Heisler Ball had the support of the Union Republicans and was elected with the understanding that Addicks would be able to make the federal appointments if Ball were endorsed. Ball has now lost support and Republicans are bolting from the party. Addicks holds President Roosevelt responsible for dividing the Republicans in Delaware.
