Charles r. Miller for Governor and 3 8
George H. Hall for Congress TO
Head Winning Republican Ticket

stronger endorsement for the re-
nomination of William H. Heald than
the words that have just been spoken
by the former Senator; not only what
he has said, but the character and
! position OF the man who has lust
addressed you should be your guide
! In determining the man you are to
place on the Republican ticket for
Congress.
There is no delegation in Congress
that is more hardworking and har-
monious than the three gentlemen
who represent Delaware at Washing
ton. One oftens hears OF the wonder
/ ful strength Of the Wyoming delega-
ton at Washington, composed like
wise OF two Senators and a Congress-
man. That State has only three
fourths as many inhabitants as Della
ware. The secret OF their success is
due to the fact that their Senators
have been in continuous service since
the admission OF the State In 1890 and
their Congressman is now serving his
eighth term in the House. But gentle
men Of the convention the present
delegation from Delaware is just as
strong and just as rich in accomplish
ments as any delegation IN Congress
today. The ways and channels
through which a member OF Congress
can do good for his State are without
number and very little OF the real,
actual, substantial work OF a member
can be exploited in tho Congressional
Record. The great strength OF a mem
Der of Congress. outside OF his per-
eonality, comes from the character OF
the Committee upon which he Is serv-
| ing fact, that is not generally re-
cognized by the country al large, Is
that the real work OF Congress Is
! done In Committee. When you are
reminded that some forty thousand
bills we're introduced In the House
alone during the past Congress you
will see the Importance and the
amount OF work done by a member OF
one OF the large standing Committees.
Mr.. Heaid at the present time is un-
on two OF these large Committees. He
Is the ranking Republican on the
Claims Committee which will mean
the Craftsmanship should tho next
House be Republican He has been on
the Banking and Currency Committee
since his frst election 10 Congress and
is a member OF the Committee that Is
investigating the so called Money
Trust" Mr.. Heald was chosen to go
on this Committee because OF his re-
cognized ability in matters pertshn-
ing to banking and Il Is acknowledged
that he IS without a peer on that
Committee. His advice and counsel
have been sought persistently by the
Democratic majority on this investi-
eating committee and he is one OF
| the men responsible for orderly and
sane methods used which is I'm con-
trast to the other investigating Com
mittees appointed by the Democratic
House. When Mr. Heaid was placed
on this Committee he was in line for
the Naval Affairs Committee but at
n the request OF the leaders accepted
the appointment TO which have re-
ferred.
'You Gentlemen from Sussex well
lrememher the efforts that have been
Imade FOR tho mast twenty years to
brinr Congress 70 appronriate money
for the completion OF the canal 10
connect Rehoboth Bay with the Della
ware Bav and thence the Atlantic
Ocean. without detracting from the
records OF former Congressman from
Delaware. let me sav that n remained
/ for Congressman Heaid to bring about
the completion Of this project which
will mean SO much 10 vow In the
southern part Of the State. When this
canal Is completed. which will be
within two years. the produce from n
great area Of fertile land will be
brought within reach OF a Shipping
point and the advantage to b, gained
both on account OF this commerce and
trading Is manifold When you re-
member Gentlemen. that this was
accomplished IN a Democratic Con-
eress which Is noted for being par-
simonious, esnecially 20 new projects
YOU can understand the amount OF
work and labor that was necessary
70 bring about this appropriation. with
such objections 10 overcome as we're
hurled at n from an ever watchful
Democratic majority When Senator
dupont obtained IN approximation OF
a quarter of n million dollars for a
nermanent dredging plant for the
Christiana River. by means OF which
a standard twentv-foot channel OF
immense benefit TO Wilmington COM
merce will be secured e. WAS necessary
for your Congressman TO bring every
thing that. he could 10 hea~ on the
Democratic majority IN the House To
retain the item IN the Rivers and
Harbors appropriation bill and his
success IN the matter is personal
victory.
"The manufacturers and business

b gardless of party. are loud in their
q commendation of the work done by
! Mr.. Heald and | can honestly say that
r almost to a man they are anxious that
