SPEAKER URGES
FRANK II. DAVIS
Isaac FuId, Of New York, Says
the Dover Lawyer is Being
Stabbed in the Back

Isaac Fuld. Of New York. assigned
to this district by the Republican
Speakers Bureau. at a meeting OF the
Simon Wolf Republican Club last night
nailed a Democratic story sent out from
Dover that he had never seen or knowh
OF Frank Hall Davis until recently. The
article alleged that Mr. Fuld had said
in a speech that he had received a legal
opinion from Davis seven years ago
and then at a gathering in the Hotel
Richardson a short time later had inti-
mated that he had not Known him
until recently.
Alr Fuld had this 70 say last night
II want 20 say here tonight that
have known Mr. Frank II Davis Tor
4sstn .lar.; that ! have ptoha1iy hics
HIM In the course Of that ti.ns. not
more than six or seven times. Rut from
my convcr' atiOhs. from lie only advice
that he gave me as a lawyer and "n
which he won our case. want 10 say
that my entire knowledge Of Mr.. Davis
niaKes me say here that I would sac
rifice almost anything I had 10 sec him
elected overwhelmingly and joyously as
Gttcrney- general OF this state. because
o. the dirty. contemplate attacks that
are being made on a fair minded. hon.
est and innocent man.
'Now while I am on this subject. sec
whether / have not got the facts re-
garding this candidacy Of attorney
general right. I aAme 70 the state a
week ago, but I do not have 10 come
into a state TO know something about
its politics and I knew Of its conditions
long before l came here. but in order
TO see whether have a grasp Of this
situation. / ask you 10 follow me. II
seems that Mr.. Davis was regularly anc
fairly selected at the state convention
as a candidate for attorney general. II
seems that the great Republican part,
Of the state of Delaware, and its dele.
gates duly and property elected, nomi
mated Mr Davis
Stabbing in the Back.
1T also seems that a man who ha
himself been honored in the same wa.
has arrogated TO himself the authorit
to pass upon not only the wisdom o
what the Republican convention di
with regard TO its nomination for at
Itorney- general. but assumes TO be tn
sole judge as to the competency of an
candidate on that ticket II seems {
me an act Of the highest injustice tina
a man who has been honored for III
nomination of an Office by his ow
. party should assume TO question (nc
only to question for that would not
so serious) the nomination of any mem
, ber OF that state ticket. but this MAJ
as understand. has done more
This man not having sufficient conf
dence in his own judgment of mel
sent broadcast. throughout the stat
letters TO every lawyer asking for thei
opinion as to the competency OF NJ
Davis. Now If that is not stabbing
r man in the back in the most unfai
: way / do not know what IS. Just thin
: of the charge. Suppose a man make
a charge against you that you are In
conn petent It seems almost impossi
BILE for you TO prove the contrary. VIII
n don't he bring the facts? II a lawyc
E makes a charge against a man h
knows. II carries no weight unless b
q lean produce the facts. This man hs
not submitted one fact where Mr. Dav
p has ever made a single legal mistak
h He has never produced a fact that an
h client Of Mr Davis has ever suffere
= because of his so-called incon1petenc
He has proved nothing and has on
y thrown a doubt upon Mr.. Davis cha
acter. Intelligence and ability and
Q wash from the bottom of my heart III
. YOU will work for Davis and get eve
i one Of your friends TO vote for him T
!, we all believe in fairness and fs
