Bridgeville presided.
Senator dupont Spsaks.
In the course OF his speech Senator du-
Pont said he accepted with good deal of
pleasure the Invitation to be present and
TO meet so many Of his Republican
friends of Sussex county. lie added that
he did not have il in mind to attempt to
make a set speech but he thought it might
be ftting TO make a few informal remarks
Of the nature Of heart to heart talk.
'srhe ideal condition Of any member OF
would be to enjoy the personalshrdlu
the Delaware Congressional delegation
would be TO enjoy the personal acquaint-
ance Of every constituent" continued
Senator DUPONT. "The slightest reflection
will show that such a condition Of affairs
is not practicable, even in such small
state as Delaware. History tells us fam
GUS statesman of Greece was able to call
by name 10000 fellow citizens. Even il it
was a historical fact it strained credulity
TO the breaking point.
In Wilmington alone II a member Of
Congress enjoyed the personal acquaint-
ance of 2O,0OO constituents there would be
5000 or 400 at least whom he did not know
As TO the rest Of the State they wouldn't
be within the limits Of his acquaintance at
all.
las / cannot know everybody the next
/ best thing will be for me TO know as many
OF my constituents as possible. ON this
occasion 1 am glad to be with you to-day
and to have the pleasure of making so
many new acquaintance.
Il am glad to come, delighted to be
here and L win be pleased to come again.
''As you know, this is what is called an
off year, but sec no reason because II IS
an off year that we Republicans should
lay off Much can be done by assuaging
past differences and promoting good feel
ing and getting the party into a harmon
lous condition. More important than this,
much can be done in perfecting organiza-
ton. and without going into details would
say generally that the more people you
can interest. particularly the young men,
the better it will be.
In conclusion / cannot do better
than TO repeat the substance Of some
remarks ] made in speech in this
town during the last campaign. As
you all know ] come from the Second
district constitutionally known as rural
New Castle county where / was born
and raised and where my father lived
before me. AS United States Senator
l do not represent the Second Consti-
tutional district alone, but the whole
State. the First district, the Second
district, the Third district and the
Fourth district. ] can truly say since
/ have been in the Senate / have given
much time and attention and used as
many efforts in promoting in every
proper way the best interests OF my
constituents in the Fourth district OF
Sussex county as l have in promoting
the interests Of the Second district oil
any other part OF Delaware"
In conclusion Senator dupont again
/ expressed his pleasure at being present
ard at meeting so many prominen
Republicans.
