GENERAL col EMaN pu POINT. !
Coleman du Pont was born 10 Ken.
lucky and started his working life in
the mines OF the Blue Grass State. he
stands today as Il or the rev sue
cessfil men who have acquired their
positions By methods that will stand
scrutiny, He has been a producer
not a stock jobber, He has never an
tagonized any class OF people. Capital
and Labor alike admire him.
Without self-adyeTtissment he does
more charity than do most men. He Ia
ali ardent advocate OF good roads and
believes that a really perfect system
Of highways will enhance the farmers
income and reduce the cost Of living
to the cities. He has built roads n
given them to his state, always with .
sound business scheme to perpetuats
them and save them from being a
burden to the taxpayers.
He comes from a family more Amer
lean than most-a family identified
with the building OF the nation since
the Revolution. His grandfather was
Thomas jefferson's most valued per-
sonal friend and advisor in the time
Of great need during the dark days
Of the Republic.
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
supplied our government with all Its
powder al d price always named by
our government officials Themselves
and never by the company.
Because of his great executive abil.
ity and high standing In the business
world, some Of the shrewdest po.
litical minds in the country consider
him as being one Of the most likely
dark horses for the Republican
nomination. They point to the fact
that his SUCCESS in life would slimin-
ate any need for q friendly Colonel
House, or any other financial influence
standing eyer behind the presidential
chair, Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group OF
men.
Another factor that the supporters OF
General du Pont are pointing to Is his
knowledge Of military affairs. For
sixteen years he has been identified
with the soldiery of his state and is
thoroughly alive to the necessity for
preparedness. He has also had
practical training In politics, hav.
ing been a delegate to a number OF
State and National conventions. and
serving az a member Of the Republican
National committee for many years.
1t is the splendid business training
of General du Font that is pointing
the way for him to the nom
nation, For IT is conceded on all
sides that the biggest problems of this
country at the close OF the European
wal will be business problems, and
there are few men among those men.
toned. who have had his experience
In coping with such huge problems.
Az a manager Of constructive bust.
ness and az a Teorganlzsr, Coleman
du Font stands in a class by himself.
