parties have sunk.

into a committee meeting to nx up
a ticket to help elect Leg

publican senators from Delaware to
Washington. and make certain that
Addicks will be one Of the two.
Deeds speak louder than words, and
the things you are doing are far more
significant than all OF the righteous
professions in the word. I am Bryan's

Delaware are also sincere friends and
supporters Of Bryan, and 1 should like
