 The next moment she was sitting on the floor with the recalcitrant drawer upside down in her lap and a lot of odd-looking papers scattered about.

 Below were some lines of poetry. She read them through. They were not so good. as poems go; in fact, there were spots where the meter halt ed and staggered. and the rhymes were not above criticism: but to the were more beautiful than any words of the greatest singers of all time.

ALFRED |. DU POINT
! WILL LEAD MOVEMENT
FOR CLEAN POLITICS
S.
Believes Such a Campaign is
Demanded by Deal for
Senatorship.
IT CANNOT BE conDoHED

+ Philadelphia Record
Wilmington. DEL, Aug 2o.--The ex-
pecfed arrival from the West of T.
Coleman du Pont. the new United
states Senator, again has stirred up
the opposition TO his acceptance of
the once in the highest and most de-
fiorrate political body in the land.
This opposition was vigorously ex-
pressed here today by Alfred I. du
Pont. who declared that. as a result
of "Delaware's Dirty Deal an in
dependent party not only Is a pos
sihiity. but also a necessity in the
present state of affairs in Delaware.
IL also means that the former leader
OF the Republican party in this State
and the proponent of an independent
party In lslSagain is willing TO jump
into the political fray and lead the
state out of its political stigma.
Du Points decision on the need of an
Independent party has stirred up his
former lieutenants who. since the be-
trayal OF the Republicans in the State,
have been urging him to get into the
ring again and once more display his
political power. With these aides 1t is
most likely true that du Pont, tired
OF the betrayal az recently committed
In Delaware, will assume the power of
leader and again clean out the political
stables OF the State of his birth. In
analyxing the situation, he continued:
Practically all of the reliable and
honest voters, in each of the old
parties. would readily support an in
dependent movement if such an or
g~nixation WAS put forth. The recent
deal. involving both Republican and
Democratic parties. shows that a re-
alignment of the parties is most
assuredfy desired. In such an event,
either the party's own candidate would
be chosen. or else the party would be
OF sufficient power to dictate proper
nomination. as was the case In Del
aware in 1916. when the Independents
obtained the men they wanted. or
defeated those who did not pass the
test required by the average citizen.
Wsaid Halt Other Deals.
AT least IL would be certain that
another deal of a nature recently per-
petrated in Delaware could not occur
with an independent party ready to
ask the vote OF the citizens. nor would
this State bring upon itself the stigma
of being corrupt politically. Such
reputation has again been enforced
upon us. 1t is not pleasant to be a
resident and have pride and interest
in the Commonwealth, and then.
through the connviance of few in
significant people. interested only in
their own advancement and having
the money or power sto do SO. to have
such a disgrace brought upon the
state and the latter to be publicly
blamed for something no real Della
warean would be willing to condone.-
Going from the independent party
subject to others Of interest Alfred
du Pont declared that Coleman du
pont VIII not be a candidate for re-
election as United States Senator
when his term evpries 16 months
hence. Asked for his reasons for max
ing such broad and positive state
ment be said that Coleman du Pont
