HERBERT Il. WARDS CANDIDACY

Among the many excellent candi-
dates on the Republican state ticket
none gives greater satisfaction and
pleasure 70 all opponents Of Democracy
than Herbert H. Ward. the candidate
for attorne general. His nomination

OF Delaware are especially fortunate in
his nomination. He never has been

makes him an especially available and
popular candidate His ability is ac-
knowledged by everyone. He has the
confidence Of the courts. the bar, a
large clentage and the public. And.
better still, he deserves the confidence
Of an OF them.
Mr. Ward does not need the office;
the office needs him. He has passed
that stage in the life Of lawyer when
a public Office Is desired for advertis-
ing purposes. In the courts and other
places he has demonstrated his ability
as a lawyer and his strict integrity al
