day or to-mor-
row. It is understood that there is nc
probability Of Judge Pennewill chang
ing his mind and entering the senator
ial fight. and as Sim Pennewil has a
larger support than Harry A. Richard
son. and also the promise of help from
New Castle, it is supposed that he will
be the only candidate against Senator
Alice.
Senator A. B. Conner has also an
inounced that after a complimentary
vote for Addicks, he may do a little
electioneering on his own account.
Friends Of ex-senator Benson are
speaking OF him as a probable sena.
torial candidate.
