Colonel Henry A. DUPONT senior United states sena~
tor from this State Mr. Miller not only urged that

lie spoke truthfully when he asserted that the fight
now In progress between the Republicans and the
Democrats for the control Of the United states Sen
ate is one such the people Of this city never have

torial seats to be filled at the November election

the matter stands today IL the Republicans are 10

the sixteen Senatorial seats they now have including
the one occupied by Senator DUPONT but they must

Therefore it is necessary to defeat eight Demo
cratic Senators. running for reelection and re-
elect every Republican Senator" Mr. Miller said
The Republicans. who running the national cam
paien, can count the eight Democratic seats which We

seat be lost.
I'm Delaware senior United States Senator. Col
Henry A. DUPONT Republican. is one Of the sixteen
Senators up for reelection n he is returned it will
be TO support the policies and uphold the hands Of
Republican President. and there is doubt as TO
how Deawares electoral vote is going this year for
Charles Evans Hughes. because there are more than
enough votes in Delaware to make that a reality.
"A vote for Justice Hughes should therefore 90
hand in hand with vote for a man who will repre-
sent Republican principles in the legislative branch
Of the government for without either Of the legislative
branches Justice Hughes hands will he tied
III is a sufficient believer in Republican
principles and the Republican party to vote for that
partys choice for the highest national Office he should
il sincere, vote for the Republican candidate for
United States Senator, national office that goes
hand in hand with the Presidency.
The control Of the Senate is essential for If the
people elect Justice Hughes throughout the country
At large yet fail to give him control OF the Senate
their purpose will be thwarted
Il reiterate again there are enough voters in Della
ware today who will to it that the Presidential
candidate of the Republican party receives the cleo
toral vote OF this State and for the same reason a
Republican Senator should be from here 10 the
next Senate
The Republican nominee for Senator the Hon.
orahle Henry A DUPONT. should be reelected in No
vember, and personally know that Republioans
throughout the whole country have their ewes ON
Delaware as never before and expect this state 10
do whole job of it and not piece-meal one which
will be the case if we do not elect Republican sena
tor. which means the reelection Of Henry A. du.
Ponf"
Mr.. Miller is right Senator DUPONT, who is the
regular Republican nominee should be reelected be
both the public party will need him in
Washington when the new Republican administration
in. BY the same token il should be said that Mr.
Miller. another regular Republican nominee. alsC
should be reelected. because he has been useful
member of the House during the last two vars and
