The conspirators who have sought to
enlist the powerful aid of organized
labor in order to ALLEVIATE votes from
Senator Henry a. DUPONT have laid
much stress on union men examining
his record" with respect to his attitude
toward working men. We have more
than once pointed out that the best
evidence Of the Senator's regard for and
his treatment of workingmen can be
had by inquiry of the men who for a
score Of years worked under him in the
operation Of the old Wilmington and
Northern Railroad, while he was the
president and general manager of the
road.
But Senator duPonts legislative rec
ord is also plainly Indicative of the
scrupulous care he has always mani
tested to see that the interests of work
ingmen are safeguarded and protected.
The Star has made some inquiry rela-
tive to Senator duPont's public words
and acts, and the facts we have learned
have all borne out the representations
of his friends who so vigorously resent
the attempt by the conspirators here
to brand him as. "labors enemy"
When the La Toilette substitute for
the bill fixing the hours of railroad en-
ployes was offered in the Senate on the
10th Of January, l9O7-which substi-
tute made it unlawful for railroads to
require any of their employees engaged
in or connected with the movement of
any train to remain in service more
than sixteen consecutive hours. or to re-
quire or permit any such employees who
have been on duty sixteen consecutive
hours to 60 on duty without having at
last ten hours for rest, etc.-Senator du-
Pont voted for its adoption. The cour-
age of his conviction in regard to this
class Of laborers is clearly shown when
the vote is examined and such names as
Culom, Depew, Dick, Foraker, Frye,
Hale, Hepburn, Knox, Lodge, Smoot,
Sutherland and Warren, are found re-
corded against the adoption of the sub
stitute in question
When the substitute was up for final
action, Senator DUPONT again voted in
favor Of the railroad employees. This bill
became a law and was one Of the great
est strides ever made for safeguarding
the lives Of that class of employees who
are engaged in the train service of the
railroad companies.
On the 9th Of April, 1908, Senator du-
Pont voted for the passage of the act
making railroads liable for injuries sus-
tanned by any of their employees through
negligence on the part of the railroad
companies, EVEN THOUGH SUCH EN-
PLOYES MAY HAVE BEEN GUILTY
OF CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.
Let us see what Senator DUPONT has
had to say in regard to the working
man. On the 9th of April, 1908, when
the Naval Appropriation Bill was under
consideration, the Senator made the fol-
lowing remarks;
"But. Mr.. President, any princi
pie which is so unbending and so
undertaking as to take no note of
special circumstances or Of special

The principle referred to, is that o

The Senator held good to his promis,

From the Milford Chronicle.
In the past week there has been a
great change in the sentiment among
Republicans in all parts of Delaware,
and the change favors the success Of
the Republican party at the polls. It
is almost a certainty that John G.
Townsend, Jr., will be elected the next
Governor for Delaware, and along
with him the whole of the State and
county tickets. Delaware must send
Republican Senator and Congressman
to the Congress of the United States,
and that feeling has sunk deeply into
