THE GOVERNORS OF DELAWARE.
Discussed by Three Speakers In Philadel
phia--Strong Words by r.. II. HoHeeker.

Discussed by Three Speakers In Philadel-
phia--strong Words by #. II. HoHecker.
The Sons OF Delaware Of Philadel-
phia held social entertainment Thurs
day in the Betz Building. The SUBJ
ject of the addresses was THE
Governors of Delaware.
Henry G. Conrad spoke on the
governors coming from Kent county, >
Francis II. Hoffecker on those from
New Castle county and William T.
Smithers of Dover, on those from
Sussex county. James b. Candy,
President, presented to the club por-
traits Of present Gov. Hum and several
former governors, together with an
etching Of Belmont Hall, Smyrna, one
of the Oldest colonial mansions in
Delaware, dating from 1854. 1t was
the home of Gov. Collins during the
Revolution, and the first session of the
Delaware Legislature is said to have
taken place there.
In closing his address, Mr.. Hoffecker
said: "The,e men who have made
Delaware what she is, or should be-
today, have committed to the present
generation, sacred trust. Shall that
trust be betrayedY So did impulse
and selfish ambition can have no place
In the estimate of our people, so long
as they recognize and require the
standard attained by the distinguished
men, whose names have mentioned this
evening. cannot believe, that our
people will be willing or satisfied, to
accept a lower standard OF men, to
hold our public offices. We have good
men. Their selection to office Is a
matter that rests with our citizens.
Financial environment, without fitness
or political principle, is poor recon-
lnendstion for popular suffrage. Let
US however hope, that our people true
to the traditions OF the past, may select
only the best, truest, and most COM
petent, for public office.
Then, and only ther, can We say
with pride and satisfaction, IN the
words of the poet:
Here, shall our State, Its peoples rights
defend,
unawed by influence, unbribed by gain;
Here, Patriot, Truth, her glorious precepts
draw.
Pledged to Religion, Liberty and Law.
