quoted the statistics of the State
Banking and Insurance Commis-
sioner, showing that the deposits IN
the State banks in Delaware had In
creased from $9,900,000 In 1908 TO
about $12000,000 in 1912. With re-
spect to the convention at Dover, Mr..
Miller said he thought they had nom
mated a clean ticket and that the
strength Of the ticket, as vote getter
among Democrats as well as Republi-
cans gave very bright prospects Oh
success al the polls in November.
Mr.. Miller closed by referring to his
stand on the repeal Of the voters as
sistant law and the abolishment Of
the Australian ballot, as quoted at the
beginning.
Democrats "In Wrong"
Leonard T.. Wales was introduced
aud said In part: 81 fully expected to
attend this meeting as a listener, but
while at supper was informed that ]
was to be called on for a speech. Ow-
ing to the short notice have nothing
prepared, but will speak OF two
things near TO home One is the ques-
ton How am ! going TO vote Has
the Republican party done or left un-
done anything to cause me to cut
from II. | don't think the Democratic
party Is a progressive party, the Re
publican party Is.
"The Democratic party rs party Of
negation, party OF opposition. IL
was on the wrong side before the
Civil War. then after that war. and
then at the time OF the Spanish-Am
lean War. II is true II has had many
issues, such as free trade, free sill
yer. and the like.
"Yet they have not been consistent
on any of the questions. The Demo-
Gratis of the South asked for protec-
ton on their pet ideas. As for the
Trusts when they were in power they
did nothing, and the Taft administra-
tion has prosecuted more trusts than
any other. The trusts are here 70
stay and Il strikes me that there are
as many Democrats IN them as there
there are Republicans. II is not case
of politics with them.
"As for the high cost OF living, the
: trouble is that In addition TO the pro-
ducer of the potatoes being paid, the
! railroads. the commission man and
the retailer have all got to be paid
before we get them. The Democrats
blame us, but the same conditions
exist all over the world"

David J. Reinhardt. candidate for
State Senator. said; 1T Is keen
pleasure to speak TO those who are
going to vote for me, and want tc
say now, vote early and put youl
! mark under the eagle. After that
Mr. Miller and the rest OF us will
J watch out for you. The best way
TO see what the Democrats would dc
II In power Is 10 see what they have
! done when they were in control. The
other day a Democratic friend of mine
/ said Don't be so hard on u.s. oul
! donkey's nose has been out Of the
J trough for IS years"
I Now we will see what they die
, when II was In the trough. In 1SS'
. the comptroller's books show thai
z there was deficit OF $4,000 as
Z floating debt This WIS renewed from
J time TO time until Il amounted q
I $3.50, 900. and IN 1919 II the Republi
, can party Is IN power. II will be paid
g At the same time the Democrat
claimed they had low tax rate. rh
truth Is they did not pay any take
O and tho Republicans did.
I "Then again we know what wa
n done regarding the tax receipts an
y how when the day OF reckoning cam
It IN 1900 they had Mr.. Mealey bur
Y the stubs and we did not know wha
L was owed the county, This is th
