President at speech in his home
county on Saturday. The meeting,
which was marked by a reference to
the Senator as possible Presidential
timber. was held by the Delaware
County Republican Executive COM
mittee. Judge Isaac Johnson, of the
Delaware county courts, in speech
said: Delaware county is going to
lend Senator Sproul Pennsylvania,
and if the Democrats don't quit their
extravaganza in airplane building
and in other ways, it may be nee
essary to lend this big businessman
and statesman to the nation in a
few years"

Senator Sproul was introduced as
the next Governor by County Chair
man Alexander. Taking after the
war period as topic, Senator Sproul
said: Republican wisdom. courage,
knowledge and real business ability
will be needed in reconstruction after
the war, when great problems are to
be settled. When markets of The
world are again open, you will find
the good old-fashioned tariff again
to the fore to save the country from
the hardest times ever Seen.
Republicans are standing by
the President better than his
own people to win the war, but
the nation wants Republican
wisdom. policy and courage
after the war to make this
country the best place to live in,
which it has ever BEEN"
Pennsylvania is doing more
than the whole solid South to
win :he war, not only in work
and money but in supplying
men"
Some Democrats don't like
talk about preparedness. but
that is an old Republican
policy"
senator SpfOul tnuS asserted lIdt
if the nation had been ready it is
likely the Lusitania would not have
been sunk and we would not have
been dragged into the conflict, for
Germany would have been eclipsed
in her ambition and would not have
attacked us.
Our duty now" said the Senator.
"is to stand shoulder to shoulder
with the President of the national
administration. Their aims are our
aims and there must be no contro-
versy which would hinder our great
obiectives" said the Senator.
